About Fran and Underwing
Hello! I’m Fran, and I’m dedicated to helping entrepreneurs and professional build thriving businesses that genuinely work with their unique thinking style.
Whether your brain is wired differently (like mine!), or you’re neurotypical but seeking effective strategies, I’m here to support you. No generic approaches—just practical, effective coaching that delivers real results. I combine straightforward guidance with proven strategies that work in the real world.
Let’s chat about what you need (this is a link but I can’t seem to make it stand out)
My Story:
The truth is—I’m a business owner with ADHD and likely Autism, and I’m also raising a wildly ambitious neurodivergent child. So I truly understand the challenges you face.
With over 20 years in marketing, events, and business growth, and 7 years running my own business, I bring substantial experience to my coaching. But honestly? It’s navigating professional life with a brain that works differently that has taught me the most valuable lessons. I’ve transformed my challenges into strengths, and I can help you do the same.
I create coaching programs that address the genuine struggles entrepreneurs face (particularly procrastination and overwhelm!), while celebrating the unique talents that come with thinking differently. I’ve seen first-hand that with the right approach, neurodivergent traits can become your greatest professional assets.
