STOP making excuses and START creating the life you want!

Francine Ward likes to tell a compelling story of triumph over incredible odds-and the story is hers.

A professional speaker, self-esteem coach, author and intellectual property lawyer, Francine's rags-to-riches life inspires and motivates audiences no matter the industry or background. Once you hear her story, you'll understand why.

Today Francine is a graduate of Georgetown University Law Center, a successful copyright attorney, a marathoner and a woman helping people in as many ways as possible. But then she was:

• Strung out on alcohol, heroin and other addictive drugs (age 14)
• A high-school dropout and homeless on the streets of New York (age 18)
• Selling her body to support her drug and alcohol habits (age 21)
• Hit by a car and told she'd never walk again (age 26)
• The poster child for someone who is selfish, self-centered, and self-absorbed (age 28)

Francine used to allow fear, failure, and disappointment to control her view of the world. Now she knows how to create a life that only dreams are made of-and she's showing others how to do the same. Francine is living proof her story of resilience, endurance, and faith works under all conditions.

Success is not just about having confidence or having the right pedigree; it's about making right choices and being willing to overcome the inevitable obstacles bound to get in your way.

Francine's most requested topic, Fear Ain't Nothing But a 4-Letter Word, leads audiences to discover the one thing that separates those who are living the dream from those who feel they've been left behind: a willingness to walk through fear. She then teaches audience members the tools and strategies they can implement to stop letting fear control their lives. Other popular topics include:

• Self-Esteem Comes From DOING Esteemable Acts!
• Don't Give Up Before the Miracle!
• You Can't Change What You Can't See!
• Lions, Tigers & Friends: Landmines When Playing in the Social Media Sandbox!
• Common Legal Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make

A professional speaker since 1995, Francine is also the author of two books, Esteemable Acts: 10 Actions for Building Real Self Esteem and 52 Weeks of Esteemable Acts: A Guide to Right Living. In Esteemable Acts, Francine shares 10 doable actions to improve self-esteem, and in 52 Weeks of Esteemable Acts she shares 365 days of Esteemable Actions designed to help improve self-confidence. Francine is currently working on her third book titled Fear Ain't Nothin' But a 4-Letter Word.

Francine is also heavily involved in the community. From sitting on boards and volunteering time to donating money and providing pro-bono legal services to women, she believes there is always a way to give. Francine supports organizations such as the ASPCA, Southern Poverty Law Center, The Innocence Project, Marin Services for Women, San Francisco Bar Volunteer Legal Services Program Legacies in Motion, and KIVA.
