I saw Franziska present at the Global Leadership Conference in Cape Town. She was phenomenal and captivated the room. I could see people taking notes, I did! Would highly recommend her as a speaker.
Shivani Gupta, CEO of ASKShivani
I wasn't sure what to expect in Franziska's Courage Map workshop. As a business owner, I've read a lot about courage, risk, and overcoming fear and doubt. Franziska not only shared a different perspective but her life experiences, which transformed these concepts into actions I could take away and start to apply. I loved her storytelling and I took copious notes on the different topics. Many in the room were taking notes and snapping pictures of the slides. I would highly recommend Franziska to any organisation and event organiser.
Sheryle Gillihan, CEO, CauseLabs
I loved Franziska's talk on courage and resilience at the EO Global Leadership conference. She's so humble and strong at the same time. She takes her audience with her on her extraordinary journey packed with major life topics and value for the entire crowd.
Frido van Mossel, founder of Amsterdam Heritage
Franziska's story is inspirational. As a leader and long-time member of EO, I found her journey uniquely invigorating. Listening to her, I felt a renewed sense of energy and determination to break boundaries. It's rare to find a story that genuinely ignites your passion, and Franziska's message is a testament to her incredible zest for life. Her enthusiasm was contagious, filling the room with a vibrant energy that motivated all of us, an already accomplished group of leaders, to push beyond our limits and explore new horizons. She doesn't just tell her story; she lives it with a passion that is truly illuminating.

I had the most amazing opportunity to meet Franziska in Seoul at the EO Women’s Summit. As soon as I heard her speak I was completely immersed in her story. She took us with her on her journey in the most natural and honest way. We laughed and learned and worked, all at the same time. It was an incredible learning experience. I would love to see her speak again. Thank you for sharing so much of you with us Franziska.

Franziska was a fabulous addition to our Strategic Entrepreneur conference. She is relevant. She is funny. She had tremendous positive energy. But most of all, she had easy to apply communication and marketing wisdom that really helped the +500 entrepreneurs in the room. I’d recommend any SME conference organizer to hire her, our audience loved her.

Franziska not only shared a different perspective but her life experiences, which transformed these concepts into actions I could take away and start to apply. I loved her storytelling and I took copious notes on the different topics. Many in the room were taking notes and taking screenshots of the slides. I highly would recommend the Courage Map workshop to any organisation and event organiser.
