I first  met Dr. Frances Penafort in 2017 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.  She is a fellow coach, trainer and consultant . Over the years we have been on our individual journeys, however her transformation since 2022 has been noteworthy. Today she  calls herself  “Unstoppable Frances”,  a huge transformation from the shy, not so confident small town girl, growing up in an environment where she had to curb her voice and her potential.  What triggered the transformation?  The start point was when she gave in to the 'Inner Voice/Inner Mentor/Inner Coach' that nudged her constantly to go on the Camino de Santiago a 100km solo walk in July 2022.  We will hear that motivating story from her - her fear, her blocks, her perfect plan, the challenges faced and her transformation in that moment when she stood at the entrance of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Frances wrote her book 'I’ll Never Walk Alone' about her solo walk in 3 -4 months and launched  it in New York at a Women's Empowerment Conference that she was invited to speak at in July 2023!  In the book she outlines the Blueprint for Success that we can apply to our lives and circumstances. Frances is the first and only lady MCC in Malaysia to have an ICF accredited Coaching School. She is Director at GPS for Professional PLT,  Director of Education at Frances' Coaching School. She is an International Keynote Speaker. And You will realize what an amazing story-teller she is as you listen to the episode.#wideangleconversations #DEItalks #coaching #empowerment #breakingbarriers
