Pilot, Executive, Speaker, and Scout
Hi I’m Franc Godri!
I was born in Montreal Quebec and as a young boy I moved to Dalton Georgia in 1973. This started me on a great adventure of changing schools 6 times in 6 years between two different languages. During that time, I met one of my early mentors, Mr. Van Herk (think of a tall and big boned wizard). He used the mountains to teach me, and the rest of the Scout troop, the life lessons of perseverance, problem solving and teamwork. I carried these values through my military pilot career, my executive corporate career, and now, in my current work with organizational leaders helping them reach their own mountain tops.
My ultimate purpose is to inspire leaders and leave them with not only new insights around mindsets, but see those insights change their lives!
Why Me?
Inspiring and Activating Change
Are you a hero or a zero…? For some of us, the reality of what we do has no middle ground. We are either the hero or we are the zero based on our ability to deliver … or not.
In my college football days, I was a corner back which meant that I was defending against those very quick wide receivers. Inevitably in the last minute of the game, those wide receivers would be thrown a long pass to try to win the game … if I prevented them from catching it, I’m the hero … if they catch it for a touchdown, I’m a zero…
As an event organizer, a conference sponsor, or a speaker bureau, I understand that your reality is quite similar. Deliver a great speaker…you’re a hero. Deliver a bad speaker…you’re a zero. You need a perfect blend of inspiration, education and motivation.
I take my diverse life and career experiences (yes, that includes my football career), blend them with the latest science and leadership research, and deliver a lively, engaging and motivational talk that will inspire your audience to apply what they learn.
