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 taking screenshots of the slides. I highly would recommend the Courage Map workshop to any organisation and event organiser.
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.
