During a recent news broadcast from KRON Channel 4 Francine Ward said,
“When you don’t feel good about yourself you make wrong choices in terms of relationships, the jobs you settle for, you make wrong choices in every turn. When you make wrong choices it breeds that sense of being a victim. To make a change it is all about keeping agreements with yourself, making different choices, and walking through the fear. What is the one little thing you can do today to help you feel better about yourself?” Francine has been helping people who feel the mountain is too big to move to overcome that feeling by showing them how to take small steps that lead to big results.

What Others Say About Francine
Book Passage Event
“Francine Ward has been crisscrossing the nation delivering her message. And it seems to be something the public is anxious to hear. When she did a reading at Book Passage in Corte Madera a couple of months ago, about 250 people showed up.”
"It was an amazing event," said Paula Herman, Events Coordinator for Book Passage. "It's highly unusual for that many people to come see a first-time author. Not many more people showed up when Deepak Chopra came here. And Mariel Hemingway had about the same amount of people come for her reading." After that event, "Esteemable Acts" debuted at No. 8 on the Chronicle's best seller list for nonfiction.

52 Weeks of Esteemable Acts
52 Weeks of Esteemable Acts: A Guide to Right Living by Francine Ward, “Francine Ward is an extraordinary coach. She urges you to be courageous, and she shows you how on each page.” --Stephanie Brown, Ph.D Author, A Place Called Self.
52 Weeks of Esteemable Acts: A Guide to Right Living by Francine Ward - “Fifty-two Weeks has been a challenging and rewarding journaling and lifework experience. I suggest this book to the brave of heart because the "work" set forth, for me, has cut to the very heart of some of my deep set behaviors, ideas, opinions, fears and feelings. But I have done the work and (so far) have reaped great rewards.” –Satisfied Customer, Amazon.com

Suggested Media Questions
- You talk about having the courage to be extraordinary--in what ways do you see yourself as extraordinary?
- You've been heard to say that sometimes painful experiences in life can be our best teachers. Explain.
- You say that "Self esteem comes from DOING Esteemable Acts." What do you mean? Why do you emphasize the "DOING" aspect? That seems to go against conventional thinking that you are either born with self esteem or acquire it from something outside of you, e.g., a parent, teacher, job, spouse, kids, money, degrees...
- You say that self-esteem is not about saying, "I love me." Many experts would disagree with you, including Dr. Phil and Oprah. What are your thoughts?
- You often talk about your age publicly. When most women over 50 admitedly will NEVER admit their age, you brag about it. What's that about? You seem to be proud to be 50 something. Why?
- You said something in an interview, once, that I thought was very interesting--that there is a causal connection between fear and low self esteem. Explain.
- How do you deal with fear?
- There are many public accounts of your service to others. Tell us a few of the service commitments you enjoy the most?
- When do you have time to do probono legal work and other volunteer efforts?
- Is there any final message you'd like to leave with our audience?
