… Any one of these things a person would aspire to do in a lifetime. Francine has done them all, and then some before her 59th birthday.
She's been where few people have been and lived to tell the story!
- Born in Atlanta and raised in poverty in New York's South Bronx;
- Addicted to drugs and alcohol until 26 years old, she was deemed a life failure with a 1% chance of survival;
- Hit by a car at 26 and told she'd never walk again;
- Lived as a hopeless, helpless, pathetic victim of life--WHO bought into that message;
- Allowed fear, failure, and disappointment to control her view of the world.
Today, hers is a story of resilience, endurance, and a faith that works under all conditions.
Francine Ward proves that success in life is not just about having confidence or having the right pedigree; it’s about making right choices and being willing to overcome the inevitable obstacles that are bound to get in your way.
Today Francine enjoys a successful career as a lawyer, speaker, author, and coach-consultant.
