One conference participant wrote, “Adept in his delivery, securely backed by current research, and grounded by soulful experiences, Frank turned the spotlight in our direction. He targeted each of us as change agents. He encouraged us to take chances and to step out of the shadows. He entreated us to begin and follow through with a single purpose – to make a difference in the lesson, the life, the classroom, the school. His primary goal was and is to enable, empower. His sincerity is sobering; his style South-sational; his effect long lasting and far-reaching.”
