Francine Ward

Born in Atlanta and raised in poverty in New York's South Bronx; A drug addicted, alcoholic prostitute with a 1% chance of survival; Hit by a car at 26 and told she'd never walk again; A hopeless, helpless, pathetic victim of life, who bought into that message; Someone who allowed failure and disappointment to control her view of the world. TODAY, Francine Ward is a BREAKTHROUGH specialist! She knows how to break-through the obstacles that stand between us and success. She has done it for herself; she has done it for others, and now she is ready to show you how to do it for yourself. 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. She is an inspiring keynote speaker, motivational speaker, self-esteem coach, author, intellectual property attorney, marathon runner, and loving wife.
