It was an absolute pleasure to consult with Audacious Inner Works (AIW) Institute in regard to building a sound strategy for my vision forward. AIW has a gentle yet firm way of extracting your heartfelt strengths and limitations to ensure there is a 360- degree lens to your scope with space to reimagine expansively. I am thankful for the opportunity to brainstorm with a Coach who approaches this essential stage of planning with an intuitive and highly professional business acumen. AIW has my hi
Glenda is dynamic! She asks the right questions to extract information to set you up on your path. Through her excellent coaching, she empowers the real you and as a result, I now stand taller, more confident, more aware, and more daring. Qualities that I possessed, but were hidden, are now powerfully alive. Glenda skillfully taps into the many levels of you to build a whole new you. I now ask questions to myself to remind me to keep my intentions clear and in alignment with my goals. I am powe
Glenda will help you to wade through the murkiness of your hopes, fears, and hurts to create a viable plan for living the life that you desire. She is a well-trained and compassionate listener. Her vast experience as an educator and facilitator makes her incredibly proficient at helping individuals to articulate their goals and to create intuitive road maps for manifesting them. Finally, I must add that Glenda is truly a gifted communicator. She is as adept at making statistical research data m
I have known Glenda Francis since college, well over 25 years. She is and has always been a gifted, thoughtful, authentic, and amazing teacher and woman. Her life’s mission has always been to improve the lives of others. Back then, she worked with school kids; today, she works with adults as a Life Coach. Glenda is serious about what she commits herself to and passionate about helping others evolve and improve their lives. On a personal level, Glenda has pushed me in looking at my patterns, s
Working with Audacious Inner Works Institute, Glenda, and her team has been phenomenal. Glenda is driven, positive, and heartwarming! Together, we covered pre-planning, post- session debriefs, and the quality and content of the professional development that was to be delivered. A key goal that I wanted AIW to accomplish was for my staff to be a cohesive and understanding group that was there for each other and most importantly, for the children we serve. The professional development had a posit
Over the past 20 years, I have collaborated with Glenda in a variety of roles. I coached her as a classroom teacher in the New York City public schools, as a teacher leader who invited other educators into her classroom, and as a mathematics coach/consultant. In each of these roles, Glenda was willing to continually learn and grow and her dedication to self- improvement was inspiring to those around her. She is a person of great passion and some of these passions were a driving force in her lear

Glenda is a wonderful example of human love and positivity. She embodies care and concern for others in a manner that motivates as well as educates and empowers healing. Attending her Virtual Sip encouraged me to connect with myself and others in ways that I had never experienced. Positively worth my time and energy!

I have never met a woman like Glenda, she really is such an empathetic, intelligent, and influential person. When she invited me to the Virtual Power Sip, I knew that I was going to get much more out of it than I expected. She brought together a group of intelligent women who shared their stories of being resilient in difficult times when trying to reach life goals and growing into their authentic self. I learned so much about how to overcome fear and how to grow into a confident woman.

For years I’ve always wanted to be part of a group of women who are taking the time to grow and empower themselves. With Coach Glenda’s Sip and Conversation, I got that and soo much more! This event provided the safe space to be yourself, discuss your strengths and areas of growth, and even greater things I’ve never taken the time to think about. I left out feeling elevated and ready to make adjustments in my life for the better. Coach Glenda is an amazing listener and highly motivational
