Francis is incredibly proud of her heritage. She’s a first generation Cuban American, born and raised in Miami. She takes strength from her parents, who always focused on the possibilities, not the challenges of their new life in America. The possibilities for Francis brought her much success in the corporate world. She shares with Jeanne why service is at the root of her accomplishments; how feedback is a gift; why it’s important to realize you don’t have all the answers and be open to collaboration; and the power three words can have over how you manage your day.
