I have had the privilege of working with Frank for the past 9 years. He has a no nonsense, straightforward approach to teaching and coaching and tops it off with humor!

Frank Simmons’ very existence is mentor-like. I’ve never known Frank to not be concerned with the care and education of others. His ability to have fun being himself, and laugh at his mistakes while making that a teaching moment is ‘first class’ coaching! -Yolanda E., Professional Speaker with Monster Government Solutions
As I watched Frank operate with his gift of speaking and training, I gathered the overall notion and lessons of being patient with what is being presented. I learned to allow time for thoughts to grab the audience and to control tempo, tone, and space with your movements as well as vocal adjustments. Finally, I learned the effect of natural comedy that is more of an improvised style to fit the audience and the power it has. I became a better speaker by watching and learning from a better speaker. -Tim W., Pastor
