About Dr. Fran Harris

Energetic. Authentic. Funny. Smart. Caring. Those are just some of the recent adjectives used to describe Dr. Fran Harris. Few understand how to inspire, teach and transform people in a way that honors where they are yet challenges them to move in the direction of their wildest dreams. A recent seminar attendee had this to say about Dr. Fran: “She’s just real. Powerful but so real. I sat there wishing I could hang out with her — that’s the kind of effect Fran has on people. I watched her be completely present with every person she spoke with, and that’s rare.”

Fran knew at an early age that her calling was to touch the lives of millions of people through her spiritually-centered ministry that focuses on inpowerment, entrepreneurship and service. She’s traveled to over 30 countries, played professional basketball in Italy and Switzerland, and has endured her own share of highlights and lowlights including being on NCAA (University of Texas at Austin) and WNBA Championship (Houston Comets) teams to losing her mother at age 16 — experiences for which she is profoundly grateful. These experiences and others give Fran a powerful and unique perspective on human potential.

Television & Radio Personality
Dr. Fran currently hosts and produces “Women Who Mean Business” a high-octane business show that features some of the country’s most electrifying and successful female entrepreneurs. A former ESPN, Lifetime Television and FOX Sports announcer, she’s appeared on many national television outlets including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, CNN Headline News, The Learning Channel, FitTV, PAX TV, The Style Network, Inside Stuff, CNNfn, The Today Show Weekend Edition, Lifetime Television, The TV Guide Channel, Comedy Central and many others. Fran was also the first woman to host her own sports talk radio show in Austin, Texas in 2001. “Time Out With Fran” was the highest rated show in its time slot. She’s appeared on hundreds of radio shows as a business expert or commentator on issues such as sports, business, women in sports and spirituality.

Film & Television Producer
The 2007 production slate for Fran Harris Entertainment kicked into high gear this summer with the production of several television shows including ‘Women Who Mean Business”, “Collegepreneur”, “Outside Chances” and “The Best Little Scorehouse in Texas”. Fran has produced short form and long form television including America’s Fitness Show, which she also hosted. Her interstitial series, Raising Good Sports, aired for two years on Time Warner Cable’s News 8 Austin. A feature length documentary on legendary poet/author Nikki Giovanni is in post production.

Inspirational Speaker/Life Coach
“Fran makes you think about things you don’t want to think about but need to think about. More than anything though Fran genuinely cares and you feel this from the moment you meet her. I can honestly say that my journey has taken an accelerated turn for the “amazing” since I started working with her. If you want — and I mean truly want – to transform your life, wait for Fran to have an opening in her one-on-one practice. You’ll be glad you did.” ~ Raven S.

Her messages of possibility and spiritual enrichment have been heard in over 30 countries. Fran addresses over 100,000 individuals each year including corporations, entrepreneurs, universities, high schools, women’s events, spiritual retreats and business conferences. As a life coach she and her certified Inpowerment coaches work with individuals to help them find the power within them to pursue their life’s work and dreams.

Business Strategist
“Some of my clients prefer to remain anonymous because they don’t want people to know that a $25-billion dollar company struggles with basic issues but I tell people all the time, it’s not the ultra complex things that destroy companies or keep small companies small; it’s often the simple stuff that we overlook and somtimes take for granted that impede our success.”

Dr. Fran has consulted and trained solo entrepreneurs, emerging businesses and Fortune 100 companies. Her experience as an elite athlete and former Procter & Gamble sales executive give her unique insights into teamwork, peak performance and human potential. In 2007, combined sales for the companies she consulted with exceeded a trillion dollars. She’s called on to help bilion dollar companies become better teams. She’s called on to help Fortune 10 corporations develop more effective systems. She’s called on to coach executives from mid-management to the highest ranking officer in the company. From sales to developing high performing leaders, Dr. Fran delivers.

National Fitness Expert
Dr. Fran is a Certified Personal Trainer & Sports Nutritionist. Her fitness and wellness segment, Fit With Fran, aired on TV One, in more than 30 million homes. She’s appeared as a coach or expert on numerous national networks including The Learning Channel, FitTV and Lifetime Television.

Author
