"It is now time for the feminine principles of co-operation, nurturing and compassion to become embedded into a society that must turn away from greed, war and corruption towards community and a peaceful, sustainable future for all. This is not a gender issue but a call for global transformation. Welcome to the revolution".
Lynne Franks, business woman, author, broadcaster and speaker, described by the world's media as a lifestyle guru and visionary, is an acclaimed international spokesperson and advisor on the changes in today's and tomorrow's world - both for the individual as well as society at large.
Her consulting experience with both the public and private sectors; her global work with women's enterprise, and her recognised gift as a 'futurist' have given her considerable insight into the way forward for modern society.
She is the founder of SEED - Sustainable Enterprise and Empowerment Dynamics - a provider of women's learning and coaching programmes on economic empowerment, sustainable business practices and community leadership, as well as a global on and off-line women's support network.
Lynne has been a founder judge and spokesperson for the last three years for the high profile Enterprising Britain Awards, organised by the Government Department of Business, Enterprise and Regularity Reform (DBRR).
She is pictured here during her visit to the North East, with Sue Snowdon, JP, who is the dynamic team leader for the Bishop Auckland Town Centre Forum, and who has literally moved mountains to put her town back on the map as an exciting and enterprising visitors' destination. Lynne also met many of the district's other movers and shakers including Neil Stonehouse, Leader of the Wear Valley District Council, also in the pic.
Lynne working with her SEED Affirmation Cards at her workshop with staff and inmates at HM Eastwood Park Women's Prison in October. "Working with women offenders who had completed the SEED Women Into Enterprise Programme and had created a new kind of vision for their lives was one of my most satisfying experiences."
