‘’I’ve always thought that meeting certain people can change the vision of one’s environment, or even one’s path…This could happen during short encounters, shared moments, or thanks to a talk in a business conference…Franck is one of those rare people. The values he conveys, the path he has chosen, and his commitment into the human adventure make his presence feel like a privileged moment in time. During our last conference in June 2019, I needed to lead my team into pushing their own limits in thoughts and actions. Franck took all the necessary time to prepare this conference with me. He was able to accurately scope my business stakes as well as my team’s. Franck has the required sensitivity to get in-sync with the audience and the charisma to take us all with him into his explorations. We call came out with a renewed consciousness of our potentiel & possibilities, both individually and as a group.''

‘‘I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Franck during the Ocean Film Festival World Tour, of Australia. During our interviews on stage, he was so engaging, entertaining, generous and warm. He had the audience wrapped around his little finger from the moment he started speaking! The way in which he articulated his adventure and experience was enthralling and he truly connected with each person there. His presence lingered long after the interview was over and I had people asking after him after the show, wanting to talk further - not only talk to Franck about his experiences but also to ask his advice on career. I think that speaks volumes to his character and his ability to leave a lasting impression on an audience. I don't think anyone will be soon be forgetting Franck or his incredible work.’’

‘‘I’ve been lucky to know Franck for several years and privileged to watch his photographic and diving journey. Franck has presented at two OZTek Conferences and, on both occasions, wowed the audience. He is engaging, approachable; his experiences extraordinary and backed with incredible images and videos. Having transitioned from corporate to self-employed, Franck has exceptional knowledge of both worlds, understands the challenges and can relate to audiences on a personal level. His stories resonate and hold the audience’s attention from beginning to end. I’m hoping Frank will speak at many more OZTeks in the future.’’

‘‘Franck drew our first sell-out crowd. 'Corporate guy turns Adventure Photographer' is certainly an appealing tagline that was attractive to most in the room. His quick ascension to professional status could almost suggest that anyone with half an ounce of creativity could do it if they really put their mind to it... until he spoke. Franck delivered a rich yet concise account of his story arc accompanied by stunning imagery, well told stories and a carefully constructed presentation that was tailored specifically to our audience. I could see the crowd being pulled into wanderlustful dream scenarios only to be awe-struck hearing what sacrifices had to be made, which left many second-guessing whether they really had it in them to follow their own visions. What made Franck stand out was his preparation, asking great questions in the lead up and working hard to build the most appropriate narrative. This gave me great comfort that our event was going to work. As much as he left his suit firmly behind, his corporate experience helped him deliver a polished, considered, engaging talk that left a significant impression.’’
