Hello

I’m Franki Bagdade — speaker, coach, author, and unapologetic champion for people who think and feel differently. With over 25 years of experience in mental health, education, and behavior, I help individuals, families, and organizations understand what actually works for neurodiverse brains (hint: it’s not one-size-fits-all). Whether I’m on stage, in a coaching session, or writing about parenting chaos and career pivots, I keep it real — mixing professional insight with humor, empathy, and a deep belief in progress over perfection. Beyond my work with families and individuals, I advise organizational leaders on building inclusive systems, strengthening staff culture, and leading through change. My approach blends behavioral science with practical leadership strategy.
