"For me, Dobbs Franks is the most extraordinary human being that I have ever met. He enjoys the simplest of moments while achieving his goals with ease and consistency. His coaching has helped me uncover the very best aspects of myself, as well as the ability to influence the world around me. It is through learning Dobbs’s philosophy that I have come to see what I am truly capable of."

"A coaching session with Dobbs is more than mentoring or teaching.  It’s an experience to be savoured, the pearls of wisdom coming firstly in a cascade and thereafter continuing to announce themselves subtly over the months and years following."

Paul Blackburn,

Founder of Beyond Success

"I know Dobbs Franks not as a successful musician and conductor. I know Dobbs Franks as a man whose strength is borne of his willingness to be vulnerable. I know Dobbs Franks as a man whose wisdom is not borne of his age but rather his ability to listen. I know Dobbs Franks as a man who finds himself not in his ego but rather his ability to embrace his imperfections. I know Dobbs Franks because his self-honesty has allowed me to understand and appreciate him. As his coach for some four years I would often walk away from our sessions having a deeper understanding of who he is and remarkably, who I am. I attribute this to Dobbs uncanny ability to create a safe place where people can feel vulnerable yet safe. An environment that promotes honesty without judgement. Dobbs' ability to create such an environment is an essential ingredient if you're seeking a musical mentor or coach because you might just discover that the hinderance to your professional growth may not be in the way your fingers play your music, but in the way the music plays in your head. Aspiring musicians, I commend to you Dobbs Franks."
