About Defining Moments and Frances Hesselbein
The world is hungry for inspiring stories about people who may not be well known, who have defied the odds and accomplished so much to benefit all of us, especially women and minorities. Leaders who have fought for equality, who were uncompromising in their dedication to serving all of us, who stood strong under pressure, and as such paved the way for those of us who choose to follow them.

Frances Hesselbein started living her purpose of respect for all people at 8 years old. She “died with her boots on” still living her purpose in 2022 at 107 years old.

Through Defining Moments, Frances’s life and leadership story is accessible to all people, to young people many of whom do not have positive role models and to people around the world who would love to hear about this young girl who through her love and service became one of the world’s most powerful, respected, and loved leaders of the 20th and 21st Centuries, at Girl Scouts and in the non-profit arena, and in corporate America and the US Military, where she was not the norm but in fact, where she was the anomaly who had the norm at her fingertips.

Defining Moments about the life and leadership of quiet revolutionary Frances Hesselbein could come at no better time than now.

Alan Mulally, former CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Boeing Information, Defense and Space Systems, and Ford Motor Company
