FIFTH BRAIN LEADERSHIP COACHING

You already have everything you need to lead.

Not the polished version of you. Not the credentials or the title or the performance of competence. The real thing: the accumulated weight of every experience, relationship, memory, and hard-won knowledge you carry. That's your fifth brain, and most leaders have never been taught to stand in its power.

Here's how Frankie sees it. The first brain tracks your interior world, how you feel in any given moment. The second takes in the physical space around you. The third attends to relationships, who's in the room and what's happening between you. The fourth pulls from memory, making associations between now and everything that came before. The fifth brain is the one that synthesizes all of it. It's the meaning-maker. The muse. The place where your singular wisdom lives. A leader who knows how to access the fifth brain doesn't just react to the room. They read it, synthesize it, and know what to do next.

Most leadership development ignores it entirely. Frankie doesn't.

Many leaders spend enormous energy managing what they can't change, past failures, external limits, the gap between where they are and where they thought they'd be. What gets ignored is the wealth of material those exact experiences created. The narrative that only you can live is not a detour from your leadership. It is your leadership. When you learn to lead yourself first, from that specific, irreplaceable accumulation of who you are, everything else follows.

In Fifth Brain Leadership coaching, we work with who you are, held in radiant warmth and genuine curiosity. We'll find the throughlines of your history, the moments where your power showed up, sometimes gloriously, sometimes in the wreckage, and learn to read what your fifth brain has been trying to tell you all along. What you'll leave with is not a list of action items. It's a clearer, more tender relationship with the leader you actually are, and a living map for becoming the one you already know yourself to be capable of becoming.

COACHING TESTIMONIALS

  • "Frankie taught me that everyone has a story to tell; she helped me see that writing can be my comfort when everything around me may feel unsafe. Beyond creative writing, she supported me in seeing what I could not see in myself. In all our conversations over ten years, I leave every one of them with a new lesson, a new tool to make the best decision for me. But, here is the brilliance of Frankie Rollins: she does not take an ounce of credit. Instead, she reminds me of how, all along, I possessed the tools."

    –DIANA JARAMILLO

  • ​"I was intimidated to write, although I had a lot to say about my special topic of interest. Frankie helped me break my concepts down into manageable chunks so that I wasn't completely overwhelmed. She also gave me great positive feedback that helped me become more confident - and most importantly, she was able to give me necessary critical feedback in a way I could hear and integrate."

    –CYANE T.

  • "Frankie Rollins is perhaps the most fiercely creative person I've ever met. Insistent, powerful, clear-visioned, focused (while still being a synthetic, integrative, possibility-fueled thinker! not the kind of reductionist/minimalist/eliminationist focus that I'm so used to), both for her own creativity and for other people's creativity."

    –HANNAH ENSOR

  • "She is not like some stern teacher who pretends to know everything (although she pretty much does). Rather, she is a mentor, a guide, someone who knows our struggles well, having experienced them herself. We are all together on this adventure of creative writing, Frankie Rollins included. ​The difference is that she has been here before. She knows the terrain, she recognizes the landmarks, and she's already climbed many of the mountains."

    –LEE FIKE

  • “I took several classes with Frankie at our local community college and fell in love with her teaching style, so I trailed her into the next phase of her career as a writing coach. Frankie is empathetic, relatable, and adept at digging out the “why” behind every author’s vision. She balances practicality and goal-setting with a gleeful passion for the written word and creative expression. I think of her as my book-baby doula—she labored right alongside me through the arduous yet illuminating journey of writing a novel."

    –SHANNON COWELL

  • "What makes Frankie the best writing teacher I’ve ever had is her intelligence, her sensitivity, and her generosity. It’s her intelligence in instantly pinpointing my strengths and weaknesses as a writer, her sensitivity in giving constructive feedback and discussing even the most vulnerable issues. I always wrote, but it wasn’t until I started working with her that I became a writer."

    –VICTOR VALDIVIA

  • “Her superpowers go beyond creative writing into creative offerings of support and techniques to push you towards your writing goals. She is a medium for your creative energies, but she never takes away from the individuality of one's work. Frankie intertwines equity and social prosperity into her approaches. She works as a gardener of visionaries, tending and encouraging you to strive towards your sun, whatever that may be. During the times I worked under Frankie's guidance, she offered me insights, attitude adjustments, and a cultivation of confidence that helped me to become not only a better writer, but truly a kinder and more grounded person.”

    –EMMA IVY BRACK

  • “I don’t know how other people drink in feedback but I feel like Frankie handed me so many doors to open inside of myself that keep showing me more and what’s next.”

    ‍ ‍ -MICHELLE MARKS

  • "Because of the Fifth Brain Collective. My brain is different somehow. It has changed shape and speeds and is working in ways it never did before. I can only contribute it to the skills Frankie is sharing. The wisdom she has learned and the ease at which she gets me to look at the same things differently or look at new things that have been right in front of me."

    -MARK PETTIS

  • "I’m so blown away by the magic of the fifth brain. It’s really the best thing in my life! Such a great group of people, and great writers and thinkers. And so many opportunities to write!! And to share work and talk about writing. I feel lucky to be in such great company. I love it all, and everyone, so much. Thank you for bringing it to life, Frankie, you genius!”
