Paula De Franco, MBA, PhD

Spanish Coaching Program
Systems / Accountability Coach

Paula is an accountability and mindset business Psychologist.  Her doctoral research conceptualized the O Model, an interactive tool for mapping behavior, understanding self, and identifying unhealthy behavior patterns.  Armed with an MBA and PhD, and over two decades of hands-on business experience Paula’s coaching focuses on identifying the roadblocks to success while facilitating personal and professional growth. 

As a coach, client sessions are relational, interactive, and geared towards maximum results in the here and now, and with the awareness that in business “one size does not fit all”.   A client session includes an action list with defined goals, and objectives.  Accountability coaching is directly tied to the client’s “why” and uses the O framework to identify potential blind spots that may hinder ongoing professional and personal growth.  

An innovative and bilingual critical thinker, Paula combines her expertise in authentic leadership, strategic business development and operational experience to improve upon or develop processes designed to enhance optimal performance for organizations within the legal services, financial services, education, healthcare, and wellness.  

Paula splits her time between Wilmington, Delaware and Coconut Grove, Florida.  In her spare time Paula enjoys travelling to far away destinations.  She enjoys gardening, meditating, dancing, and spending time with her partner, children, and framily (family and friends).
