A full-time consultant, Bill focuses on career strategy and management, executive coaching, leadership development, and high-level outplacement. And he often serves as a sounding board for CEOs. Here is a partial list of executive coaching clients. In addition, he drives career advancement for middle and upper-level managers and executives, consultants, entrepreneurs—and top professionals, such as physicians [where he has experience with every medical specialty from Anesthesiology to Urology].

In the mid-80s Mr. Frank served three terms on the Board of Directors for The Colorado Human Resource Association.
