Meet Fran O’Reilly: Head Coach and (DoPE)  Development of Potential Expert at Amaze™

Fran serves as the Head Coach and Development of Potential Expert (DoPE) at Amaze™, where his mission is simple but powerful: to help people become the most professional, capable, and assured version of themselves—no matter their field, title, or background.

With over 35 years of hands-on experience in international business and having worked closely with more than 3,500 individuals, Fran brings a rare combination of commercial wisdom, emotional intelligence, and authentic curiosity to every conversation. His track record spans C-suite leaders, sales professionals, elite athletes, and world-class musicians—all drawn to his unique ability to connect deeply and coach with both candour and compassion.

More Than a Coach—A Partner in Possibility

What makes Fran different isn’t just his experience. It’s the way he shows up. He listens without judgement. He asks the kind of questions that unlock clarity. And he believes in you—often before you fully believe in yourself.

Clients describe sessions with Fran as “grounding,” “transformative,” and “like a conversation you didn’t know you needed.” He has a way of making the complex feel simple, the pressure feel manageable, and your next step feel obvious—even when the path ahead is foggy.

Practical Wisdom Meets Human Understanding

Fran doesn’t believe in generic frameworks or one-size-fits-all advice. His coaching is shaped by decades of real-world experience—closing deals, leading teams, navigating change, and helping others break through the noise to discover what really matters. His work is as grounded as it is inspiring, helping people make clear, confident decisions in the moments that count.

And here’s the thing—Fran has walked the walk. He knows what it’s like to face uncertainty, to question your worth, to stand at a crossroads. That lived experience is part of what makes his guidance so honest and effective. He doesn’t preach. He partners.

The Real Deal—Trusted By Those at the Top

Fran has earned a quiet reputation as a trusted sounding board for those at the very top—CEOs, managing partners, founders, musicians, and sports professionals who rely on him not just for performance strategies, but for perspective.

In a world full of noise, Fran brings stillness. In a culture obsessed with quick wins, he helps clients build something that lasts. His clients don’t just perform better—they live better, lead better, and connect more fully with their own purpose.

The Future is Human—And Fran Knows How to Shape It

In every session, Fran brings the belief that the best in us is still waiting to be uncovered. Whether you’re ready to scale your business, rewrite your story, or simply get out of your own way, Fran’s approach creates the conditions for transformation.

He’ll challenge you, champion you, and keep you anchored to what really matters—you at your most powerful, present, and purposeful.

Final Thought: From Fran

A Personalized Approach to Development

I believe the best learning doesn’t just happen in a classroom—it happens through experience. That’s why I’m passionate about helping people connect real-life challenges to something I call the Development of Potential (DOP) framework. It’s not about theory for theory’s sake. It’s about making things click in a way that feels personal and meaningful.

In my work, I guide individuals and teams to uncover the strengths they already have—often the ones they didn’t realise were there. Together, we explore how those natural abilities can shape stronger leadership, better communication, and more powerful results across every corner of a business.

This approach isn’t about quick fixes or flashy buzzwords. It’s about real growth, built on self-awareness, courage, and action. My goal is simple: to help people lead with confidence, show up as their best selves, and create a lasting impact in their work and lives.

At Amaze™, we don’t just talk about potential—we develop it. And we do it in a way that’s grounded, practical, and tailored to each person’s journey.
