YOUR GUIDE

Dom Francks

Dom is a wilderness guide and leadership coach.

​He’s led wilderness immersions in remote locations including Patagonia and Alaska, and has held leadership roles at climate-tech companies, serving as Chief of Staff at Terramera and Head of Product at Solara Energy. In a past life, he was also Captain of the Stanford University Golf Team.

His work is inspired by the Animas Valley Institute, where he trained in the Yearlong Soulcraft Immersion. He’s also completed coach training with the Conscious Leadership Group.

Dom lives for movement in the mountains - he’s skied on the tallest peaks of the lower 48, completed a solo traverse of the Southern Sierra High Route, and ridden dogsleds across the Boundary Waters.

Dom is on a mission to foster regenerative leadership, blending personal vitality and ecological harmony. He empowers individuals to live and lead in ways that enhance their own aliveness and presence and create a deep and lasting relationship with the more-than-human world.

TESTIMONIALS

"Dom is one of a rare breed of man that is as skilled at exploring external landscapes as he is internal landscapes. His emotional awareness and attunement helped me to find insight into parts of my own nature and soul I hadn't yet traversed, and to reconnect to my deeper purpose."

ARIAN MAHINI
Lead AI Negotiation Advisor, Rora

"When I started working with Dom, I was feeling burned out and overwhelmed, and was seeking more embodied presence and balance. Through our work, I reconnected with my sense of self, my sense of strength, and my spirit. He helped me to show up more fully for myself and to lead more authentically and compassionately. Dom guided me back to connection with wildness and the natural world, something I was sorely missing. I recommend working with Dom to anyone who has a profound sense of mission, and wants to honor their love of the wild.”

PROGRAM STRUCTURE

Leadership Coaching

The VIVIFY Program weaves together three styles of distinct coaching: group coaching, individual coaching, and peer coaching. The group sessions build community and introduce the curriculum. The individual sessions support you exactly where you’re at, and help you apply the VIVIFY curriculum to your life.

Wilderness Immersion

The 8-day wilderness immersion is here to give you a hard reboot. You’ll spend 3 months preparing the ground for this expedition, and you’re going to go deep. You’ll spend 6 days in the High Sierra, the premier mountains in the world for off-trail backpacking.

VIVIFY Community

You’ll be a part of a vibrant, committed community of other leaders. You’ll support each other, celebrate with each other, and travel as a pack through the High Sierra.
The peer coaching sessions are where you begin embodying Regenerative Leadership, supporting your teammates through guided sessions.

Integration

VIVIFY is structured to enable you to stabilize as a regenerative leader. You’ll be supported through the end of the program, with complementary integration coaching sessions and an ongoing Community Council.

HIGH SIERRA WILDERNESS QUEST

A profound journey into your inner wildness.

Retreat for Clarity

Every healthy culture through history has known that to show up most fully in our communities and our daily lives, we must periodically retreat to wild places. Within VIVIFY, we give you that opportunity, within a container to guide you towards deeper insights, and integrate them back into your life.

Belonging In Nature

You’ll explore primarily off-trail in the premier mountains in the world to discover on foot. Many people know about Yosemite, but the Sierra holds many equally incredible secrets. You’ll quest deep into the range, away from roads, into a wilderness area the size of Switzerland.

Rewild Your Body

Our route will take you in and out of stunning, rarely visited alpine basins. You’ll summit a 14,000’ peak, and spend time on the John Muir Trail. You’ll see marmots, drink from mountain streams, and experience the miracle of a hot drink while enjoying an alpine sunrise.

Are you ready for a transformative adventure?

"Dom has helped me crystallize personal values and live in accordance with them. This has had massive impacts for me personally and professionally — bringing more energy into running my business, deepening the quality of my relationships, and finding more commitment to my decisions.”

JAMIE MCCROSKERY
CEO, Bluebird Climate

"I wanted to build more intentionality into my day-to-day, clarify and align with my long term vision, and connect more deeply with the natural world. Working with Dom was extremely supportive for all of the above. His creative coaching helped me reframe my challenges and find novel solutions."
