"Frank’s approach to supporting an executive with their career transition is unique and refreshing. He helps the individual "interview" the prospective employer to ensure the opportunity and the company is an appropriate fit. I appreciate Frank’s counsel and continue to remain connected with him even after securing my opportunity."

“I thought I knew people in Kansas City – Frank took that to a whole new level. He is the ultimate connector bringing executives together for insightful conversations, sharing of knowledge and experiences, helping each other solve problems, and making other meaningful connections. Not only is connecting his superpower, but he also listens to understand to find the right fit for his clients. Thanks to Frank, I found my perfect fit, and you can too.”

Jennifer Bergman
CFO, PAi

“Frank is the best connector and only career coach you need - and you do need one.  Frank doesn't just connect anyone or everyone - he connects high-quality people that he meets with other high-quality people he has met.  It is all about mutual benefit and it works!  I thought I was connected in Kansas City but Frank's relationships opened my eyes up to a group of professionals that want to help and have the businesses, experiences, and connections to help.  I met Frank before I knew I needed him.  He built me up, helped me understand the value I contribute, and his genuine interest in my success helped motivate me.  Within 6 months of meeting Frank, I landed a role in the C-suite within a whole new industry.  Frank coached me through the entire process with a fresh and progressive view of how the art of selling oneself with candor and honesty should work.  I look forward to becoming one of Frank's valued connections so I can pay it forward.”

Libby Allman
COO, Worcester Investments

“Frank knows people. In a world where more and more often EQ whips IQ, Frank thrives. I have known him for 11 years and come away impressed from every interaction we have had. He is a simple, clear communicator who doesn’t waste your (or his) time. Rather, he develops and nurtures deep relationships in order to be sure to add value to every situation or engagement or coaching assignment. His ultimate goal is to do everything he can to make a positive difference for others…every day. Quite often, Frank is successful.”

"My journey with FES and Frank Bonura took me beyond the expectations I had for my next "job". I came to believe in a true "opportunity" and how I could create value for others through the Economy of One process. This program, and most importantly Frank’s guidance, are a true blessing in my life. This is transformational - trust this process."

Jennifer Scher
Sale Representative, Herc Rentals

"In today’s “check-the-box” recruiting world, Frank is one of those rare leaders who understand that the most important contributors toward organizational and individual success are not listed on a resume or a company job description, but are discovered and achieved through alignment of purpose, alignment of core values, and alignment in creating and sustaining a culture.  Frank helps candidates and clients understand that leadership is not reflected simply in a list of accomplishments but is demonstrated in having built an environment that encourages the entire team to succeed.  He helps bridge client needs and candidate needs by establishing and maintaining strong, lasting relationships, and in so doing develops insights that help bring like-minded leaders together to create opportunities for mutual growth.  Frank will help your team win!"

"You’ve worked hard your entire career, you have made the sacrifices, and have done everything to the best of your ability, and all of a sudden there you are standing alone in the middle of the street, without a job or any prospects. Or like many of Frank’s clients, you are simply ready for that big move up. Countless headhunters take your calls, promising to do everything they can to help you, but most are only interested in their commissions. And then you meet Frank Bonura. Frank is like a breath of fresh air. He is not only one of the most positive people you will ever meet, and one of the most difficult to keep up with, but you will soon learn he means what he says. You also learn that he truly is interested in you, that he cares about you, and that when he says he is available 24/7, he means it! If fact, you begin to wonder if/when the guy sleeps, when you try to sneak him an e-mail at or after 11:00 PM, and he immediately responds to you. Honest, sincere, genuine, ethical, and professional are just a few of Frank’s attributes. But best of all, you not only get the very best in the Executive Search and Career Management business, but you also get a terrific friend! And that, “my friend”, you can take to the bank!!!"

"Frank Bonura is both special and unique.  Special in that he already has a home in heaven for the incredible love and support given to his mother-in-law during her final years on our planet.  Unique in his service to executives in their transition from a past professional adventure to a new professional opportunity.  Frank is a true friend and a dedicated professional."

Steve Johns

"Frank has taught me more about the power of cultivating and managing relationships than I learned in almost 20 years operating at the highest echelons of the professional services consulting world. Frank’s philosophy is simple; invest in every relationship and ensure that it is MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL for both parties. This helps to transform a random contact into an individual who is your champion, a table pounder, someone who will remember you, and continually reach out to maintain and grow the relationship. Above all else, Frank has an innate desire to help others. Anyone fortunate enough to work with Frank will quickly understand how passionate and genuine he is as a person."

"The Economy of One is a straightforward approach that moves past the transactional side of “networking” and focuses on helping you identify, build, and maintain meaningful professional relationships.  It has been a great personal benefit to me and others I have shared it with”.

Todd Navrat

"Frank has a passion and talent for helping people in transition to gain a better understanding of what their unique value proposition is and how to use this insight to drive short and long-term career success and satisfaction. He challenges you to think beyond the confining stereotypes of employer expectations, to attain self-realization that leads to enhanced career fulfillment and differentiate you from the crowd.  Armed with this information, he then helps you to design a strategy and tactics to land high-value conversations with the right influencers, companies, and decision-makers. If you’re considering a move and looking for an edge, I’d strongly encourage you to give Frank a call."

"I worked with Frank for about nine months while in a career transition. Frank was professional, dedicated, well organized, and extremely supportive throughout my transition. His focus was exactly what I needed to lead me through a process I hadn't faced since my first job search when I graduated from college. My highest praise for Frank is that his is the first number I'll call if I ever face another career transition."
