I highly recommend Cindy Barkanic as a coach for career growth and transition. Cindy is a great coach who brings a caring and disciplined presence to each coaching session. I find it very helpful that Cindy challenges me to slow my busy pace at the beginning of each session so that I am fully present to receive the maximum benefit from coaching. Cindy’s questions, tailored to the unique lense of my CliftonStrengths talents, help me dig deep for awareness, and my next best actions toward my goals. I appreciate revisiting my goals and commitments at the beginning of the next session to ensure that I remain accountable for my progress. I continue to enjoy the growth and clarity that I am experiencing with Cindy as my coach.

As Founder of CSB Coaching Insights, I coach clients with diverse backgrounds and skills and believe in coaching each person based on where they are and where they want to go. While CSB represents my initials, it also describes my coaching: Caring, Supportive, and Balanced. I raise my clients' awareness about how to best address development areas, reach goals, and be resilient. I help move them to new areas of self-discovery and self-awareness. And we co-create concrete steps to achieve improved performance and satisfaction and reach the career they imagine. Coaching is all about giving people the ability to move to the next level and find successful outcomes. And to celebrate those successes. As a certified Gallup Strengths Coach, I also help my clients appreciate their talents and strengths and polish them further. My top Gallup Strength is Relator, which shows up strongly in how quickly I connect with my clients and gain their trust. Rounding out my top 5 Strengths are Achiever, Responsibility, Harmony, and Learner. Show less

What did a few of my clients say about my coaching? • “Cindy has a very welcoming aura that invited me in and made for honest dialogues about my career direction and decisions. She locked in on the career roadblock (and mind-blocks too) and had the best suggestions to work around them. She gently pushed me to work through some things to be more successful. We didn’t always just talk. She utilized other tools like meditation, picture cards, and an easel board that kept the sessions interesting!” –R.B. • "Cindy is a tremendous coach. High emotional intelligence and deep capacity for empathy are just a few of the skills she brings to coaching. Cindy as the unique ability to truly appreciate what others are going through professionally and “walk a mile in their shoes.” She was also highly organized and systematic in all coaching sessions.” –D.L. • “Cindy has a really approachable demeanor and a deft touch in terms of ensuring that the conversation keep moving in a constructive way. She also introduced some creative tricks to help my brain move in a different direction. I was also particularly thankful for how she somehow managed to project validation without giving her opinion on things.” –L.G. • “Cindy knows how to push a conversation in a productive direction without directing it. She has a remarkable capacity to remember small details from earlier conversations and to connect disparate threads into an underlying theme I couldn’t have recognized on my own. She’s compassionate, generous with her time, and shares freely about her own journey in a way that builds rapport and—perhaps unintentionally—offers me with a role model for how to stay more centered, other-focused, and generous in my own life. Cindy also did a remarkable job of coaching me virtually, establishing rapport without face-to-face contact, and adapting exercises to the environment.” –A.S. Show less
