Cindy supported me in my professional growth several years ago as a coach. Her method and style fit well for what my personal goals were as well as my employers for desired growth trajectory. Through my time of working with her she made sure that there was balance within my professional and personal growth, while placing an emphasis on how the two correlate. We met at regularly at scheduled times for a over a year, but also encouraged impromptu and situational discussions. Our meetings were very personal and catered to my needs, not like something you could find with off the shelf or group training. The regular sessions were spent reviewing self development items from books and articles and then discussion personal situations that may have related. a fair portion of time was spent discussing personal triggers and how to manage them, with the constant reminder of perception and who the only one that could change it was. She was blunt when she needed to be, but reminded me that her role was to teach me the tools to be successful and find happiness while being able to guide others to the same. Through my time of working with Cindy I was recommended for additional responsibilities within my role at the time, and was quickly selected for a promotion when a position became available. Beyond the promotion, my time with Cindy helped me be a better communicator to change the way things were done to implementing things that people and our business were not used to. This also led to my invitation to the Executive Committee of the organization as I was seen as a change driver with proven results. I would highly recommend Cindy to anyone that is looking growth, especially the balance between professional and personal growth.
