Veteran Mentor

Working with Cindy completely shattered my belief that I was already emotionally intelligent. Her insightful guidance revealed the blind spots in my self-awareness and communication skills that I had missed.
Through her expert coaching, I learned to handle stress, conflicts, and feedback with greater composure and empathy.
This eye-opening experience has not only improved my professional relationships but also positively impacted my personal life.
About me... I’ve spent over 25 years leading and coaching in real-world, high-pressure environments. Before launching my coaching practice, I held senior roles where strategy, complexity, chaos, and challenge were the norm.
I get what leadership really takes and what it can cost. I work with leaders to build and refine skills, do more with less, and reconnect to purpose in their work and lives.
My coaching combines ICF principles, emotional intelligence, DISC, and decades of practical experience.
It’s personalized and designed to help you lead with clarity, confidence, and impact.
If you’re exploring what’s next in your leadership, I’d love to hear more. No pressure, just a conversation designed to give you clarity and fresh insight.
