  • My coaching experience with Cindy was an eye-opening experience. She helped me with many professional and personal goals by driving to the root cause of the matters. One of Cindy's coaching approaches that worked very well for me is to use thoughtful and powerful questioning. This allowed me to think deeply about the situation, look internally into myself, allowing me to implement very unique and successful solutions. Cindy helped me learn a tremendous amount about myself and my capabilities as a manager. I highly recommend Cindy as a coach.
