Proud to be Part of Each Client’s Journey

I’ve been fortunate to work with clients from across the country and around the world. The sincere feedback I receive confirms that good things lie ahead for each and every one of them.

My wholehearted wish is that each of us view life as if looking through the lens of our inner kaleidoscope —where every twist and turn reveals new possibilities in Life. Love. and Leadership.

Praise for The Inner Self Experience

“My relationship with Cindy is characterized by transformation. She brought out the best in me. She is direct, nurturing, and logical. I have taken quantum leaps in the areas of confidence, courage, and clarity. Under her dynamic influence, I’m a different person, but more myself than ever. She’s in the business of creating winners.”

“Cindy, I know you and I we were both a little concerned about how effective the sessions would be due to the language barrier and cultural differences. But it didn’t take long for me to know that such concerns proved to be unfounded. You are a wonderfully engaging coach. Your friendly and informal but analytic approach helped me to be fully engaged, which intrigued my curiosity every week..”
―Strategic Accounts Manager

“The coaching, assessments, and direction provided by Cindy not only gave me a clear understanding of my management style, but also spelled out how I needed to modify my behavior in order to take my performance to the next level. Interestingly enough, the changes that I made in myself not only caused my performance to improve but also resulted in my employees functioning at a higher level.”
―CEO, Building Industry

“After I lost my wife, I never imagined that the best years of my life could still be ahead of me. In her powerful-but-compassionate style, Cindy explained that before I could ‘move on’, I needed to ‘move through’ the heartbreak. After lots of unsuccessful online dating experiences, she helped me realize the difference. I’m happier and more at peace with the past and myself than I could have imagined.”
―Retired Investor

“If you choose to work with Cindy, buckle UP! She’s fiercely committed to your success, and has the courage, skill, and wisdom to tell you not what you want to hear, but what you NEED to hear. I refer to her as my ‘badass coach’, and her process has been life-changing for me in both my personal and professional lives.”
―Regional Sales Director

“Cindy is one of those rare people with a natural talent for combining knowledge, business sense, and heart. During our time together, she never ceased to amaze me with her insight and encouragement. Now I’m more confident putting what I learned about leadership to work in all aspects of my life.”
―North American Sales Leader

“Cindy provided an abundance of tools for my toolbox. The biggest gift was to first connect to my heart, then my head — allowing the gut to decide the course of action. Thank you, for catapulting me into me: the one and only myself!”
―Sales Associate

“Cindy’s assessments and coaching have been invaluable to me personally and professionally. Her ability to drill down on what matters is amazing. After several powerful sessions, I gained a deeper self-awareness. Cindy has truly inspired me, challenged me, and sharpened my leadership effectiveness, all of which has helped me strike a good balance at work and at home”
―Commercial Real Estate Developer

“Thank you, Cindy, for taking me on a self-discovery journey. The effort and preparation I put into each session was always matched by your preparation and willingness to go deeper and challenge me to break through some hard wired areas. Though the program was deep and at times challenging, the ROI has been evident. Additionally, my family benefited greatly from the changes I’ve made in becoming a more self-aware husband and father.”
―Global Channel Manager

“I came to Cindy from a position of pain and dissatisfaction with life as I was going through a divorce. I wasn’t sure of what I wanted; I only knew what I didn’t want. Cindy has become my treasured guide – urging, prodding, questioning, encouraging, rejoicing – and with her guidance, I am rediscovering the power of my own true self.”
―College Administrator

“Cindy helped me to understand how my brain is wired, what energizes me, and what creates negative stress. She encouraged me to push the boundaries of my routine and to break negative vicious circles. Working with her has been like finding a compass in a forest or a user manual for a device I was never able to fully understand.”
―Regional Channel Manager

“Working with Cindy has been a priceless gift for my personal and professional development that I’m truly grateful for. What I learned about myself gives me the freedom to shift my perspective on who I am and how I can bring value at work and within the teams I work with. It flipped a switch freeing me to be myself and see the strength in my altruistic personality that I considered to be a weakness in a business environment.”
―Sales Associate

“I am so grateful for your support in my goal to get this degree, not just by writing a recommendation letter, but by being there for me still, long after finishing your program. Your work has such a long-lasting impact, and for me it was life changing!  If and when I ever get the chance to espouse the work you do and the value of working with someone like you, I always take the opportunity. I don’t know how exactly it will come back to you, but I hope it does some way, somehow.”
―Graduate Student

“Cindy’s amazing talent helped me to identify my leadership style as I built my confidence, discovered my uniqueness, and shaped my strengths. All of this has elevated me to a higher version of myself not only at work but in my parenting. In every session, I summarized the insights she shared into an album called, Cindy Said. Here’s one of them: ‘Entrepreneur means when you jump off the cliff, you’re confident that you’ll firmly touch the ground… or rebound to fly higher!’ That’s me!”
-Regional Sales Leader

“Cindy, I feel truly blessed that you have invested the time you have in me and will be forever grateful. It is really nice to speak with someone who understands the struggles and knows how to encourage you. You truly are a gift from God.”
