Cindy's had four careers she never planned that led to an incredibly exciting and diverse life and learning experience. She knows what's required to successfully shift career focus, launch and build companies and start over.
She was in her '50s when she left a lucrative, global management role to follow the dream of helping people, like her, who were successful but feeling drawn toward doing something more fulfilling.
She’s a best-selling author, clinical hypnotherapist, licensed trainer of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, certified in numerous coaching programs and licensed to practice various therapies.
In her early career, Cindy fell into the role of investigative reporter, having never intended to be a reporter but born with the gift of writing well. She moved from Chicago to New York City to cover the nuclear fuel industry for McGraw-Hill and at 29 was sought out to help launch a nuclear fuel brokerage business that in less than one year forever changed the way commercial nuclear fuel products were priced.
Over 10 years later she launched her own consulting company, moving first to Johannesburg and then to London. She eventually joined a company in the energy trading industry where she became the first female manager of a price reporting division. In time Cindy created the global managing editor role overseeing the company's then largest and highest revenue generating division.
Her business acumen includes managing large, global teams, creating sales and marketing plans, working on compliance and governance documentation and helping ease the transition of new teams created by mergers and acquisitions. Throughout her career, Cindy has focused on communication as the key to creating good relationships and team dynamics.
Cindy is a best-selling author and is frequently asked to contribute to other books. She was honored to write a chapter for the book America’s Leading Ladies, whose other authors include Oprah Winfrey and Melinda Gates. She regularly writes about neuroscience and how anyone can learn to harness the power of their brain to bring about incredible change in their life and is passionate about helping people realize they can believe in a life with unlimited possibility.
Cindy is a straight-talking American who believes anyone can achieve what they want given the right tools and encouragement.
