I liked when we went into the breakout groups the most since we were able to discuss what we learned and how to apply what we learned. I learned different things like phases of resilience, the importance of taking action, the 6 human needs, mindfulness vs mindlessness and the relationship between goal-setting and resilience. I've Continue Reading

"I have attended Cindy Stradling's workshops at the Scarborough Women's Center in the past and she has offered one on Resilience before but the new Program, Thrive, was so much more intensive and inclusive.

You helped me reset my mind set and now I'm getting explosive results in my efforts. Thank you for you supportive style and your encouraging words. When you are the boss, Continue Reading

Cindy and I ‘met’ when she sent a note out to her community on behalf of one of her colleagues (kindly forwarded to me by a shared connection) looking for coach/facilitators. Cindy walks her talk! Upon seeing my response, she looked up my Linked In profile, invited me to connect and have a call to Continue Reading

Coaching with Cindy Stradling has been a lifesaver, and a life changer. Working with her has given me structure, accountability and better follow through. I am meeting deadlines, finishing projects, and learning to plan! Instead of jumping from crisis to crisis, I feel like I’m accomplishing important life tasks. I wish I had found Cindy Continue Reading

For the past 3 months I have consciously committed to be present, be still and be silent and observe my surroundings and energies of people I’m interacting with to better manage my reactions to others. A work in progress – Thanks Cindy for the follow up.

"Cindy is an expert on the subject of resilience. She not only teaches it, she has demonstrated it by how she lives her own life. In one day she was able to get everyone attending Thrive: The Keys to Lasting Resilience to clearly see how they deal with change in simple and profound ways. It Continue Reading

Very grateful to have been connected with you Cindy - so proud of all the changes I have made so far with your guidance, intuition and insane amount of knowledge. Wouldn't have done this without you! Thank you!

3 Months after attending THRIVE I have been fairly consistent with my daily ritual to recharge, although I had to tweak it a bit from my initial intention. I have been more conscious of feelings and reminding myself that I am in control.

Cindy is a truly dynamic and engaging facilitator and trainer who brings her whole life’s experience to each moment.

This was my first workshop and didn’t know what to expect. I left the THRIVE workshop with an action plan to help me become more resilient. I also learned the importance of teamwork and having a strong support system.

Even though I’ve spent the greater part of my life reading and studying the principles that Cindy teaches in her Thrive program, I was totally re-energized by the many reminders and great lessons she shared. Cindy’s a dynamic and passionate speaker who will inspire participants to overcome life’s inevitable obstacles, while looking forward to embracing Continue Reading

The Thrive: The Keys to Lasting Resilience Program that I took on Saturday was time well spent. I learned something about myself that I will use for rest of my life. Thank You.

In my first 8 weeks of working with Cindy I achieved more major business goals than in the previous 8 months. (And lots of minor ones too. Which affect my business-bottom-line less, but satisfy my soul.) It doesn’t hurt that Cindy has one of the most giving natures of anyone on the planet. She takes Continue Reading

For me the biggest benefit I’m getting from coaching is that it keeps me accountable and has kept me on track even when in the past I would have given up.

Thank you, Cindy, it was wonderful working with you as my professional coach! Your dynamic presence and a personalized approach was exactly what I needed to bring about powerful and lasting changes to my personal and professional life. Look forward to more solution-focused coaching with you!

In experiencing the coaching routine, I have a more in-depth understanding of the word accomplishments. For me, working on a daily basis to recognize, has been more beneficial. It allows for easier change and shifting with hope of it becoming a more natural occurrence without having to track it. Understood how our “circumstances” of life Continue Reading

As a result of my participation in Cindy’s coaching program I have re-examined my career goals. Thanks to this introspective approach and coaching from Cindy, I have been able to determine where my real passion lies and am in the process of getting into action to turn this desire into reality. The step-by-step approach brings Continue Reading

My job has always required many hours a day, and at least six days a week. Even with all of that effort we sometimes find that we have not advanced, and just barely kept up. Cindy’s program has helped me to keep focused on my goals, and just the thought of her bi-weekly coaching call to discuss my results, gives me Continue Reading

You have coached me on many occasions where I have felt stuck in different aspects of my life.
