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 definitely taken more action with short-term goals and have been more proactive and patient with myself

I recently had the opportunity to participate in Cindy Stradling's "Resilience Program". The program allowed me to see where I was stopped in moving my business to the next level. I was also able to see what was missing in my personal life. The session was interactive, thought provoking and fun. Cindy is an accomplished speaker, motivator and facilitator. Thanks Cindy for an amazing day!

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 new challenges. Her program is a great investment in both money and time.

Cindy was a wonderful instructor who not only provided great insight into our minds but also gave prime examples of how to apply these in every day life.

It is a great course for everyone even if you feel you have a good head on you already Cindy encourages us to reflect on our thoughts and actions. This course truly felt like therapy and I found it extremely useful in applying to every day life whether it be work or personal.

It will provide you with a tool set that you will use every day even after the course is completed. Anonymous

"Cindy you are one of a kind. After only 4 weeks of working with you you took my success to a whole different level. 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, it's hard to know when you need to pivot or if you are doing all the right things. You were my compass and my guide. Thank you."

"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. Over the 6 weeks on the program, I had time to incorporate some of her wisdom although there is so much more that will benefit me in the future.  Each one hour session was well planned, concise and enjoyable.  Using the Zoom platform made it so much easier, being able to relax at home was a bonus. Cindy and her team know their material.

I am especially grateful for this program, it's been a true blessing and I don't know how I might have managed to deal with the current situation had it not been for the weekly sessions and the lessons I am already incorporating as a result of attending." I'm sure I could say more. Fondest regards. Christine Christie

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.

I found Cindy's THRIVE program to be valuable and will use many of the strategies to stay and become even more resilient to what life throws at us.

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 can cause any disruption of our “staying on track”.  It is working within those circumstances and going through them to continue to be on track where we do not become discouraged.  This is where knowing you can wake up the next day and begin again.  Tracking daily allowed me to catch a glimpse of how flat I was really living my life.
