"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 was fun and engaging. I walked away knowing more about myself then when I arrived. Thank you Cindy for the work you do and the difference you make."

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.

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 sooner.

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 about small but important change that over time makes a significant impact. This has been an ongoing path of discovery that I recommend to anyone who wonders if this is it or is there more to life. Thank you Cindy for your patience and support.”

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

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!

If you are in need of a dynamic and powerful keynote speaker, then look no further... Cindy Stradling is the lady for your next event! I listened to Cindy keynote at her annual Women’s Conference and also at our 35th Anniversary Toastmaster’s dinner. Both times, I was captivated by her powerful storytelling, delightful humour and skillful audience engagement style. She is an inspiring keynote speaker, trainer, and facilitator and she will leave your audience uplifted and wanting more. As a fellow speaker, I can truly say that Cindy is an absolute pleasure to work with and I could not recommend her any higher.
