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 the added push to make them a reality.

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.

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.

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 more genuine satisfaction in my achievements than anyone I’ve ever met.

I really appreciate the expert and attentive counseling Cindy gives. And the wealth of practical tips she has to offer. But the excitement and happiness she shows as I leap hurdles and move forward? I’m not sure how to express what that has meant to me. Or how much it motivates me. And how much it makes me believe that I can, and will, accomplish things I’d never believed I could do.  Marcia Ross, Author; presenter; workshop leader

Working with Cindy is an absolute pleasure.  She is warm, kind, supportive, and always sounds genuinely happy to be on the call with me – it’s such a fabulous to start the morning on the days I work with Cindy!  She’s also very good at pointing out limiting language and the moments I get in my own way which is great because she catches things I would never see on my own.  I’ve grown a lot since we started working together, and I’ve been able to push through fears and take on challenges I wouldn’t have been able to overcome on my own.  I’m now building a website I believe in, have taken huge strides in getting over my fear of talking to strangers on the phone, and am now in greater alignment with my authentic self than I could have imagined a few months ago.  And the good news is that it’s only getting better from here.

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.
