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 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."

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.

It was a blast!  It truly was.  Our live shows are like studio audience events, our true reach is in the views on Facebook afterwards in our Agent group.  I am sure we will have one of the largest views for this edition, based on the trend so far!  We have had many agents reach out to us to say how much these appreciated this event and the content you shared.  Everyone is extremely satisfied and felt the strategies were spot on.  Some have asked for a copy of the presentation which I will let you decide on that request.  This went very, very well Cindy and I thank you for working with us on this event.  We are extremely pleased. Thank you very much!  Dan Hamilton, District Sales Manager
