Leaders must be able to:
- Build a great management team
- Develop a winning strategy
- Create a flexible, responsive organization
- Communicate relentlessly, build on people’s desire to make a positive difference, and inspire employees to achieve greatness—command and control is obsolete, leaders get the best out of their people by empowering them
- Live with integrity and lead by example.

Client Feedback
"As Vice President of Corporate Safety & Human Resources for Eagle West Cranes, I had the pleasure of working directly with
Cynthia during our annual strategic planning process. Cynthia offered an approach that allowed the senior management team
to get to the heart of the issues. Following a 360 feedback process, Cynthia conducted 1 on 1 interviews and provided focused Executive Coaching to members of our leadership team in advance of our two day strategic planning session. This allowed all participants to come prepared to communicate and participate fully in the strategic planning process with a full awareness of
their personal strengths, weakness and opportunities for improvement. This created a renewed confidence to participate fully. Cynthia's facilitation of the Strategic Planning session demonstrated her expertise, knowledge, skills and abilities resulting in a
highly productive strategic planning session.Cynthia works with integrity, honesty and consistency; as a result, she quickly
establishes trust. People are the single most important differentiator between strategic success and business failure.
Cynthia is a leader in her industry and I encourage any organization to seek out her expertise.."
