"I had the absolute pleasure of working with Cynthia Roney during the 18 months or so that she served as our executive coach. Our experience with Cynthia was awesome. She was very thoughtful, insightful, organized, incredibly easy to get to know and to work with, and overall just a wonderful breath of fresh air. I never saw her less than 100% committed and even when things were tough for us, she always had complete confidence that we could rise above anything – and you know what? She was right. We worked with her, listened to her, took her advice and it truly paid off. Did I mention our revenue went up by >20% over that time period?
I can say with total conviction that my experience with Cynthia was one that left me completely comfortable in recommending her services to anyone who has a business that is stuck in the mud (as we were) or just needs a kick in the pants to get going in the right direction again.
Cynthia, you rock!" -- Frank Butler, President, Syncronet

"I will never forget the first time I met Cynthia Roney. We were at the Forum for Women Entrepreneurs,
and she was chairing the meeting. Everyone was bringing up their business issues and Cynthia, within less than one minute and without missing a beat, could identify the root of the issue and coach these people (all 12 of them) in the right direction. I was amazed. I had to get to know who this brilliant woman was.
I began attending some of Cynthia’s events, and met over twenty people who had been coached by Cynthia, men and women. Some of these people had had their business for many years, others were getting started,
but all praised Cynthia and described in detail how much she helped each one of them either be more successful or, in certain cases, save their businesses.
I have also personally discussed my own business with Cynthia and found her to be incredibly insightful.
She is the only business coach I would recommend to anyone. She has an incredible amount of experience,
and a personality you can’t help but fall in love with." -- Natacha Beim, CEO & Founder, CEFA

"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." -Rob Ingraham

"Wow, Cynthia! What an amazing weekend. I just can’t thank you enough for hosting such an awesome event. It will probably take me a while to process everything I heard, learned, and felt over the past weekend but within 30 minutes of arriving at your beautiful cottage, I knew I’d made the right decision to attend. Great conversations, good wine, coffee, food —what a talented and fun group of women to play with.
I know in a few years, I’ll look back at this weekend and I’ll recognize that during 48 hours at your cottage in Sudden Valley, the seeds of some significant changes were planted. I’m looking forward to seeing what blossoms. Thanks again, for the invitation and the opportunity to be part of such a powerful weekend retreat. I’m already looking forward to the next one."

"Prior to meeting with Cynthia at Executive Passage I had a general idea of what I wanted to create in a new business model, I had the passion and enthusiasm but lacked the specifics that I needed in order to move forward. After meeting with Cynthia, in one short session I gained:
Clarity of Mind, A Specific Goal, Creation of a timeline, Plan of Action
When spending time with Cynthia Roney her passion, focus and dedication toward her client are clear.
Cynthia has mastered the art of listening and if you have the will, she has the gift of helping you to see clearly that which is already in front of you. Are you ready to move forward? Call Executive Passage and don’t be surprised when you walk out the door to….Ready, Aim – Fire!." -- Barb Whitworth

"I would like to take this opportunity to share with you the impact made in my business by spending 2 hours with Cynthia Roney, Executive and Business Coach with Executive Passage. I am a highly motivated and business savvy entrepreneur and very rarely meet someone that is able to give me suggestions for my business that I have not already implemented or thought of on my own. One of Cynthia's many strengths is her ability to see where my weaknesses are and she addressed them immediately by giving me homework tasks that will yield positive results in my business. To give you a specific example: Cynthia encouraged me to actively seek customer feedback in preparation to increase my marketing efforts, while at the same time changing by billing process. As a result, I am now implementing annual contracts for my clients, which will help me meet my goal of having an office early next year. At the same time,
I was able to ask my clients for referrals, which they are all more than happy to give me, now that I have asked!
She also encouraged me to revise my mission statement, which I did, and I now have new and exciting marketing materials to give to prospective clients that REALLY reflect the essence of my business. This is just one example of
how Cynthia gives 120% to all her clients. I look forward to every opportunity to refer her services to friends and colleagues."
