Testimonial

"Cynthia has helped me to build up my law firm. Together we have worked on all aspects of the business from small management details to strategic direction, firm structure and personnel needs. Cynthia helps me clarify my short term and long-term priorities so that from month to month I have a clear vision of my actions, rather than just muddling along or worrying that I’m missing some important action.

She is a supportive mentor, makes me accountable for my actions and generally provides a structure within which I work to achieve my goals. On a personal level having someone to talk with who has faced many of issues I am facing is very relieving and adds significantly to my quality of life. Having Cynthia as a coach and mentor has given me confidence in my future, and peace of mind in the present."
