Using a foundation of emotional intelligence, humor, storytelling and (not so subtle) language, my work provides a framework of wellbeing & personal leadership skills that inspire, energize and uplift diverse audiences.

LEADERSHIP MATTERS.
But powerful, vulnerable, courageous personal leadership matters even more.
I teach and share stories with audiences in ways that are vulnerable and insightful, informative and humorous but also powerfully persuasive. This allows individuals to truly connect to the topic for themselves.
Through education, understanding and personal responsibility, we can shift the landscape together and create more inclusive personal leadership in the workplace and beyond, especially for those who are under-recognized.
In our keynotes, facilitations & 1:1 sessions, I'll speak candidly about creating change from within while teaching a solid strategy to lead more BOLDLY, and thrive collectively. Through relatable and engaging storytelling, folks tap into their emotional intelligence and walk away with personalized approaches to confidently and consciously lead...forward.
"Cyndie is an incredible light who has that rare and perfect blend of magnetism, conviction, passion, deep wisdom and pure delight. She inspires, she rallies, and she raises people UP to bring their very best work forth. This is one woman your people need to hear from."
KEYNOTE & WORKSHOP TOPICS
**WARNING: I will use words like "intention" and "authenticity" but may also drop some F-bombs along the way.**
1. ON BEING: How to Be MoreYou —Understanding Your Voice and Genuine Vibe
We all want to show up authentically but our fears, worries and inner criticism prevent us from truly allowing ourselves to be seen. In this session, with both humanity and humor, we’ll focus on creating a deeper understanding of what makes you . . . YOU. We’ll explore mindset, thoughts and core beliefs [and all the ways that they hold us back.] I’ll offer no-nonsense insights and tactical tools to turn your authenticity, both personally and professionally, into your greatest asset. You’ll walk away from this session feeling clear, prepared and ready to show up with full confidence and authenticity.
2. ON PERSONAL ETHOS: Understanding Your Beliefs & Values to Create a More Purposeful Life
We’ll explore the process of uncovering and realigning our beliefs and values to live more authentically. In a culture that demands our constant attention, it’s easy to get caught up in roles and expectations that don’t reflect our highest selves. But by reassessing what matters most, we gain meaningful clarity and awareness that helps us make intentional choices, both personally and professionally. Gaining this clarity isn’t just insightful—it’s transformative. It empowers us to make choices that align with our values and lead to a more purposeful, impactful life.
3. ON ADVOCACY: How to Advocate & Embrace the Power of Asking. Now.
This is about owning and using your voice without apology. In this session, we’ll break down exactly how to start asking for what you need—without hesitation. Whether you’re negotiating, seeking support, or simply standing up for yourself, the power of asking is the most effective tool you already have. We’ll dive into the art of asking with confidence, overcoming fear, and showing up fully in spaces that weren’t always made for us. This session is about breaking free from outdated conditioning and learning to embrace your needs, your power, and your voice— with confidence and courage.
4. ON MINDSET: Building A Positive Mindset with A Healthy Dose of Grit & Cynicism
Building a positive mindset isn’t blind optimism or forcing yourself to “think happy thoughts.” Instead, it's about balancing hope with reality, showing up with grit when things get tough and using healthy cynicism to stay grounded and joyful. In this session, I’ll offer deep insight and practical strategies to move through challenges without sugarcoating. We’ll explore how to balance optimism with skepticism, learn the key differences between joy and happiness, reframe setbacks, and build resilience that actually lasts. This is about harnessing your inner strength, facing reality head-on, and still finding joy in life, exactly as it is.
This session is based on my best-selling books, A Year of Positive Thinking: Daily Inspiration, Wisdom and Courage and Microjoys: Finding Hope (Especially) When Life Is Not Okay.
