Project Management
Are you overwhelmed?

Speaking/Workshops/Facilitation
Have a captive audience who is looking to clarify their goals and see them through? Cynthia speaks to groups of all sizes on the topics listed above and more. She designs and executes audience-specific workshops so participants leave with tools to take themselves to the next level in their personal and professional growth. Sometimes it is helpful to have an outsider run your board meeting or managerial meeting. Perhaps your group needs to discuss a special or heated topic. Or perhaps you simply want to participate in the group’s discussion instead of running it. Whatever the circumstances, Cynthia can facilitate a variety of small group meetings in person, on the phone and via the internet.
