Cynthia’s one-page bio.
I must have done something dreadful in a former life. How else is it that I’ve ended up in so many “training sessions,” “facilitated meetings,” and “team-building activities” through the years? They’ve ranged from dreadful to surreal-ly dreadful, each more horrid than the last. Unlike Dante, though, my journey through the circles of mediocre trainers seemed destined to never end.
Until I met Cynthia, that is.
I spent several days with her in a group setting – she moved skillfully from instructor to facilitator to coach, and provided me (and others in the group) with useful information and insights that still come in handy today. She can “read a room” like no one else I know, and adapts accordingly to keep the energy level high. Rather than simply ‘reciting’ the work of others, Cynthia takes the best-of-the-best, and delivers a customized solution that will transform your team or business.
She is the best – take it from one who knows! ~ Michael Kannisto, Ph.D. | Global Head of Talent Acquisition, NuVasive
