Cindy’s Coaching Approach & Philosophy

Cindy is passionate about people and organizational development. She is a firm believer that when individuals and companies are aware of themselves and their environment, and act in alignment with their values, purpose, vision, strengths and goals, the outcomes will be beyond positive and productive.

 

Cindy believes in a ‘(w)holistic coaching approach’, meaning that she does not make a division between one’s personal and professional self, his or her life and development. Cindy likes to inspire people to bring their whole self into the picture, i.e. to bring all their strengths, potential and passions for the sake of tapping into their natural creativeness, resourcefulness and wholeness of each person to allow for more fulfilment, balance, impact, success and growth.
