Testimonials

Consulting

"Cindy has been invaluable in her work with our agency.  She has provided excellent guidance in employee recognition, person centered planning, organizational planning, leadership development and Board Development.  We are pleased with her application of this guidance to leaders and teams in our organization.   She not only has the experience but continually supplies research and resources to reinforce sound practice through her consultation.   Perhaps the most impressive attribute that I see in this work is the application of these valued principles in follow-up and evaluation as they are applied to the field, in this case the people we support and our employees."

John Green CEO Pacesetters, Inc Algood, Tennessee

 "The learning experiences Cindy has provided our staff have been state of the art, upbeat, engaging and long lasting. Cindy offers consultation services that are person centered, reflect contemporary management approaches and result in organizational change. I would heartily endorse Cindy to other CEOs who are seeking positive approaches to organizational change.  Her understanding and practice of the principles of positive psychology are outstanding. Whether it’s QMRP, supervisory or middle management training, Cindy rates with the best in terms of knowledge and impact."

"Expanding the individuals supported by GCS over the past two years by a third, is due primarily to the enhanced quality of our services and program offerings which have been greatly elevated through Cindy’s efforts.  I believe it is Cindy’s instinctive ability to connect and communicate so openly and effectively with both the staff and participants that has accelerated the gains we’ve made and has positioned the agency to receive excellent reviews from state and accreditation surveys."
