“Cindy is the perfect guide to take you from wherever you are at in your knowledge of the Gallup Strengthsfinder to well beyond where you thought you could be. I came into our first coaching session having a negative interpretation of some of my top strengths. She helped me to uncover the truth about my strengths, reveled in the uniqueness to me, and celebrated with me as they became more ingrained in my life. Today I find myself talking about strengths ALL THE TIME, and explaining to others (and myself) what lens I’m looking through at that time, unapologetically. I also have learned that with having many “superpowers “, I can switch out when I have exhausted the usefulness of one at any given time. I would highly recommend working with her! As a licensed mental health therapist, I think the work she got to in 7 sessions could take significantly longer (if ever) going the therapy route. It is one million percent life changing and I can’t thank her enough!”

“At first I was hesitant on doing coaching as I believed I had a good understanding about my strengths. After going through coaching with Cindy I realized I was completely wrong. I now feel like I have a good grasp on who I am and how I can apply my strengths not only at work, but in every day life. Working with Cindy was a true blessing. She not only uses her training, but also her strengths and life experience to customize her coaching. I one hundred percent recommend her as a coach to anyone who is looking to really deep dive into who they are and get insights on how to best operate day to day. Be prepared to learn how to thrive!”

“I’ve heard about Gallup Strengths for a couple years. I’ve taken the test twice and had team building exercises using Gallups Strengths, but nothing compares to the 7-week 1-1 coaching I had with Cindy. I've not only gained a deeper understanding of my unique strengths, but I've learned how to leverage them effectively in my personal and professional life. The insights and strategies I've gained have enriched my relationships and communication skills, ultimately leading to more meaningful connections and a stronger sense of purpose. I highly recommend Gallup strengths coaching to anyone looking to rediscover purpose in their life.”

“Cindy is the safest person you can do your strengths with. You will be encouraged, and also challenged. Enlightened but also receive revelations maybe you thought you weren’t ready for. Working with Cindy, you’re never going through your strengths alone either, she’s walking, practicing, and praying with you throughout the entire journey. Cindy sacrifices her time for you. Understanding yourself in your strengths exposes your identity. If you’ve asked questions like, “who am I really?” “What makes me so different from everyone else?” You WILL figure it out. I always compared myself, wishing I had cool strengths like ___, but the more I focused on my own strengths, the more I started to love God and myself. Get ready to laugh, cry, question, and to do some work! It’s so worth it.”

“Going into strengths finders I assumed I was already very self aware and knew myself. But after going through it and learning more than I imagined I would, it has only brought an exponential amount of self growth and excitement about God’s purpose and plans over my life. Being open to the change and challenges of this process for me was necessary for growth. Thanks Cindy”

“At times, my top strengths felt more like burdens (heavy and daunting) than skills and talents. My goal was to see how my strengths could be less self-preservation and more conservation. How can I be more action-oriented and live an abundant life without staying in my command center buried in my own policies and procedures? Cindy helped me find equilibrium, where connection and fun can take up space too. Cindy's coaching uncovered areas of ambition, positivity and competitiveness I wouldn't have even noticed. I walked away from each session uplifted and on the lookout for opportunities to lend my strengths to others. I feel more confident to share who I am and not keep what I have to offer off the table.”

“Cindy’s Gallup coaching goes beyond her enthusiasm and encouragement, and into her natural ability to counsel. Cindy was able to look at my 5 strengths with me and bring to the surface qualities that others honed in on being “negative” most of my childhood/early adolescent years. Noticing that my Individualization does not make me a nosey person. But a curious person. Genuinely wanting to know what makes another person “tick”. Confirming that it’s okay if my Empathy doesn’t allow me to openly cry. Embracing the moments I lose control of my tears, while also holding close the intimate moments with Jesus and those whom I feel safe with to cry. Helping me realize that my Activator makes me an external processor, and the biggest way I take my thoughts captive, is not in my mind. But in the words/feelings I project with trusted people. Acknowledging that it’s okay to tell my close friends and family, “I know not everything I say is what I truly believe” I am a complex person, not a complicated person. My Input makes me a collector of information, that carries with it knowledge for others in the future. Cindy taught me that my most confusing strength of all, Adaptability, has the power to bring more joy back into my season of infertility. My Adaptability reflects less of me being open to physical changes, and more of needing and craving, fun and spontaneity in my life.

Training with Cindy is not a one and done type of treat. It’s a tool I will carry with me into my workplace and family life. Allowing myself to accept that “Marisa’s World” is not a dangerous place to be. But an extraordinary place to realize how much I long for others to be seen, and how much I desperately crave those close to me; see me in return.

If you’re not doing Gallup strength training with Cindy now, stop reading this and reach out to her. You’ll feel a weight lifted off your shoulders. As she helps you realize: you’re not so bad after all.”

“Working with Cindy was an absolutely wonderful experience. I loved every minute of our time together. We laughed, we cried and talked through so much. She helped guide me through the strengths that God has blessed me with and see them in a new light. Cindy gave me a whole new perspective and pointed out things that I didn’t see. She helped me discover how cherished and valuable I am to God. I appreciated her honesty and wisdom. I highly recommend working with her! She is an amazing coach and has such a joy and beautiful heart for helping others grow.”
