“Suspicious. That was my first real mood check when I was introduced to this work. But after more than a decade of diving into this leadership journey, everything changed: not only how I lead but also how I show up as a colleague, as a husband, as a dad, and as a human being.

Cindy’s depth, connection, and mastery of her craft are unmatched. She’s one of the most influential teachers I’ve ever worked with, weaving rich insights from the Enneagram about human psychology with a deeply contemplative approach to difficult conversations and challenging circumstances.

At one point, Cindy brought this surprising practice to a sales team retreat—meditating with koans, which are ancient teaching stories. We were asked to explore where the story illuminated something in our current life and share what we discovered together. It was a profoundly bonding experience.

After enduring the isolation of the pandemic, I chose to reunite my sales team with another koan meditation circle, which provided exactly the meaningful reconnection we needed.

Personally, this work has given me deeper confidence in my own skin, in working with difficult realities, and leading authentically. Mood check today? Forever enlightened.”
