“Cindy Marteney is the most gifted leadership coach I know. I have had the privilege of knowing her for more than 20 years—first as a young executive and more recently as the CEO of a multi-national nonprofit organization. As a young executive building my leadership skills, I found her to be an empathetic, intuitive coach in a way that almost seemed like magic. Cindy possesses a rare and deep well of wisdom about human behavior, life, and business. I believe the work I started with Cindy years ago is the reason the Board selected me as CEO in 2020. It was a difficult time of crisis (the tragic death of our previous CEO) and world-wide upheaval (the Covid Pandemic). And, we had just finished a major reorganization. Cindy’s transformational program helped our leadership team gel. It helped us see the humanity in one another and go beyond being coworkers and see ourselves a sojourners in an interdependent world. In the end, we not only survived difficult times, but also achieved the highest results in the organization’s history.”
