Cindy worked magic with us! She pushed us to clarify and simplify our values and ensure that there was consistency across all of our work around those values. We initially engaged her to strengthen our communications but ended up with much stronger vision and strategy.
Liz Sak, Executive Director of Cricket Island Foundation
I have engaged Cynthia in many of the organizations I’ve had the chance to serve. She has an incredible capacity to sythinsize complex research data, elicit substantive information through engaging interviews, and uncover the most compelling aspects of programs while revealing areas needing a reboot. up. Her writing is unparalleled and the individual attention she gives to her projects is remarkable. She is the finest consultant I’ve ever engaged.
