What Others Have To Say
Lyndsay
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"It is rare when you meet someone with incredible experience, composure, wisdom, humor and kindness, but Cicely is all of those things and more. Cicely has become a coach, mentor and friend to me. Our relationship started when she was a guest on my podcast twice and I was on hers twice. We found a fast friendship and a kinship in our desire to change the working world for the better.
I've watched Cicely instill confidence in the leaders she coaches. She built an incredible community to help people on their job search and does it all with a level head and grace. She could have 100 things going on but you'd never know it as she makes you feel like you are the only person in the room.
I'd recommend Cicely to anyone looking for a coach, a great podcast, a thoughtful and excellent book or a speaker to help your team be their best."

Her presentations combine a warmth for her audience with a personal charisma that captivates audiences with her honest and relatable stories of overcoming racial and gender barriers through principle centered decisions.
Cicely's insights into servant leadership, building trust and forging open and honest communication resonate with aspiring professionals of every age -- and show that things can be done right even in the highest levels of Washington politics and the board rooms of some of America's most successful corporations. Cicely will leave you longing for more and will empower individuals to reinvest in making things better right where they are!"
