“I’ve heard the “I do blank for blank” talk from a variety of speakers - but Cindy’s presentation was the clearest version I’ve heard. Her simple but thorough framework was well-thought out and easy for participants to follow.
Anyone who struggles to clearly (and succinctly) explain what they do and who they do it for would benefit from Cindy's talk. And even if you think you’ve got it down pat, a quick refresher will verify that your message is coming through loud and clear.”

You have no idea how much you helped me
“I've struggled with my tagline for a very long time. Then I heard Dr. Cindy speak about our power sentences. I was hesitant to ask for help, but I raised my hand. And what do you know - within a minute of a little brainstorming with her - my exciting new power sentence was born. Now, I can’t wait to share how lifestyle photography helps personal brands grow more profit.”
