Business & Career Coaching
I had the pleasure of working with Cindy Nicholson as my coach for the past 3 months. I have also had previous experience with coaching from Braintree and reached out again for extended sessions.
In that time, I have seen significant growth and improvement in my confidence, leadership skills and overall professional development. Cindy has a unique ability to assess my strengths and weaknesses and provide tailored guidance and support. She is an expert in her field and has a wealth of knowledge and experience to share.
Her coaching style is supportive yet challenging, encouraging me to push beyond my comfort zone and achieve my goals. She was always available for me, and her insights and advice were invaluable. I particularly appreciated Cindy’s ability to listen actively and provide constructive feedback.
I highly recommend Cindy as an executive coach. Their coaching has had a profound impact on my professional growth, and I am confident that she will do the same for others.
