What people are saying

Ali Layng | Head of Creative Operations, Google Brand Studio

“Cyndi tremendously helped our leadership group during an unsteady transition moment. Her unique ability to bring introspective techniques enabled each leader on our team to become more open and trusting.

Coaching with her has evolved the way we show up, making us stronger communicators, better collaborators, and ultimately, more effective leaders.” 

  • “Our work with Cyndi was helpful because it reformed us as a leadership team with new, more productive behaviors. Through a combination of individual coaching and thoughtfully designed facilitation at our team offsite - the depth of conversation deepened and her process invited us to both adapt to uncertainty — together, and grow as individuals.”

John Boiler | Co-Founder, Creative Co-Chair, 72andSunny

“I've had the privilege of knowing and working with Cyndi Yee as a partner and co-conspirator in the building of 72andSunny almost since its origin. Working with Cyndi earlier in our careers as a Brand Strategist, and then later as Coach and Mentor to the entire leadership group of 72andSunny, I count as a high point in my career and in the growth of the company.”

  • “Cyndi came into our company in 2007 as we were growing at a rate of over 100% per year and was able to help people level up to the challenges that come with that. And through both her individual leadership coaching along with collective team coaching and offsite planning, we were able to expand both as individuals and as a thriving collaborative organization.

    Her process and techniques together with her insight and deep listening revealed opportunities otherwise unrecognized. Her ability to build a sense of collective acceptance and purpose accelerated our leaders' and company successes. She also helped guide us off the rocks now and then, too.

    Cyndi was instrumental in supporting the growth and happiness of our company and culture and comes with my deepest and most sincere recommendation. Absolutely.”

Lisa Burlingham | Director, Marketing
LA Philharmonic

“I was looking for a Coach who would help me step up my leadership approach - and what I gained with Cyndi was that and so much more. She gave me the tools and insights to help me sharpen my inner game and develop the presence of mind to handle challenging situations with grace.”

  • “The results not only benefited me but also those around me. Cyndi offers a mix of practical business strategy with deep insights, conscious compassion and a dash of tough love.”

John Long | Founder, Owner
Buddha Jones

“Cyndi truly understands the power and promise of great leadership. She embodies so many of those qualities herself. But her ability to get to the heart of what’s blocking an individual or a team from performing at their highest level is for me her most unique gift.”

  • “Over the past eight years, I’ve become a better leader; our senior leadership is a stronger group; and our company is more inspired to believe in the possibilities of personal and team success. And Cyndi has had a lot to do with all of that.

    The most important thing I can say is that she has inspired me to believe in the best version of myself and to help me share those qualities openly and freely. And she’s done the same for countless others in our organization.

    She’s helped me see that the key to prosperity in business--as in life--is our humanity. And been instrumental in our success and indispensable in our hearts. I wholeheartedly recommend her.”

Jennie Wilkes Ehrlich | Senior Director, Creative Marketing - Films, Netflix

“Working with Cyndi has been transformative. It has enabled me to show up differently in every way, suddenly understanding my own power, building my confidence and letting go of the irrational thoughts and behaviors that just got in the way and stopped me from moving forward. 

Within six months of working with her I was promoted and received tons of glowing feedback from my peers, my team and my superiors on the difference in my leadership and approach to my work. “

  • “When I met Cyndi, I was truly at a crossroads in my career. I had continued to rise but only so far having found myself always running into the same challenges time after time. Knew I needed an outside perspective and guidance on how to navigate this next chapter of my professional life, but what I didn’t realize was that in working with Cyndi, I was really getting a lesson in how to navigate my actual life.

    She has made me a better Jennie — helped me see the world differently, my emotions differently and my life differently. Our work together has gotten to the root cause of my own challenges through simple and effective tools that elevated my understanding of how to effectively lead.

    She helped me to stop coming from a place of emotion, reaction and insecurity — things that had no doubt created hurdles for me in all aspects of my life— and taught me instead to remove the noise, recognize reality and lead from a place of clear, clean confidence.

    I am so grateful for Cyndi’s guidance and most importantly, the life lessons that she has taught and continues to teach me.”

Hayley Goggin & Heather Smith Harvey | Exec Producers , Wieden+Kennedy

“Our work with Cyndi has been transformative.  She is equal parts coach, therapist, dance partner, guru, and friend. The EPs started group coaching with her just when we needed it most - it helped us navigate a bunch of organizational change and supported us in being better managers through the pandemic.”

  • “Cyndi reminded us that the power of thought has the ability to make or break the situation at hand. She shared with us a tool that if we are having an unhelpful, negative thought, we can simply "swipe left" on that thought until another, more useful, one comes to mind.

    She creates a safe space for you to unleash your authentic self while reminding you that your authentic self is how you became successful in the first place. With Cyndi we feel safe to speak our truth, to truly be vulnerable, and to open to deeper connections with our coworkers.”

Greg Rothberg | Director, Campus Recreation, UC Irvine

“Cyndi’s work with us took the form of a multi-day, all hands team workshop that was truly engaging, inspiring, and informative – and that could not have been more spot on in helping my team.”

  • “Our collaboration with Cyndi came as the department was addressing major organizational change and a transition in senior leadership. The experience and growth only happened because of Cyndi's amazing contributions.”

Kelly Schoeffel | Former Exec Strategy Dir, Partner, 72andSunny

“Whenever our leadership team needs an injection of possibility, growth and belief in our own powers, we summon the unicorn that is Cyndi. She delivers literally without exception, and in a few short hours reminds us why we do what we do, and inspires us to be the best possible versions of ourselves.”

  • “She is a master empath and stellar communicator, who uses play and personal storytelling to disarm and connect with people. Cyndi doesn't bring off-the-shelf coaching solutions, but can quickly discern what a group of people is collectively craving and designs thoughtful, delightful workshops to deliver it. Her successful past life in marketing strategy shines through!”
