Cynthia Offers Four Signature Workshops:
-
Be Seen, Be Heard: Reclaim Power In Your Career
It's no secret that most companies–from startups to multi-nationals–have a vertical segregation problem: lots of women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ employees at the bottom, very few at the top. Though addressing systemic and institutional inequalities requires much more than actions taken by those from marginalized communities, we still have great power as individuals.

Being The CEO Of Your Career: A Leadership Skills Workshop For Women Of Color
Gone are the days when only those with official leadership titles needed to learn how to lead in the workplace. In a fast-paced work environment, all team members must have a solid grasp on the fundamentals of leadership–so that they can take initiative, move the work forward, and be proactive in shaping company culture.
-
Negotiation 101 For The Workplace: It’s Not All About The Money
High-performing and engaged employees have one thing in common. They all know how to negotiate. And, no, negotiation isn’t always about money. We negotiate in every conversation and every interaction in the workplace.

The Art And Science Of Managing Up: What Woman Of Color Need To Know
When employees start to disengage in the workplace–and their productivity starts to drop–it’s often because they don’t have a healthy, functional relationship with their direct supervisor. Even more alarming, studies have shown that up to 57% of employees have quit their jobs because of a poor relationship with their manager. Don’t let this happen to your company.
