>> My name is Cindy Cornell and I'm a leadership and executive coach, and basically what that means is that I help my clients to figure out how to be more productive and probably more important than getting results you're looking for in their business or in their lives. I help them to actually break through barriers so that they lead happier lives. I ask the questions, so the very cool thing about what I do is I don't have to have all the answers. For my entire academic career in the first couple of decades when I spent in business and accounting and finance and operations, it was all about me knowing and me having the answers. In coaching, it's exactly the opposite. My clients are the experts in their lives or in their businesses and I basically show up seeing their potential and seeing that they can actually, you know, achieve more than they've achieved to this point and asking curious questions to help them to move from that point where they are today to that point where they want to be; a little bit like an investigator, so my clients have the answers, I simply have to actually, you know, help them to slow down; we're fanatically busy in our lives so to get people to pause and become more aware of their thoughts, become more aware of kind of what might be getting in the way and also, for a lot of people to become clear with what they want to create or how they want to be, so it's really kind of that pregmat vision and helping them to articulate that in a really clear way so that they can begin to really proactively invite that into their lives.
