Thank you so much for your time spent with us at Summit! During this time, you truly modeled for us time and time again how to embody every characteristic of exemplary leadership. Thank you for coaching us to be people of impact who understand that “okay is not okay.” You taught us that while “okay is comfortable, it’s not thrilling. It’s not passion. It’s not life-changing, fulfilling, and unforgettable.

It is rare when you meet someone with incredible experience, composure, wisdom, humor and kindness, but Cicely is all of those things and more. Cicely has become a coach, mentor and friend to me. Our relationship started when she was a guest on my podcast twice and I was on hers twice. We found a fast friendship and a kinship in our desire to change the working world for the better.
I've watched Cicely instill confidence in the leaders she coaches. She built an incredible community to help people and does it all with a level head and grace. She could have 100 things going on but you'd never know it as she makes you feel like you are the only person in the room. I'd recommend Cicely to anyone looking for a coach, a great podcast, a thoughtful and excellent book or a speaker to help your team be their best.

Cicely Simpson was the keynote speaker for Lipscomb University’s Leadership Summit - a weeklong experiential learning intensive for 120+ graduating juniors and seniors. College students can be an intimidating audience, especially our Summit group that included Bio Chemistry, Engineering, Business, Accounting and Social Work majors!
As the favorite Summit speaker, Ms. Simpson delivered in spades. Her passionate and humble style quickly won over even the most skeptical academics. I highly recommend Ms. Simpson to any group that values authenticity and passion, delivered with humility, clarity, and relevancy.

Cicely Simpson has an amazing ability to take deeply complicated policy and political issues and distill them into dynamic and digestible ideas that further the conversation. During her appearance at the Brookings Institution panel on wage growth, her confidence, command of the subject and keen sense of humor made the discussion both interesting and informative for the audience.

I have known and seen Cicely to be a wonderfully accomplished woman and certainly aspirational for me. I found her to be be very empathetic in the ways she works. She has helped me to be able to pinpoint my unique place of value as opposed to being very general. She has not prescribed the path that she thinks each person should be on. Instead, she has been very authentic and tailored, helping me think through what, in fact, that is it that I actually want.
She has a gift of finding in each person the skills that they particularly have, and then helping you to see how you can put those forward to other to other people.
