    “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."
