Cyndi Radke 

COO, Executive Coach & Business Consultant

Clients often comment on Cyndi’s knack for helping them identify meaningful goals, which create more freedom, higher income, greater business results, and enhanced peace of mind. As a coach she helps her clients be more successful and happier, using the quickest, most efficient path possible while enabling them to become the truly authentic person they want to be, help them uncover their untapped potential and to support them in achieving the challenging goals they thought were impossible to attain. Her work has helped her clients navigate their career and career transitions with confidence.

Her love of people and commitment to making a difference are a source of energy and value to her clients who come to her with a variety of goals to accomplish.

Cyndi’s ideal clients are individuals and leaders wanting to:

  • Unleash their leadership potential and empower their employees to perform at a level of productivity
    that produces extraordinary results
  • Reach the next level of performance
  • Navigate their careers with confidence
  • Find fulfillment and success in all aspects of their lives

Cyndi’s focus is on empowering leaders and organizations to write their own future rather than be limited to a future that is thrust upon them by history or circumstance. She also enjoys helping leaders in various points in their career – new hires, individuals taking on challenging new assignments, leaders with management issues and other high potential managers

In working with clients, Cyndi seeks to facilitate (1) a deep understanding of what the individual wants to gain from the coaching process and how success will be measured; (2) a high level of self-awareness, including values and strengths; (3) a clear perspective of what they want to change; (4) a plan to put the change in place; and (5) practice to make it part of their enduring capabilities.

“Cyndi was my executive coach during a pivotal time in my career. I decided that I wanted to make a big career change and having her to learn from and lean on was key. Her coaching helped me to accelerate my career path. The coaching calls we had led to many "aha" moments for me, that uncovered some blind spots I was missing about myself and how they impacted my career. She also helped me to make connections between my current career skills and what I would need in a future career as well. Ultimately, it was a smart investment in my leadership development, and I would recommend her to anyone looking to take their career to the next level.”

As a coach, Mandeep brings this experience, and his fundamental belief in each person’s innate abilities, to create the non-judgmental and energized space for leaders and teams to truly get in touch with what is important to them, and rev up the energy and momentum to make it happen.  His clients take ownership of their own power. They also leverage their own observations to get deep insights into what’s holding them back and then break those habits.  A number of his clients have reported their work together has been transformative.

In addition, these leaders and teams begin to accept the world as it shows up, rather than the way they wish it would.  That accepted, they hold the courage of their convictions pragmatically, communicate their vision authentically and directly, and set about influencing the people, networks and systems of which they are part to create the enabling environments within which their organizations, projects and people succeed.
