Unlock Your Potential
Though I’ve trained extensively in coaching – earning certifications in Compression Planning Training, in Riva Focus Groups, in Life Coaching from the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC), and more – my ability to work with individuals and businesses to generate bountiful outcomes is deeply rooted in my real-world work growing, advising, and owning a variety of businesses and leading and guiding teams of people to success.

A Holistic Approach
Personal and professional intertwine with each other. If either is missing from the coaching experience, success won’t be sustainable; the unfixed element will undermine the other. As a result, I’m not an executive coach in a business-exclusive sense nor a more “touchy-feely” type of life coach. I combine the two through an approach that is equal parts compassionate and pragmatic to create what you need in your business and/or in your life.

A Standout Success Rate
From one-on-one to organization-wide work, I’ve coached people and businesses of all kinds through almost every kind of challenge, hardship, transition, or ambition you can imagine. I’ve seen it all – and I’ve helped my clients not only conquer the hill in front of them but to surmount the unknown mountain beyond. What starts with a modest goal – getting unstuck, taking the first step on a new path forward – often yields outsized outcomes that carry a person farther than they ever dreamed.

Testimonials
Jim Kales , CEO, Aspire
Cindy came to Aspire when I started as CEO of the organization. We were very early in the process of navigating a bold new vision for Aspire. At that time we needed to redefine the mission, vision and goals of the organization. Through the use of Compression Planning and Storyboard exercises we were able to collaboratively chart a future course for Aspire. The impact of these strategic planning sessions on Aspire’s growth and long-term sustainability have been dramatic, and I highly recommend Cindy and Stark Insights.
Corey Jenkins , Founder, CEO Jayinex Inc.
Before I met Cindy, I would say that I had drive, ambition and even guidance on my side. But, Cindy's expertise granted me clarity and laser-like focus. For me, Cindy's no nonsense approach to life coaching is tough/in your face, with the warmth of a Mother's love all at the same time. My life and career have reached new heights and are continually climbing due to Cindy's advocacy, and for that I am forever grateful.
Dawn Siebenhaar , Sales, Membership & Marketing Director
I have had the pleasure to call Cindy Stark my mentor for nearly 2 decades. Cindy possesses a powerful combination of business acumen and family/relationships experience which give her an edge with coaching. Life does not fit in perfect boxes, and even successful executives have families and competing obligations that do not need to take a back seat to a successful career. Cindy helped me find balance.
