Her nickname “Titanium Hipster” (she’s literally metal in her hip), comes from overcoming near-bankruptcy, multiple addictions, and two major hip surgeries. Her journey is one of radical transformation. Her trademark blend of unfiltered honesty, dark humour, and disarming empathy makes audiences lean in, laugh out loud, and leave differently

What Cindy Speaks On
Break Through Your BS to Influence Yourself
Many of us are capable, driven, and doing all the right things. And yet something's off. We're unfulfilled. Stuck. Performing competence on repeat while quietly wondering — is this it?
ā
This isn't a motivation problem. It's a truth problem.
ā
This session invites the audience to look uncomfortably inward and confront the invisible forces running the show — the internal rules, reflexes, and stories that quietly dictate behaviour, decisions, and self-worth. Drawing from her book InSide, Cindy introduces the 3 BS Cocktail traps that keep smart people shackled.
YOUR AUDIENCE LEAVES WITH:
-
Clarity on the real reasons behind their unfulfilled potential
-
The ability to identify their personal BS cocktail — the hidden patterns quietly running the show
-
Practical tools to build self-influence and shift how they lead, decide, and perform
The Leader Within: Igniting Your EQ Einstein for Influence
Most workplaces are full of capable, well-intentioned people. Yet influence is anything but equal. Some voices land. Others hesitate, self-edit, or step back — not because they lack competence, but because EQ blind spots quietly shape who gets heard, trusted, and included.
ā
This session cuts through to examine how EQ really drives influence, access, and impact at work — and why personal performance alone is never enough.
YOUR AUDIENCE LEAVES WITH:
-
The EQ factor that separates those who influence from those who don't
-
Awareness of their hidden EQ gaps — the missing mojo working against them
-
A practical shift from personal performance to real leadership presence and shared impact
The Power of Recognising YOU
Burnout rarely arrives with a bang. It creeps in quietly — first as fatigue, then cynicism, then disengagement. Until one day you're still performing, but you no longer recognise yourself.
ā
High performers are especially vulnerable. The very traits that drive success — ambition, responsibility, high standards — become the fuel for exhaustion, emotional numbness, and quiet self-betrayal. This session helps them catch it early, own it honestly, and reclaim the energy and clarity to sustain their best work.
YOUR AUDIENCE LEAVES WITH:
-
Recognition of the early warning signals of burnout before exhaustion and disengagement take over
-
Clarity on the hidden inner pressures quietly driving overwork, guilt, and self-neglect
-
A practical reset across the four critical domains of life to rebuild energy, presence, and long-term effectiveness
