"Cissy was a guiding force in shaping me to become a better product leader who could learn more quickly with less as well as get the team to product-market fit as soon as possible. Cissy is truly a diamond in the rough. I'd recommend Cissy to any product executive at an early stage startup who's looking to maximize their impact and be supported by a coach & product expert along the way. "

"Cissy was my steadfast advocate at my job and for my career, which had rippling effects into my life and how I showed up every day. She guided me to identify and articulate my values and then use them to dissect work scenarios during our sessions and inform my real-time responses to situations on the job. She empowered me to use these values to frame my choices and hone my leadership style during our coaching engagement and beyond as well. I valued Cissy’s friendly demeanor and well-trained line of curious questioning, always pushing me to go deeper into the why and helping me come to my own conclusions. With these insights, she'd recommend and follow-up on actions to create lasting forward momentum."

"Cissy rode sidecar with me through one of the toughest periods of my professional career. She met me where I was at, which was messy, and helped me move forward with strength and positivity. I'd recommend her to others who need to take action in their lives, and who want to be intentional with their direction and approach."

"My overall work happiness increased, and I became a more effective PM leader. The overwhelming positive impact of her coaching definitely reached beyond me to my whole team. Not only did I successfully navigate through a chaotic and emotionally-charged workplace but also drove high visibility products in the meantime, receiving praise across the company. "

"Cissy is a phenomenal listener and synthesizer. No matter what I was feeling, and however I chose to describe it, she followed along without missing a beat, and offered truly revelatory reframes/summaries and follow-up questions which always served to catapult me past whatever was stumping me. We built a toolbox I'll use for years to come (probably forever). I am immensely grateful to have worked with Cissy and I can't recommend her highly enough to anyone looking to redesign their inner monologue and become less of a mystery to themselves."

"I've worked with Cissy for over a year and she's the best. As a first time founder, I've faced a number of new challenges, from product strategy to personnel decisions..and everything in between. Across all topics, Cissy has been critical thought partner to create actionable plans that I can use to move myself and our business forward. Stylistically, she has a great balance between offering new ideas for me to use in problem solving, but also asking the right questions to push myself to get to the right answer. Our time working together is often the most productive 45 minutes I spend that week. I leave each session with actionable takeaways, helpful questions to answer, and increased confidence that I can solve the challenges I'm facing."

"I would highly recommend Cissy to anyone out there feeling unhappy in their work environment to not only hone your PM skills and leadership to a noticeable next level but to also gain happiness and inner peace at work. She is the person to coach you through even the most emotionally-taxing situations and keep you out of the self-doubt spiral."

"I have loved working with Cissy - she is an incredible coach and has transformed how I think about my career and goals. Cissy is an extremely empathetic listener who excels at asking the right questions, getting to the core of the issue, and generating impactful, actionable solutions. From our time together, I've learned to better advocate for myself, take on leadership roles, and become comfortable with navigating ambiguity both in my personal and professional life. I would highly recommend Cissy to anyone looking to further their career or needing a thought partner for complex problems!" 

"Cissy is an exceptional coach. She listens deeply and provides valuable guidance to help overcome challenges. I especially appreciate her holistic approach, which has given me the tools and mindset to approach problems in a more comprehensive and nuanced way.  With her help, I was promoted to a senior PM role. I highly recommend Cissy to anyone looking to improve their skills and advance their career in product management."

"Her intent listening, being able to understand my situation, and helping me navigate through my challenges/anxiety/imposter syndrome is second to none. I'm grateful that I've had the opportunity to have her as my coach, and I highly recommend her to other PMs looking to set the tone in their first 90-days. "

"I'd recommend Cissy to any PM looking to solve imminent product challenges in their organizations and take their product career to the next level. With Cissy's help, I was able to venture into a completely new product domain and deliver impact."

"Cissy is an immensely empathetic person who leads and coaches by first establishing a mutual understanding of all the factors at play and not jumping to solutions or conclusions. Through her approach on unearthing the "why's", I was able to quickly gain confidence in managing tricky situations in an inflamed work environment." 

"Cissy has been very helpful in providing tangible advice that helped me transition to my current PM role. She was very patient in understanding my goals first and adapting the approach to what I needed (or even prompting me to realize what I need in terms of professional development)."

"I started working with Cissy under a lot of confusion. She helped me gain clarity on what I wanted - Cissy's guidance was pivotal in navigating my stressful situation. She is organized in her work and she made productive use of time during our sessions. I always walked out with actionable next steps."

"I was able to regain my lost confidence so I could land many PM offers. I'd highly recommend Cissy for PMs who are working towards accelerating their growth, navigating professional challenges, or looking to change roles."

"Cissy’s guidance has been phenomenally impactful. She supported me through a major overhaul of my company’s core value prop and positioning. Working with her exceeded all expectation. Cissy’s advice was highly consequential to the current trajectory of our business. She also skillfully guided me to come up with the answers. I would recommend Cissy to any leader, founder, or manager looking to solve hard, ambiguous, or strategic problems."

"I approached Cissy at first for the limited task of creating a product roadmap for the startup we are planning to bring results from my scientific research to consumers. She delivered on this but offered so much more than I was expecting. From product strategy to process to marketing to subscription strategy, and even to assisting with our pitch deck, her advice and hand-on efforts has been critical as we formulated our startup and fundraising plan. She has an uncanny ability to quickly but gently redirect our efforts into a highly productive direction. I would enthusiastically recommend Cissy to any founder who need a brilliant consumer product thinker and strategic planning partner."

"I talked to Cissy when I was trying to figure out when to start charging for my product. I had been providing it free of charge and I didn’t think I was ready to start charging. Cissy made me feel heard while gently pushing back on why she disagreed with my assessment. She then gave me a clear roadmap of what I needed to do in order to launch as a paid service, how to price, how market, and even how to create a backup plan in case I didn’t generate enough sales. What makes Cissy distinctive and exceptional is this incredible mix of empathy and encouragement with her ability to problem solve and provide tactical advice. I would recommend Cissy to anyone looking to try something new or working through a thorny problem whether it be analytical or interpersonal. "

"I got in touch with Cissy when I was under time pressure to deliver a recommendation to my CEO regarding our company's direction. Cissy got up to speed on my context immediately and enabled me to clarify my thinking, identify the most relevant pieces of information, and ultimately get to a recommendation that I was confident about. I appreciated that she was so literate in the business and product side of things as well as all the organizational /interpersonal /emotional implications of team changes. That's a rare combo! I'd highly recommend Cissy to anyone navigating technical or organizational challenges related to product."

"I can't believe that I made so much progress in only 5 months! When we started working together, I was at a loss for what kind of career change I wanted to pursue, but with your help and learning to trust my intuition, I was able to make a plan and start moving forward with it very quickly. Not only that, I was able to make space for thinking about other things than just my career path, which had been taking up a lot of my headspace for a long time; we worked on topics such as financial wellness, improving my social connections, and setting goals around my personal growth and health."

"Cissy is an exceptional coach. Having learned coaching myself via Co-Active Training Institute (CTI) coursework and lots of experiential training, my bar for coaching was high. Cissy rose to the challenge. Over our 6 months, Cissy exceeded what I expected out of our coaching engagement. It was the transformational coaching experience I had only before seen for leaders. If you're looking for coaching across your leadership, work, and life, I strongly recommend working with Cissy."
