Untangle Your Next Step

Who this is for

You’re a fit if you aren’t sure how to make your next big decision, feel overcommitted, or are doubting yourself.

• A decision is looming and you keep second-guessing yourself
• You’re stuck between “say yes,” “push back,” or “let it go”
• You’re overthinking because the cost of getting it wrong feels high
• You need to act without betraying yourself or damaging your reputation

This often shows up after reorgs, layoffs, promotions, or prolonged scope creep.

I recently reached out to Cindy for help with a communication challenge, and the experience was genuinely transformative. She guided me through a set of questions with a level of insight and care that felt both structured and deeply personal. As she asked each question, she listened closely and reflected back patterns I hadn’t noticed—times when I was taking on too much responsibility, moments where I could have stepped back, and places where I could have advocated for myself more clearly.

One of the most powerful things Cindy helped me see was how often I was assuming responsibility for other people’s feelings. She gently pointed out where that was happening and offered ways to reframe my thinking. The biggest breakthrough for me was learning how to express my own experience without blame and without projecting emotions onto the other person. Simple, grounded phrasing like, “I may have picked the wrong time for this dialogue” made a world of difference. Even knowing that I could close the conversation without lingering guilt was incredibly freeing.

Working with Cindy left me feeling clearer, more confident, and better equipped for complex interactions. I would absolutely work with her again—whether for communication challenges or any situation where thoughtful, skilled guidance could help me grow.

What happens in the session

In one focused hour, we’ll work on one real situation and answer:

• What’s really going on here – including the dynamics influencing your choices?
• What options do you really have – including ones you haven’t been seeing?
• What is the next step you can commit to now, without overwhelm?
• What do you say or do first?

You’ll leave knowing what to do next and why you trust that choice.

What you leave with

You’ll leave with:

• A clear articulation of the decision you’re actually making
• 2–3 viable options (not false binaries)
• One next step you feel grounded taking
• Clear language for any conversation involved

Optional continued support is available for bigger situations.

Who it’s NOT for

This is not the right fit if:

• You need legal advice/representation
• You want a broad career plan (this stays focused on one loop)

Where this fits in my work

This breakthrough session is often used as the entry point into my Leadership Navigation System — my method for navigating complex workplace dynamics without losing yourself.

Most people use it in one of three ways:

• One-and-done decision session: you implement a single step and have new insights and tools to help with the next one.
• Monthly navigation (ongoing): if the problem is bigger than one loop, we use a one-month cycle to tackle the next blocker and build momentum.
• Deep support (3-6 months): for broad career navigation, identity-based stress in leadership, or repeated systemic friction — we build sustained strategy and capacity over time.

No pressure: We’ll decide what makes sense after you’ve implemented the first plan. This work stands on its own.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this work for conflicts within my management chain?
  Yes! We’ll design scripts + decision rules for multiple outcomes (yes, no, delay, deflection) so you can set boundaries without unnecessary escalation.
• What if I don’t know what boundary to set?
  Naming what to protect can be hard on your own. We’ll triage what matters, what drops, and what’s negotiable.
• Is this therapy?
  No. It’s thought partnership for workplace strategy + language + implementation support.
• What if I want ongoing support?
  You can continue after the session, but there’s no pressure. This stands alone.
