“I would recommend Cindy to others because she is extremely knowledgeable about the tools and techniques needed to optimize your career search.\u00a0 She helps you to clearly define your strengths and the ways to market those to potential employers.\u00a0 Above all, Cindy becomes a member of your team to help you successfully define and meet your goals.” ~ Greg Weaver, PMP<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cCindy Key\u2019s Boot Camp has given me the tools and the confidence to proactively and much more effectively go after what I want in a job, and to find the places that need my skills rather than wait for those employers to post a position to fill their need. \u00a0No other coaching or networking experience that I have had has been as helpful in so short a time.<\/p>\n

For the first time I feel like I am now in full control of my job search, targeting companies I want to work for, finding ways to research them, and ultimately learning how to contact those who have the power to create a position and hire me to solve the problems that I enjoy addressing.\u00a0 Thank you, Cindy!\u201d ~ Mike Chase<\/p>\n

“When I first began my search I was out of focus, frustrated and wasting a lot of time.\u00a0 When I met Cindy Key and began to trust her advice and guidance, I started to focus and my frustration began to go way.\u00a0 The more I worked with Cindy the more I came to realize my potential.\u201d ~Julio A. Pinheiro, Banking<\/p>\n

“I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for Cindy Key and her on-going efforts to prepare me for a \u201cnew\u201d way of thinking about job hunting.\u00a0 Cindy\u2019s professionalism, outstanding coaching skills, and genuine interest in my personal job-hunting experience help instill confidence that I can find the \u201cright\u201d job on my terms.” ~ Mark E. Wheeler,\u00a0 IT Professional<\/p>\n

\u201cI was a lot more Unfocused on my career search. Bootcamp really helped me to KNOW what I want and focus on that \u2013 NOT just what I know I can do. Will I be happy with just anything? NO It revitalized me as well and has taught me how to research companies, etc. It has also taught me how to \u2018brand\u2019 myself and try to make an impression on people so they remember me.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

All I can say is that I found this to be extremely beneficial. It truly helped me to understand that I have the ability to \u2018unlock\u2019 my potential and get it out there for the benefit of the rest of the world! It gave me the confidence to propel forward, and I really did learn so much about myself along the way \u2013 and I keep learning!<\/p>\n

I also have to say that Cindy is one of the best coaches I have ever encountered. She has a very full schedule, but is absolutely sincere and always lets us know she is available to us personally for coaching and this is because she TRULY wants to help us with what we need \u2013 not because she wants a fat paycheck\u2026\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ~ Cheryl Santarelli Account Management\/Client Relationship Management, MBA<\/p>\n

“I would highly recommend my consultant, Cindy Key.\u00a0 Cindy coached and counseled me effectively by drawing out my strengths and relevant background as we worked through the process. She assisted me in not limiting my options and I landed a great opportunity as a result of this line of thinking.\u00a0\u00a0 I learned the importance of quantifying results through the SARs techniques.\u00a0 I learned to develop and maintain a contacts list and use this effectively.\u00a0 — The services were excellent.”\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ Troy Schulz-Behrend, Retail Operations<\/p>\n

\u201cCindy, thank you for opening our minds each week and pushing us all to reach our job search potential\u2026\u201d\u00a0~ Jim Terry<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore I started Boot Camp with you \u2026\u00a0 I was totally unfocused and rather pessimistic about taking part in another form of networking\u00a0 – I was feeling very overwhelmed by the thought but Larry Ragland helped me understand the importance of keeping an open mind.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The biggest plus from the boot camp was I received an offer for a position with a company that fit most of the parameters I had set forth for myself.\u00a0 It is a great opportunity for a new beginning and I will take all the valuable tips and suggestions and priceless information that Cindy shared with all of us to make a positive impact on my new company.\u00a0\u00a0 Thank you so much \u2013 it was a great experience.\u201d\u00a0 ~ Regina Tassone<\/p>\n

\u201cCindy, Thanks again for all your help to get me focused on the things right in front of me.\u00a0 I am juggling a lot of balls in the air \u2026 working on those plans\u2026<\/p>\n

You a great inspiration to me as I need someone who doesn\u2019t sugarcoat things or tells you what you want to hear, but gets right to the point!!\u201d ~ Charlie<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore I started Boot Camp with you my job search had no focus or plan and I felt like I was on my own.\u00a0 Some days the job search feels like being in a fight.\u00a0\u00a0 Having a coach like Cindy Key in your corner will make you stand out from the competition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you want to save time and reduce the frustrating false starts in the search for your next position start working with Cindy Key today.\u201d ~ WC Potter<\/p>\n

\u201cIn large measure, because of Cindy\u2019s coaching I am more focused, have more self-confidence, and have more direction, professionally and personally.<\/p>\n

When Cindy and I began working together, I had been jobless for four months. I thought my job search had been focused and had direction. However, it had become increasingly clear that it was neither; more importantly, I was not making any progress, and I was not sure where to put my efforts or how to re-energize myself. At the same time, I had some personal issues that also served to dampen my resolve. As a result, my self-confidence was beginning to wane.<\/p>\n

With Cindy\u2019s assistance and some hard work I have done much to redirect my energies and rebuild my confidence. Through her coaching, I identified specific steps and activities that led to a more organized and productive job search. Moreover, she has helped me clarify my values; this has been a huge benefit in identifying potentially suitable positions. More significantly, it has served as a reminder and helps keep me focused on what is important in my life.\u201d ~\u00a0 Rick Elias<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks-Cindy for help through this long and challenging process. \u00a0Best Regards\u201d\u00a0 ~ Rick Guarente<\/p>\n

“Cindy is a highly effective coach and very perceptive business partner. Her ability to quickly and accurately determine skills, competencies as well as areas for development is amazing. More importantly for me she was able to develop a focused project plan along with a detailed coaching contract for us to follow. This provided the high level of structure I required to keep me on track and to ensure a successful outcome from our coaching sessions. Working with Cindy was a real pleasure and with her guidance and support I achieve results which actually exceeded my established goals. She has earned my highest level of recommendation.” ~\u00a0 Traci Lander<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for allowing me to see what I’m really good at and sending me down that path.\u00a0 For you are correct…HR role is not me.\u00a0\u00a0 Kudos to you \u2026\u00a0 Sincere regards\u201d ~ Deborrah<\/p>\n

\u201cCindy is a great coach and friend whom I\u2019ve recommended to any newly unemployed contacts along my journey.\u00a0 This has helped me focus my search, although she gave me this assignment in a very condensed version during one of our first meetings (& I didn\u2019t realize it until this boot camp, when I came across the paper that I jotted down her questions & my answers months earlier on Sal\u2019s deck over a coke & pizza!!) \u2026\u2026and that \u201cideal job\u201d that I described is where I landed part time in August, & is quite busy this March & hopefully onward.\u201d ~ Sue Roy<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore I started Boot Camp with you \u2026\u00a0\u00a0 I was working on a job search daily through all means (job boards, newspapers, classes, networking weekly (often daily), but without a good marketing concept.\u00a0 \u2026 I believe that Cindy Key does work miracles (even if some have not found jobs yet) and that she truly unlocks lots of human potential every day.\u00a0\u00a0 \u2013 S J Madruga<\/p>\n

\u201cI was floundering, you helped me focus, but I am still unsure of what I am telling myself. What I think I am saying is that I don\u2019t want to do what I was doing any more. What came out is that I want to help and interact with people. That I want a job that ends at the end of the day. I don\u2019t want to take it home with me. None of us know how long we have to live, but whatever time I have left I want to enjoy. I realize I haven\u2019t enjoyed my life in a long time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cindy is someone that gives all of herself to those of us trying to find the job we want and the job we deserve. She will always get back to you and bends over backwards to accommodate your needs and time constraints. Cindy keeps her eye on the goal and sometimes has to push you a bit to keep focused and moving forward.\u00a0\u00a0 You know you are a winner when you have Cindy on your team.\u201d ~ Pat Chalfin<\/p>\n

“Hi Cindy! Just a quick thanks once again for the coach emails – they are wonderful and really get me thinking\/going in the right direction!!”\u00a0\u00a0~ Cheryl Santarelli, Client Relationship Management\/Customer Retention, MBA<\/p>\n

\u201cThe true bottom line for any company is financial results. Each of the participant\u2019s districts in the Management Development Process class has increased the bottom line over and above their previous results. The results began to improve even as early as the second class and have continued in the months since. As for myself, someone once told me if I took this class and put into practice what I learned, it would change my life. I am a believer.\u201d – James Couperthwaite, Region VP<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore I started Boot Camp with you, I was not very disciplined in my job search process, and spent too much time reading and responding to job postings rather than contacting possible employers.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Some days I just got busy with things to do around the house, and didn\u2019t do job search work at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And although I had a good idea of the type of job I wanted, I too often got distracted and responded to postings that were no longer the best fit for me \u2013 even though I\u2019d done the work before.\u00a0 In some areas I just was no longer as competitive as those who have been doing those roles more recently, but was still hopeful that I would have a chance at that job.\u00a0 In short, my search was more hopeful than effective.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCindy Key’s services (Key Concepts) have been extremely helpful and profitable to my business and to me, personally.\u00a0 She is a consummate professional with a solid understanding of the challenges confronting small business owners and entrepreneurs.\u00a0 More importantly, she guided me and my business through an exceptionally well orchestrated planning and development process that has had a direct and measurably positive impact on our bottom line.\u00a0 Revenues have increased by more than 25%; new business development has continued to grow as we have implemented action plans developed with Cindy’s assistance.\u00a0 We now have clearly defined, written objectives for our business and a realistic roadmap for success to assist us in achieving them.\u201d – Scott K. Lyons, Business Owner<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to say that I\u2019ve seen a number of \u201ctraining\u201d events over the years. The outcomes always seemed to be the same \u2013 go to the meetings, have some round table discussion and then back to work. I simply was not pleased with the long-term impact, the ROI on the dollars invested in facilities, refreshments and salaries. Employees just didn\u2019t seem to retain and use the information.<\/p>\n

This process is different. I could see impact in a short period of time. Further, the improvements lasted well beyond the last meeting. Employees\u2019 habits and attitudes have changed for the better.\u00a0 The improved results and productivity more than justified the investment.\u201d – Mark Andrew, VP<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
