Cindy Jackson
Cindy Jackson coaches executives to increase their leadership capacity and impact. With compassion and deep listening skills, she gets to the heart of what matters most and guides leaders into alignment with their own values. By leveraging her capacity as a thought-partner and catalyst for change, Cindy’s clients are able to step into their courage to become more effective leaders who know how to mitigate burnout and navigate complex situations.
Cindy’s 25 years as a senior executive at a multinational corporation have informed her approach to leadership consulting and coaching. Her history as a top-level decision maker gives her an intimate understanding of the expectations and challenges encountered by senior leaders. As a result of this competency, Cindy is highly skilled at supporting organizational strategy as well as leadership development.
Leveraging the pLink Leadership® framework, Cindy works to raise awareness and capacity for her clients so that they feel proud of their leadership impact. Her ability to seek out the core of unique leadership challenges has made her a sought-after coach, speaker, and master facilitator. Cindy can bring an engagement program, a vision, a coaching session — and a room — to life.
Cindy has earned several internationally recognized coaching designations. She holds a Professional Certified Coach designation from the International Coaching Federation and is a Certified Professional Coactive Coach. Additionally, she is a Certified Daring Way™ and Dare to Lead™ Facilitator. She is qualified to deliver Gallup’s Strengths-Based Leadership Assessment and the VIA Pro: Character Strengths assessment. She is a certified practitioner in the Leadership Circle Profile™ 360 assessment tool as well as the Leadership Circle System of leadership development.
Cindy’s lifelong love of learning has resulted in keen research skills and a hunger for great books. Those who know her delight over Cindy’s sense of fashion and fairness — not to mention, she’s got a great sense of humor. Cooking is one of her many passions, and her spice cabinet is bursting with flavors from around the globe. A true animal lover, Cindy would happily house a llama or a parrot—but for now, she and her husband keep it simple with three dogs and a cat at home in Minneapolis.
