Speaking – Finding that key leadership ingredient

Talented individuals with the right ingredients = A recipe for success.

If you’re a leader seeking to make the most of the talent in your team, you need each person to properly understand how to get the best out of themselves.  When your staff members know what drives and motivates them, and why, you have the makings of a Michelin star meal.

Cindy Etsell, career development expert and author of the highly praised book, Cooking up Success, is an inspiring and entertaining motivational speaker who makes it her quest to stir a team into action.

She has become known for offering a clear and defined recipe for helping people tap into their unique talents to maximise their impact, and has delivered keynote speeches and motivational talks at corporate conferences, industry association meetings, and entrepreneur-driven gatherings.

Focusing on flavour

Cindy knows just how important fulfilled and motivated individuals are to the success of a team, and loves nothing better than inspiring people to push past their boundaries, understand themselves, and make the most of the unique skills they bring to the table. When your team arrives to hear Cindy speak, you can be assured they will leave not only motivated… but equipped to cook up a treat!

How does Cindy inspire individuals, teams, and organisations to cook up success? By:

  • Helping individuals to discover, appreciate, and value their unique skills
  • Guiding people to understand their motivations
  • Envisioning how a person’s talents can be maximised for the benefit of the team
  • Fostering creativity, self-belief, and a passion for fulfilment
  • Promoting the power of effective communication within oneself, and beyond

Cindy Etsell’s speaking engagements have included the Commonwealth Games (Canada), WiTT (Women in IT and Telecoms), Smart Works, and Cisco, to mention but a few.
