“Cicely's coaching has been transformational, and it is reflected in how I work every day. This past year, I have had the pleasure of being coached by Cicely Anderson. Because of Cicely's unique coaching style and positive energy, I exceeded my initial goals, advanced myself professionally, and grew personally.” -Eric

“I have realized that I can live unapologetically about who I am in my personal and work relationships.” - Michelle

“I was aware that Eric was receiving coaching from Cicely Anderson but I underestimated the impact it had until I sat back and thought about Eric's trajectory. I strongly believe that Cicely's role with Eric has provided a unique advantage for Cargill, to the customer, that will pay dividends when the customer is willing to adapt to some fundamental changes required to stay successful. The three areas I believe Eric has grown the most in are: confidence, ownership, and strategic thinking. Thanks Cicely! -Nathan, Eric's Supervisor

Highly skilled in training development, operations, sales, and brand management experience that included developing and leading standardized product training, including training curriculum, for the McDonald's Brand across the U.S.

During my corporate experience, something was always missing for me. I felt like a square peg in a round hole. I wasn’t doing the work I loved and my authentic approach wasn’t always valued.

To thrive, my secret sauce was understanding my unique talents and leveraging them to obtain opportunities that created fulfillment combined with utilizing my positive energy, being bold, creative, and customer-centric. I realized that people didn’t know their unique talents and how to leverage them to thrive in life and career. My mission statement is to be a catalyst for change in professional development and career planning so that professionals’ careers align with their purpose and passion. So, I founded Passion for Life, Inc. (nonprofit) for youth and Life Purpose Architects, LLC.
