Working with Cindy has been a turning point for me to step out of the “doing everything” mindset and into a genuine CEO role, with clearer boundaries, stronger leadership and more intentional decision-making.

Her ability to cut through the noise, help me prioritise what truly matters, and navigate the emotional side of growth has been invaluable. The Breakthrough Day we completed together was especially powerful. It shifted long-held beliefs and helped me realign with the bigger version of myself that my business needs. 

Cindy is professional, insightful and genuinely invested in your success. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to grow with clarity, confidence and structure.

Cindy brings an incredible amount of heart and value to every business session we have. She has this rare gift of lifting you up, guiding you with clarity, and leaving you feeling stronger and more grounded every single time.

Having Cindy in your corner isn’t just having a brilliant mind and a wealth of knowledge backing you — it genuinely feels like having a true partner in your business who cares as deeply about your success as you do. She shows up with passion, purpose, and a burning desire to see you thrive.

Working with Cindy has been one of the greatest blessings for my business, and for me personally.

Before working with Cindy, I was overwhelmed, losing control of my numbers, and on the brink of going under.
Within weeks, I finally understood my business, knew what needed to happen next, and felt confident making decisions again.
Every tradie should do this — even three months with Cindy can genuinely save your business and your sanity.

Before working with Cindy, I was overwhelmed, out of balance, and on the edge of burnout.
She helped me get on top of my numbers, implement strategies that restored balance, and set my business up for long-term sustainability.
If you’re feeling anything like I was, Cindy is absolutely the person you need.

Before working with Cindy, I felt completely stuck — I just couldn’t reach my goals.
Her structure, accountability, and genuine investment in my success helped me break my goals down and achieve them one by one.

Before working with Cindy, I felt unfocused, overwhelmed, and stuck trying to figure everything out on my own.
Learning to plan properly, budget, and chip away at goals bit by bit changed everything — I went from being in debt to having money in the bank and a clear pipeline of work.
Now I have confidence, clarity, and the freedom to enjoy my family without constantly worrying about the business.

“Cindy helped us go from one build to seven homes on the go, with clear checklists, schedules and payment systems. The transformation has been unbelievable.  We’re busier and less stressed, and finally feel in control.
With structure, confidence, and a clear roadmap, Corey and Bryony are now building more than homes – they’re building long-term stability, stronger wealth, and a business that reflects who they are as leaders.”

Cindy, thank you so much for the time and effort you have put into growing my business. It certainly wouldn't be what it is today without your support. Your masterclasses have been invaluable, and the 1:1 20-minute coaching sessions demonstrate how much of yourself you put into each of your clients' success. Knowing you were in my corner allowed me to shoot for the stars, and I will be forever grateful.

Cindy is an exceptional mentor and coach. Her professionalism is unmatched, and she has a unique ability to dig really deep and truly understand the core of your business. Cindy’s strategic insights and approach have pushed me to think outside the box, implementing strategies and models that I would have never considered on my own. If you're looking for someone who will challenge your thinking, help you refine your vision, and set you on a path to success, I highly recommend Cindy.

Cindy became a true part of my business, giving me the clarity and confidence I needed to turn a struggling operation into a highly profitable one.
I went from long hours and low confidence to a business that’s thriving — and I even got my weekends back.
If you want a coach who’s dedicated to helping you earn more and work less, Cindy is the person you call.

Cindy takes a personable approach and is exceptional at identifying issues, offering a clear and practical path to resolution. I experienced significant personal and professional growth during the 12 months I worked with her. Her supportive yet honest feedback style made it easy to tackle challenges head-on without feeling overwhelmed. Highly recommend to grow professionally or navigate complex career transitions.

Our project was a complex one making it up on the go and really enjoyed working with someone who understand that and was so dedicated to making our business work.
I'll work with Cindy again anytime. Her inquiry and enthusiasm is hard to find. If you get a chance to work with her you’ll be lucky."

Eldon and Barb were working up to 24 hours a day in their hay-making business and felt completely overwhelmed, unsure how to grow.
With Cindy’s support, they began understanding their numbers, became accountable, and gained the confidence to hire and take control instead of just surviving.
In just 18 months, they doubled their income and increased their profit tenfold.

Showing up weekly or fortnightly and being challenged about how I’m approaching things in my business - it’s the best 30 min’s I spent in the last fortnight.   Gave me clarity and focus of how to move forward. 

Aaron and Tysen were skilled builders but quickly discovered they were losing money, working 7-day weeks, and had no clear understanding of their numbers.
With Cindy’s guidance and accountability, Green Edge Builders learned about their numbers, and how to make money. 
Seven-day weeks are now a thing of the past, and they finally have the time, clarity, and commercial understanding to grow a successful trade business.

Matt and Kelly chose Cindy as their business coach because they felt a genuine connection and trusted that she truly understood their needs.
With her guidance, they shifted to integrated, computer-based systems that streamlined payroll, appointments, staffing, and hiring, saving them hours each week.
They now have a strong platform for growth and feel confident about expanding their team while Matt focuses on building client relationships.

Before working with Cindy, I was burnt out, doing everything myself, and running in circles with no time left for my family.
Cindy helped me take control, restructure my business, and shift my mindset so I could finally achieve the work–family balance I’d been chasing.
Now I have strong processes, real confidence, and feel genuinely set up for a great year ahead.

Since working with Cindy, my confidence has skyrocketed and I finally feel in control of my business.
She encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone, and as a result my business has flourished and I’m attracting clients who truly value my services.
Cindy’s guidance, knowledge, and kind-but-firm approach have been invaluable — she’s an incredible coach and a genuinely beautiful person.

Working with Cindy, we knew change was inevitable. Her advanced accounting & business knowledge helped us immediately increase our profit margin through small but very effective improvements. Working closely with her gave us a better understanding on what it really takes to operate a successful business and how to better deal with the challenges that come with it.  Cindy is an amazing individual & someone we truly value for her genuine input in our business. 

Cindy was an absolute asset in helping clarify and set a plan for the future of a company. Her skill in getting the best out of everyone was a relief at a very taxing time. If you’re looking for clarity and a solid plan I’d recommend her services.

Working with Cindy Drake was great - the advice was speedy and one hundred percent useful as Cindy is a very generous and highly knowledgeable coach. I will contact Cindy in the future and sincerely recommend her to anyone seeking business advice. I now understand much more about creating a business plan and the calculations needed to identify what break even is and the cost of producing goods.

Before working with Cindy, I was overwhelmed and drowning in chaos, but her guidance helped me understand my numbers, reduce anxiety, and regain control of my business.
She taught me how to balance the core pillars of business—numbers, people, and myself.  Working with Cindy has been truly transformative, and my business has flourished because of her expertise, support, and tailored strategies.

For years I behaved like an employee instead of a leader, struggling with communication, frustration, and a lack of results.
Cindy helped me understand myself, my business, and my behaviours, guiding me to communicate with clarity, emotional intelligence, and confidence.
The transformation has been remarkable—I’ve won Helloworld’s Manager of the Year, opened multiple branches, and earned recognition as a successful franchise owner.
My mindset and communication are now those of a true leader, and it has changed not only my business but my life.

I was overwhelmed with cash flow, time management, and keeping the business afloat, wearing every hat with no clear direction.
Within six months of coaching, we’d quadrupled our sales, improved client responsiveness, renovated our studio, and set clear goals for the next two years.
I’m now working smarter, not harder, and finally feel confident about the future of the business and the growth ahead.

Cindy helped me realise that I could streamline and improve my business with someone I truly trusted to guide me toward real results.
Her coaching has been invaluable — she helped me set clear goals, gain clarity, and establish solid foundations for growth and expansion.
I would highly recommend Cindy to any business owner looking for direction, confidence, and a clear vision for their business.

Cindy is encouraging and supportive, as she calmly challenges my assumptions! She is creating a truly partnering relationship that enables me to feel that I have the ability to do this.
