Cynthia Stone is a therapist from Colorado who discovered my visual trainings many years ago. Like many, the creativity and unique lifestyle I represented to her, resonated deeply but a busy life snuck in and over a decade flew by. Just when she swung back to graphics, and joined the Visual Coach 2016 cohort, she was diagnosed with cancer. This remarkable woman dialed in from her hospital bed to attend the online classes. I’m pleased to report that she’s recovered her health and that this tenacious woman is also now a Certified Visual Coach. Please join me in wishing her all the best as she steps boldly into private practice!
