Feedback from The Aspire Leadership Program full-day workshop at the Connecticut Bankers Association.
Topic: How to be a Better Leader from the Inside Out.
Beyond being comfortable in front of a camera with a microphone in my hand – I get energized to the nth degree when I’m around a group of smart eager to learn people.
What to expect:
This year the Connecticut Bankers Association “Women in Banking” event was held virtually. I am not going to lie this was disappointing to me as I really love attending these events in person and feeling so uplifted and inspired from these events. After all, how much are you really going to get watching this virtually? I could not have been more wrong. Let me tell you about how one woman was able to give me the courage to be brave, vulnerable, and put myself out there. One of the speakers was Cindy Donaldson. I found her to be intriguing from the start. She was in one of my breakout sessions during the lunch meet and greet time. Little did I know that this woman was going to open my eyes more than I had ever imagined.
Cindy is real and raw at times, but that is what makes her such a great speaker. I can see why CBA selected her to be the ending speaker. There are times that you do not need to sugar coat things, being honest with one’s self means more than hiding in the shadows. I do not know what everyone else took from this session. But I can speak for myself and it was amazing. This will be one of those days that I will always remember and hold close to me.
Cindy, I cannot thank you enough. I wanted to give you a peek of my thoughts during your speech and how much you have impacted me. I can see myself talking about this day years from now, as this has inspired me to be more. Thank you,
Renee Miller, AVP Business Bank Manager/Guilford Savings Bank

This was by far my favorite class since I started ASPIRE. Cindy was amazing and able to provide a great takeaway in a short period of time

LOVED IT!!
Cindy is AWESOME!!
I appreciate Cindy’s enthusiasm. I feel she provided some great insight on being a leader and being a mentor. Also, that being a good leader is the ability to recognize when an employee is not happy and providing suggestion on having a positive/constructive conversation on an topic that may be hard for either the manger or the employee to hear.
Best ASPIRE class yet! Cindy was wonderfully inspirational, funny, knowledgeable, and caring. I left inspired and immediately put into practice her tips to inspire a struggling employee.
Favorite class so far. She was a force!!!
Best session so far. There was expected participation but it didn’t feel forced like the other sessions
Cindy is very knowledgeable, and I can tell she is very passionate about the subject matter. I appreciated her level of candor and how she engaged the class. I learned a lot about myself.
I think we all need to be reminded more often of the information Cindy was presenting. It was so valuable…
Cindy is a rockstar!
Cindy was incredible. There was a buzz in the room the entire time and even during lunch. I know everyone left class feeling inspired in some way.
By far my favorite class that we have done in ASPIRE! I know a good number of us thought the same thing. Cindy inspired us and really got us thinking on things to better ourselves and in doing that, how we can inspire others. Highly suggest having her in the program in the future. Also suggesting to others to go to the women in banking next year to see Cindy as the keynote speaker.
I felt this was the best session yet, which is saying something! The lessons Cindy speaks on are essential for personal life as well as in your career. Cindy’s authenticity and passion for the subject made for an engaging session.
Best Class so far! Truly made you think about yourself and what you can do personally to better help your team.
Let’s just say I’m flexible! To the right are topic suggestions – we can cut, paste, cobble and create anything thing you like that fits my subject matter expertise.
