Cindy Watson Helps Women Find and Achieve Their Best

Cindy Watson is transforming the lives and careers of the women she works with in significant, positive ways. She helps people become more than they thought they could be – from the audiences she inspires as a speaker at meetings and events … to the individuals for whom her consultations lead to heightened growth and success. Simply put, she changes people’s lives for the better.

First, Cindy achieved success as an attorney, a field traditionally dominated by men. She found herself needing to adopt stereotypically male behavior with an aggressive style. Becoming known as a “barracuda” in the firm where she began was a compliment. She wore the reputation as a badge of honor until the pressure to relate to people in that way began to affect her personal relationships and her own sense of herself.

Thirty years ago, Cindy became the founder and managing partner of Watson Labour Lawyers, specializing in social justice law. Ultimately, she had an epiphany. She came to the realization that negotiations would actually be more effective by not adhering to the traditional masculine model.

Cindy analyzed the process of negotiation and determined six key elements that lead to success:

* Assertiveness
* Rapport-building
* Empathy
* Flexibility
* Intuition
* Trust

Assertiveness, of course, is stereotypically considered masculine. Cindy noticed, however, that the other traits for effective negotiation are generally associated with femininity. The resulting acronym is A.R.E.F.I.T.  It conveys the idea that women ARE FIT to be successful negotiators … by using the strengths of who they are.

Cindy uses this realization today as a keynote speaker and consultant to make a positive impact on the world by helping women realize their innate capabilities in business and in life. She established WOMEN ON PURPOSE to help women step into the full force of their innate power by learning The Art of Feminine Negotiation™. This was the start of the “mission” that now drives and motivates her every day.

Art Of Feminine Negotiation

Cindy is available to share her insights as a compelling, unforgettable speaker at meetings and events in Canada, the U.S.A. and around the world. The praise she earns is consistently enthusiastic. This quote is an example …

“Cindy Watson is the real deal. She cares deeply about her clients and she gets great results. It’s not an overstatement to say that Cindy changes lives. Don’t miss a live event with Cindy as a speaker. She is a dynamic powerhouse who motivates and inspires the crowd.”

Christine Hart, Former Minister of Culture and Communications, Founder Accord/Hart & Associates

Cindy is available not just as a speaker but also to contribute to corporate leadership events and culture shift workshops. She’s flexible and offers customized consulting for any business culture seeking the benefits of empowering the women in its organization to be more active and effective contributors to the business.

She is also available for direct, personal coaching, whether one-on-one or in groups. She offers Mastermind Coaching with transformative immersion for women who are ready to step into their Feminine Power.

One On One Coaching

Cindy’s one-on-one will help uncover your limiting beliefs and champion you to push past them. She’ll show you how to make friends with fear and use it to your advantage. She’ll also work with you to make mindset shifts that take you to the next level and beyond, both personally and professionally.

Group Coaching

In her popular group coaching programs, Cindy Watson will guide you to bust through fear and limiting beliefs that have held you back. This experience will boost your confidence, shifting your mindset to tap into your most empowered self. 

How effective is she? Here’s what participant, Arlene Davis, says:

“What an experience! Working with Cindy has changed my life! She helped me tune in to who I really am and my real purpose and mission. So I very much recommend her program to anyone who feels stuck and unfulfilled. You will never regret it.”

You can get a direct experience of Cindy by viewing her TEDx talk:

Rise of the Feminine Voice as the Key to Our Future

As one viewer describes it, the TEDx talk is “incredibly powerful. It showed the strength and resilience that can come from tapping into our feminine intuition. Truly inspiring.”

How inspiring? Already it has hit over 2 million views.

Also worth checking out is Cindy’s new book, “The Art of Feminine Negotiation”. It’s available via amazon as Kindle and paperback.

The Art of Feminine Negotiation: How to Get What You Want from the Boardroom to the Bedroom 

As one of the many enthusiastic reviewers puts it: “Both men and women should read this book! Cindy provides fabulous advice with compassion and sensibility. At every turn, she incorporates refreshing ideas. Thank you, Cindy, for helping to empower women in such inventive ways!”

Bottom line, it’s an unassailable fact: The more fully each of us can contribute our ideas and insights to achieve success in the world we share, the better off we all will be. Cindy actively uses her insights and skills to help women contribute maximally throughout their lives. She’s done over 50 podcast guest interviews along with many Zoom presentations for women’s groups, mediators’ groups, etc. And, of course, she inspires audiences directly as a motivational keynote speaker.

This much is absolutely clear: Cindy Watson has lots more ahead to contribute to the world.
