“We've worked with Cindy for 8 years now and she has become an integral member in our effort to expand our brand within the US market, helping us to develop and implement new acquisition and retention strategies. Cindy always exceeds expectations, delivering exceptional thoughts and insights in a timely manner.”

“Cindy and her team got in the weeds of our data and gave us tangible suggestions on how to improve the business with their marketing road map tool. She was a pleasure to work with and the output was very helpful for planning for the future. SHINE uncovered a lot of new opportunities for us.”

"Cindy and SHINE Strategy were instrumental in researching and launching our direct mail catalog program and growing our DTC business. She is a lovely person to work with - pleasant, professional, and practical. We couldn’t have grown without her."

"Here comes a roadmap for navigating a purposeful and successful, fulfilling career. The Power of Grit & Grace demonstrates, through Laura’s own journey, the important balance of the art and science of leadership."

“In modern warfare there is a much-cited truism that battles are won by leaders that get to the front. Laura has spent thirty fearless years on the front lines of retail. Part memoir, part playbook—a lovely, readable, honest take on the present state of business leadership in a PostPan world.”

“I was referred to Cindy, and my only regret is that I didn’t meet her sooner. Her analytical and modeling skills are the best of anyone I’ve met. She can fly both “high and low” — helping create a compelling PowerPoint presentation with all the necessary granular thought and data behind it. My business is better and stronger because of her.”
