About Cindy

Cindy Locher is a Board Certified Hypnotherapist and Master NLP practitioner specializing in performance anxiety, also known as fear of public speaking. Throughout her career, she has been known for her ability to bring out the best in people and to help them apply their talents and abilities to achieving greater confidence, fulfillment, and career success.

Cindy's background in education and corporate training and development, combined with her training and knowledge in the use of mind training techniques for desensitization of fears and phobias, makes her uniquely suited to working with professionals, executives, entrepreneurs and business owners who could be more effective, influential and productive with their fear of public speaking reduced or eliminated.

In addition, Cindy is a public speaker herself, so you are working with someone who has conquered the fear and gone on to the following accomplishments:

• National corporate trainer, 1996-2008
• Stand up comedienne (mid 1990's)
• Radio show host, 2008-present
• Featured workshop presenter & keynote speaker to houses of up to 300 participants, 2008 to present
• Speaker at National level professional conferences
• Member, ISN National Speakers Bureau

Cindy's question to you is, how much more effective and influential can you be, both inside and outside of your organization, with your fear of public speaking behind you?  What are you leaving on the table in terms of opportunity, credibility and satisfaction, due to this fear?  If you've thought, or been told, "you'll have to learn to live with it," think again.  You CAN move past the fear, erase the fear, and step into a new level of success and satisfaction.
