Cindy McCown

Helping leaders craft their next chapter with clarity, authenticity, and purpose.

Book Session With Cindy
Cindy McCown — Executive & Communications Coach
"We constantly write our stories — regardless of what events came before, or possibly because of them."

Cindy McCown believes that each of us has the extraordinary opportunity, every day and in each moment, to repair relationships, learn from failure, celebrate success, and envision and craft the next chapter. This philosophy anchors her coaching practice and resonates deeply with leaders navigating transitions, reinvention, or periods of rapid change.

Her proudest professional accomplishment was redirecting her journey to become a certified coach. Taking on that challenge and stepping into the unknown brought vivid color and rich texture to her life — and it is the same transformative energy she helps unlock in her clients. As a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) through The Co-Active Training Institute, Cindy combines rigorous coaching methodology with a storyteller's intuition and a communicator's precision.

Before coaching, Cindy built a substantial career as a copywriter, editor, and media producer, working with diverse clients across marketing, communications, promotions, and advertising. With a degree in broadcast journalism and extensive experience in video production, television, film, and digital media, she developed an exceptional ability to create engaging content that is brand-relevant and meets client business needs. Today she applies those same skills to helping leaders find their voice, clarify their message, and communicate with impact.

In school I was most likely to get in trouble for too much chit-chat. I'm inquisitive and I love to talk, listen, and ask questions — the only adjustment was learning my timing. That same curiosity now serves my coaching: asking powerful questions that surface insight, creating space for reflection, and partnering with clients to discover answers that are uniquely their own.
