“Cynthia is that rare leader and coach who inspires those she works with because she fully sees, understands, and honors the person she’s working with. She identifies their visible and yet-to-be discovered/developed talents, skills, abilities, goals, and desires for the future and connects them with activities and opportunities which foster confidence and tremendous growth.”

“Dr.Bentzen-Mercer worked hand in hand with me personally when I served as Mercy Health System’s Chairman of the Board of Directors Human Resources Committee for over ten years. Her guidance and leadership as Human Resources Executive VP at that time for Mercy was groundbreaking .Without exception she is brilliant, compassionate and always evidence based in her problem-solving approach. I’m so happy to see her share her skills and abilities even more now on a global scale related to coaching, counseling, teaching and business /personal analytics and problem solving . She would be the first call I’d make if trouble called me at 3am!”

“Cynthia is a tremendous executive coach. Her warmth, focus, and ability to listen instantly set me at ease and reassured me that I was in good hands on my journey to self-discovery. ‘Aha!” moments abounded during our conversations, and I am poised to move even more confidently in the direction of some pretty big goals based on the insights and solutions we uncovered together. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone looking to make life and career shifts and dream a little bigger.”

As president/Chief Operating Officer of Ameristar Casinos I had the pleasure of working with Cynthia for five years. She was an amazing part of our management team and was responsible for our greatest asset, our people. She has inexhaustible energy with an unlimited capacity for learning and teaching. She was highly regarded by her peers and industry leaders not to mention the team members that worked directly for her. She is a brilliant strategist, with the uncanny ability to see all sides of every opportunity and present the best and most rational solutions. She has always had the ability to work with any personality and is a proven coach that quickly gains the trust and confidence of all her constituents. The greatest compliment I believe you can pay someone is to say “I would truly enjoy working with her again in any situations or opportunity.”
