First person If Cindy introduces herself

I’m Cindy Friedman, and I’m a brand therapist. I work with founders of service based businesses, the people who are excellent at what they do and terrible at explaining it. I spend ninety minutes asking questions, and then I put it in writing. Thirty years of doing this, and the diagnosis has never once been “no personality found.”
