About Me
Hi! My name is Cindy Hillsey and I am an Associate Certified Coach (ACC). I work with women who are Small Business Owners, Service Based Entrepreneurs, and Solo Practitioners.
Some background on me and how I came to be where I am today:
Working with women who are expressing their independence through their entrepreneurship is a real passion of mine. As a Coach, I myself am a Service-Based Entrepreneur. Prior to officially becoming a coach, I was a VA for 5 years. I understand what is involved in running a successful business. I also understand the frustration in getting your business up and running, trying to find your Ideal Client, and learning how to wear the CEO hat.
When I was a VA, I would routinely receive emails and phone calls from other VAs asking me for my thoughts, advice, suggestions — using me as a sounding board for their various ideas. I loved doing this. I also found that I was doing the same type of things for my VA clients. I wasn’t really acting as a VA for them; I was a coach.
Once I realized that coaching was where I wanted to be, I enrolled in a coaching program at the International Coach Academy (ICA) and graduated as a Certified Professional Coach (CPC) in June of 2010. Since then I have gone on to earn my Associate Certified Coach (ACC) designation from the International Coach Federation. I also love to learn new things, and I am constantly taking classes around anything that has to do with working virtually. I’ve completed an Internet Marketing course, a Social Media Marketing course, a Blog Marketing course, and a Facebook Fan Page course through VAClassroom. I also completed a 16-week course on how an Online Business Manager (OBM) works with clients along with a course in how to use video in your business with Lou Bortone. All of these trainings assist me in being a better coach for you. *smile*
By combining my business skills and experience with my coaching skills, I am able to offer my clients a unique perspective to help them achieve their business goals.
In addition to the traditional coaching packages I offer, I have a number of other ways for you to work with me. Click here to see a list of the programs and products I offer to see what method might work best for you.
Because I love my clients and appreciate them, I’ve put together a Client Appreciation Program. Click here for all the details!

In addition to 25+ years of experience working in, and with, entrepreneurs (both online and offline), I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Management from Davenport University. I live in West Michigan with my husband and four cats (yes, I am a cat person!).
