We had the good fortune of connecting with Cynthia James and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Cynthia, how do you think about risk?
I think risk taking is a natural and important part of being an entrepreneur. I have always taken risks. Some paid off and some did not but I always learned, grew and expanded my dreams and desires.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to honor Global Leadership Program with Lisa Nichols. I spent one year immersed in training with Lisa and a group of talented experts. 40 people around the world gathered in person 4 times a year and took a deep dive into leading a business. We had amazing teachers, coaches and mentors. I have to say there were moments that I doubted myself and felt scared, but the team nurtured me through the process. It was a game changing moment.
