Cindy J. Lone | Latina Executive Coach & NeuroLeadership Facilitator
From Wall Street to Coaching: My Journey as a First-Gen Latina Leader
I’m Cindy J. Lone, a neuroscience-based executive coach, speaker, and workshop facilitator, and the founder of Latinas At Work. I help ambitious leaders succeed at the highest levels without giving up their time, energy, and family life.
I spent more than 20 years at Goldman Sachs leading in finance, HR, and talent strategy, including Hispanic and Latinx talent engagement and DEI strategy. I know the pressure of a high-performance career from the inside, with its long hours, constant deadlines, and the weight of being the first in my family to have a corporate job.
Today, I’m a CPA, a NeuroLeadership Institute-certified executive coach, and an ICF Associate Certified Coach. I help high-achieving leaders, especially Latinas and women of color, set boundaries, lead with executive presence, and build generational wealth.
From Survival mode to Success mode
My mission is to help as many leaders as I can, especially Latinas, make that shift, so they can reach their next level with clarity, confidence, and capacity, and create more wealth and freedom for themselves, their families, and their communities.
So many of us were raised to work twice as hard, stay quiet, and wait to be noticed. That drive got us in the door, but over time it keeps the brain in survival mode, reacting to pressure instead of leading through it. Neuroscience shows we can change that. When leaders understand how their brains respond to pressure, visibility, and risk, they can rewire the habits that hold them back, lead with clarity instead of exhaustion, and make their impact visible in the rooms where decisions are made.
That is why I bring this work to leaders and to the organizations that invest in them, through one-on-one coaching, workshops, and keynotes grounded in NeuroLeadership Institute methods and two decades of leading at Goldman Sachs. When one of us rises, she opens the door for the next.

TESTIMONIALS
What do you feel was the most valuable
transformation for you during our program?
Amongst many, the most valuable transformation I experienced during my program with Cindy was inner peace. I’m no longer afraid of the future or of having full control of situations. She’s helped me understand that I can flow with life while having a plan. It’s okay for some things to break down in order to let go of what wasn’t meant to be.
