About Cynthia Owen

Hii I'm Cynthia Owen

Beyond the Story Coaching and Consulting is all about setting owners up for success with an easy and fun way to develop your Strength-based Business Plan and an engaging way to implement your business vision.

I offer done-with-you coaching, workshops and management consulting to transition you and your business to your next level of impact and abundance.

I realized in 1970 when I entered high school, that there were things I just wasn’t going to let pass. There was a dress code for the girls in our school of 1500 students, but nothing substantially required for the boys. My first petition was circulated and with more than enough supporting signatures, I along with a girlfriend presented it to the Principal. The dress code was changed. I started down my path of standing for changes in our culture.

I offer foundational Feminine Power Workshops and coaching packages so you can embody the everyday practices to keep you in your power and out of reaction, and to anchor into your intuition. I have developed a done-with-you Strengths-Based Business Plan process to help you capture the bigness of your vision in an easy way and enable you to make better decisions quicker so you can live your life more abundantly. It is bankable and aligns your heart and soul.

How Beyond the Story Coaching Was Born

With decades of experience as an economist, Cynthia began to see the world's many challenges, from conflicts to climate change, as stemming from an outdated mindset of scarcity and the economic principle of resource allocation.

This stems from a long-held belief by many in the western world that there is not enough for everyone and a lack of awareness about what is enough. This perspective was further reinforced by her exploration of indigenous wisdom, which emphasized the importance of taking only what we need and leaving something behind for others. Drawing from her experience co-launching two innovative businesses, she knew we can do a better job of meeting both consumer and environmental needs. She calls upon us to uplevel and discern a new level of care in all we do, so the scarcity business models of today are transformed in abundance business models of tomorrow.

As the conscious consumer movement becomes mainstream, business models will have to evolve to meet the new demand criteria. As a Women-Centered Coach and Mentor, Cynthia’s mission is to empower her clients to navigate the chaos of our world, discover their true path, and enhance their bottom line. She developed the Feminine Strengths Amplifier approach, which taps into businesswomen’s often-hidden resources ( internal and external), guiding them towards success, balance and impact in their businesses and life. While some may call it business planning, Cynthia sees her work as a launchpad for fearless women leaders who will not only transform their own lives and businesses but also contribute to the betterment of the world we all share. Beyond the Story Coaching was born from these beliefs and experiences, with a vision to create a more connected, abundant, and sustainable future for all.

Testimonial

Our customer say

Before I attended the Connections-Based Marketing Workshop – Pulling Together the Pieces, I felt like I had no direction or plan- so many ideas but no idea what to focus on or how to bring all the pieces together.
After the Workshop I’m feeling way more clear on what I want to achieve with specific deadlines.
Now, I am able to focus on what to do next, knowing that it falls into a more comprehensive plan.
