See what Jack Canfield said about Cynthia
“Cynthia Ruiz is one of the most well-informed, deeply wise, kind-hearted, and articulate people I have ever met. It was a pure joy interviewing her for my television show Talking About Success. Her ability to share the wisdom she has gained from both her experience as a member of the Cherokee Nation coupled with her years in major leadership roles in government, has given her the ability to profoundly impact an audience. The principles of effective leadership that she has drawn from both of those experiences are right on target and so deeply needed at this time in our history.” Jack Canfield
