action plan. Some clients request coaching in a specific area, others opt for
ongoing coaching support to create a culture of continuous improvement and
excellence. Executive Passage leverages its proven expertise in executive

typically have hundreds or thousands of employees who need to be mobilized and
engaged. Our business clients typically have
been in business at least 5 years with revenues $500K or more and at least 5 or

EXECUTIVE PASSAGE the trademarked company name, was created by Cynthia Roney to reflect her passage from sales to CEO then Executive Coach and also combines Cynthia's lifelong passion for horses and riding.
The ‘Passage’ is one of the highest level movements in dressage (considered a
dance of the horse), accomplished only after years of hard work, dedication and
perfect partnership between horse and rider. While horses may not be for
everyone, they have been powerful teachers and motivators throughout Cynthia's
life and provided valuable business insight. In June 2009, the Company
invested in its newest coach, a 17.2 hand competitive showjumper/dressage horse,
Piko's Executive Passage. Sadly, in August 2010, we lost our beloved
Piko. What can you learn from a 1,500 pound animal....tons! Read more about Executive Passage & Equine Inspired Learning
