MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO
Hi, I'm Cynthia
Cynthia Sweeney (she/her) is a Certified Leadership Coach, Consultant and award-winning advocate for inclusive change. She is the founder of Simply Good Form and the author of The Pink Balloon, a children’s book about gender identity and shining as your true self. Cynthia is co-author of the #1 International Bestseller Voices of the 21st Century: Unstoppable Women Standing Strong, published in February 2026.
Known for her heartfelt storytelling and grounded leadership insight, Cynthia’s work sits at the intersection of courage, compassion, and personal growth. Her leadership journey has been shaped by lived experience as the mom of a transgender child—an experience that transformed both her personal life and her professional purpose.
What began as advocacy rooted in gender inclusion, evolved into a broader leadership practice supporting individuals and organizations navigating change. Today, Cynthia works with leaders, teams, and women standing at the edge of new chapters—whether that’s a career shift, a leadership transition, or a moment of deep personal redefinition.
Through Simply Good Form, Cynthia blends emotional intelligence, inclusive leadership strategy, and practical tools to help people move forward with clarity, confidence, and authenticity—even when the path ahead feels uncertain.
Cynthia does many things. She facilitates workshops, advises executives, coaches individuals, and builds socially-focused community programs supporting the transgender community. Her work is rooted in one simple belief: Courage doesn’t require certainty—only care, intention, and a willingness to say 'yes' to what matters most.
She lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia, with her family and believes deeply in the power of connection to spark meaningful change.
Since 2019 - How My Work Has Evolved
In 2019, Simply Good Form launched with a purpose of increasing leaders capacity to recognize the importance of gender diversity inclusion and belonging; and to move beyond their own fears and biases to inspire communities where all can thrive. This work has always been grounded in lived experience and community engagement and deep connection.
Over time, my purpose and work grew.
What I experienced and learned —across families, workplaces, and leadership teams—was that people weren’t just struggling with inclusion. They were struggling with change, uncertainty, identity shifts, and moments of deep redefinition.
People work with me to move forward with clarity, courage, and values-aligned purpose — even when change feels heavy.
Today, my work spans three connected domains:
1. Organizational Consulting
I support workplaces in building inclusive, human-centered cultures rooted in respect, empathy, and belonging.
2. Leadership & Transition Coaching
I work one-on-one with people who are navigating change. They are standing at the edge of new chapters or feeling called to live and lead more authentically.
3. Public Speaking and Storytelling
I use storytelling, my written books, and speaking engagements. These tools spark important conversations about courage, compassion, and leadership rooted in our values with integrity.
Each stream of my leadership work informs the others. Together, they create a holistic practice grounded in real life—not theory.

My Why
Origin of this work
My leadership journey began in a moment that changed everything. The day I learned I was the mom of a transgender child, I stood at a crossroads. This reshaped both my life and my purpose.
What began as a commitment to support my child and family became a journey in cultural humility. This involved building pathways for workplaces, classrooms, and communities to become safe, accepting, and welcoming of all gender diversity.
Advocacy wasn’t something I planned. It emerged from love, necessity, and a refusal to stay silent in the face of harm or misunderstanding.
Over time, that advocacy expanded into leadership work, coaching, consulting, and storytelling. What stayed constant was the heart of it: helping people feel less alone in moments of transition, uncertainty, and becoming.
This work is not theoretical for me. It is lived. It is relational. And it continues to evolve as I walk alongside individuals and organizations navigating change.
Let's talk
If you’re navigating change—personally, professionally, or organizationally—your solutions begin here.
