Helping People and Organizations Find Clarity in Times of Change

Rise & Resilience was founded by Cynthia Goble—memoirist, speaker, and senior operations and HR leader with more than 30 years of experience bringing order to complexity.

From boardrooms to deeply personal turning points, Cynthia’s work centers on one essential gift: the ability to transform chaos into clarity. What began as a survival skill became a professional strength—and now serves as a stabilizing force for individuals and organizations navigating transition.

Through speaking, consulting, and workshops, Rise & Resilience supports people who are overwhelmed, at a crossroads, or rebuilding—offering compassion, structure, and a clear path forward.

If you are navigating change and need both understanding and direction, you are in the right place.

Welcome to Rise and Resilience, LLC

Founded by Cynthia Goble, a memoirist, speaker, and senior operations and human resources leader, Rise & Resilience brings together more than three decades of experience solving complex problems, stabilizing growth, and creating systems that support both people and performance. Cynthia is known for her rare ability to step into environments marked by uncertainty and bring order, calm, and direction.

This capacity to organize chaos did not originate in the workplace—it was forged early as a means of survival. Over time, that instinct evolved into a defining professional strength and a deeply human way of helping others. Today, it serves as a stabilizing force for individuals, leaders, and organizations navigating transition, rebuilding after disruption, or standing at pivotal crossroads.

Through keynote speaking, consulting, and workshops, Rise & Resilience supports those who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or responsible for guiding others through change. The work is grounded in compassion and lived experience, while also offering practical structure, clear thinking, and sustainable paths forward.

If you are facing change and need both empathy and direction—this is where clarity begins.

Our mission is simple: to provide a safe, transformative space where individuals can embrace their experiences, recognize their inner strength, and step fully into the life they are meant to live.
