We recently connected with Cindy Gracely and have shared our conversation below.

Cindy, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?

The story of the Cinergy Works Mission started when I did an exercise with a Brand Specialist. The exercise was called “You are your Brand” using Brand Archetype cards. My personal mission statement after the session was complete is “I have a no limit philosophy and tenacious approach to how I live each day.I live life with passion running through my veins, Guides directing me spiritually, and always optimistic when facing and conquering challenges.I have a relentless belief in the good in humanity and I see the world with wonder.” This translated perfectly in to the overall vision and mission of Cinergy Works.
We have a no limit and tenacious process on working alongside our client as a creative partner, ensuring the event tells their story and exceeds their expectations.We are passionate and pay attention to EVERY detail to accomplish the outcome desired. No matter, the obstacle or challenge, it is met with positivity and enthusiasm to create a solution to overcoming the situation. It is always an exciting adventure getting to know and understand the Client and all of their goals. Each individual event brings a sense of awe and wonder to the entire working process manifesting in the event that the Client dreamed of and wanted their audience to feel and experience!

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

We’d love to hear about you met your business partner.

In 2008, when the market was down, I met Laura Childress who owned LFC llc. I owned Cinergy Marketing Solutions at the time. We decided with the wants and needs of our existing individual Clients that we would merge our business and create Cinergy Works. At the very same time, Susan Christian, Mayor’s Office of Special Events recommended us to Vestas, a wind energy company that had just entered the Houston market. Vestas hired us to do their Worldwide Wind Energy Conference and it took off from there.
We have distinct strength areas that compliment each other and enable us to work well on different facets of our business to create truly amazing events.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

The time and energy spent filling out all of the paperwork, documentation and interviews for MWBE, Houston LGBT Chamber, and NGLCC has been a great source of securing business and providing networking opportunities.
