With over 13 years of experience across pharmaceutical startup, biotech manufacturing and quality control, food manufacturing, product development, ERP database implementation, and supply chain roles, I deeply understand the daily struggle to stay ahead in fast-paced, regulated, and high-pressure industries. Meet Cyndi Trevisiol, Founder and Coach:
In 2023 I was laid off. With time for self-reflection, doubt crept in. Did I really want to stay in manufacturing? At times my career had pushed me to the edge of burnout. And in 2023, I had a 1 year old. I spent that summer with my daughter, knowing I was meant to get back to work. At some point, I made a joke to my previous boss that I would start a business to help people who had been stressed like us. He asked me what the logo would be, and thus came the idea of two worker bees high-fiving. 
3 months after being laid off, I dove in and brought the bee logo to life, starting my first business, The Helpful Colleague. I wanted to help others who might feel unsupported, overwhelmed. I hoped I could get people to pay me for this. I began coaching and consulting for local businesses in Eugene, Oregon. Contracts flowed and I attended International Coaching Academy while working, and earned my Associate Certified Coach (ACC) through International Coaching Federation. While studying at ICA, after reading a fellow coach’s research on grit and in the face of many things I have experienced in my own career and life, I became *somewhat obsessed* with the concept of resilience.
Eventually, one of my clients offered me a full-time role. Excited to be a part of a manufacturing team again, I gladly joined their chai (spiced tea) company in February of 2024 as Director of Operations. 
I refocused my business exclusively on coaching and resilience research & education in 2025, rebranding from Helpful Colleague Coaching and Consulting to StrategyBee. I currently work as a Director of Operations 4 days a week and run StrategyBee primarily on Mondays. 
Fun bonus facts: Family (including our two cats and pet chuckwalla of course) and nature are important to me. I spend my “free” time outside walking, running, backpacking, hunting & fishing, and trying to keep a garden alive, often with my daughter following along.

In recognition of the documented benefits of recharging during times of stress by spending time in nature, I’ve recently begun offering coaching walks to local clients - let me know if you are interested in having all or part of your program occur outdoors (this can happen remotely too via cell phone calls!). Research shows that exposure to nature even in simple natural environments like city parks and gardens can have benefits on our health and mental wellbeing.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and my journey. If you’d like to meet about coaching, request an appointment today!
