A different kind of self-development course.

Bridging the Many Pieces of the Puzzle of YOU is a self-development course that helps you discover who you truly are. Led by Dr. Sylvia Gaffney, the “Corporate Crone,” this journey guides you through reflection, discovery, and intention. Through self-paced activities, you’ll explore your natural strengths, values, motivations, and identities. You’ll reconnect with your purpose and define what success means to you—personally and professionally.

Career Management Counselor, Organization Development Practitioner, Executive Coach
Sylvia Gaffney, PhD the Corporate Crone My official title is an Organization Development Practitioner. Basically, I help individuals and organizations deal more effectively with CHANGE. I am also a Career Management Consultant and a Leadership Coach. In my world, everyone is a leader depending on the skills, talents, and behavioral traits each person brings to any given situation. I am a systems thinker who sees interrelationships that help people and organizations arrive at what they need to Stop, Start, or Continue to be more effective that they currently are.l I’ve operated in the business world as an entrepreneur since the late 80’s. My primary focus has been on the human side of business by guiding leaders to greater awareness of who they are and the impact they can make. I have obviously been around the business block quite a few years. Have learned a lot during that time gaining some wisdom along the way. It’s why I call myself the Corporate Crone and would like to share my practical insights and knowledge with you. My hope is that you allow me to work with you as your guide while you achieve greater awareness of yourself and others.
