Cynthia Barnes

Founder and CEO

I spent 20 years building frameworks that made other people rich.

Sales methodologies that became "company best practices." Training programs that got renamed and rolled out without my name attached. Revenue strategies that showed up in Brad's promotion announcement while I got a 2.3% raise and a note about "executive presence."

I documented everything. Exposed the math. Calculated the extraction.

$847,000.

That's the average lifetime wage gap for a Black woman in corporate America. Not a metaphor. Not a feeling. An invoice that never got paid.

So I stopped asking for raises. Started building infrastructure.

---

What I do now:

I build the sales architecture for Black women executives exiting corporate—so they can convert 20+ years of extracted expertise into high-ticket consulting contracts.

No pitching. No shrinking. No explaining your worth to people who've never had to prove theirs.

We don't coach. We build:
→ The offer that positions your expertise for C-Suite buyers
→ The pricing model that kills hourly rates forever
→ The proof assets that sell before you get on a call
→ The pipeline that fills your calendar without "networking"
→ The IP protection that ensures your frameworks stay yours

90 days. Proof to pipeline. Your expertise finally has your name on it.

---

This is for you if:

↳ You've built frameworks inside companies that got attributed to someone else
↳ You left (or you're leaving) and you're done being the secret weapon
↳ You have 15-25 years of expertise but no language to sell it
↳ You're tired of courses that teach theory—you want assets built
↳ You understand that Brad isn't the problem; the system is—and you're ready to build outside of it

---

This is NOT for you if:

↳ You're looking for mindset work, mantras, or manifestation
↳ You want someone to convince you your expertise has value
↳ You're still hoping the company will "finally see" you
↳ You need hand-holding through basic business decisions
↳ You think "putting yourself out there" is a strategy

---

I'm not here to help you get a seat at their table.

I'm here to help you build your own—and send them the invoice.

I inherited my grandmother's china.
My niece will inherit my frameworks.

Not metaphorically. Legally.

Last month, I sat with an IP attorney and built something nobody talks about: an intellectual property estate plan.

Every framework I've created — documented, valued, and assigned.
Every methodology — trademarked and timestamped.
Every system still running at companies I left years ago — catalogued with licensing potential.

Total estimated value: $6.3M in recoverable IP.

My grandmother worked for 44 years. Left me dishes.
I've worked for 19 years. I'm leaving my niece royalties.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲:

Your frameworks don't have to die with your career.
Your methodologies can generate income after you stop working.
Your intellectual property is an asset class nobody taught you to build.

What's in my IP estate:

→ 3 operational frameworks (actively licensed)
→ 7 methodologies (documented, not yet monetized)
→ 12 systems running at former employers (invoices pending)
→ 1 niece who will never build for free

She's 13. Already timestamps her school projects. Keeps version history on her essays. Told her teacher she retains IP rights to her science fair methodology.

That's my real legacy.

Not the china. The collection strategy.

Your brilliance is generational wealth waiting to be documented.

Build the estate. Price the inheritance. Leave more than memories.

Thank You; It's True™

A Black woman with short natural hair stands confidently at a wooden table in an elegant neutral-toned room. She wears a taupe cashmere wrap coat over a cream blouse, looking directly at the camera with a subtle smile. On the table in front of her sits a formal place setting: stacked china plates with gold trim, a matching teacup and saucer, a crystal water glass, and gold flatware on a linen napkin. The setting evokes inherited wealth and tradition — fine china passed down through generations.
