Take control of your career

Hi there, I'm Lee Johnson, and I'm on a mission to make a difference for underrepresented minorities in the tech world. Everyone deserves an equal opportunity to succeed in their chosen field, regardless of their background. But I also know that achieving that success can be incredibly challenging, especially for those who face additional hurdles due to their ethnicity, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

That's where I come in.

With over two decades of experience in the technology industry, I've climbed the ranks from a humble developer to a Director of Sales Engineering. Along the way, I've gained valuable insights and built a vast network of connections that have allowed me to help countless individuals overcome obstacles and reach new heights in their careers.

But my journey doesn't stop there. I've also co-founded a successful private equity real estate firm, Value Investment Partners, which has managed over 3,000 units valued at over $300 million. Through this venture, I've honed my investing, entrepreneurship, and leadership skills – all of which I'm eager to share with you as we work together to conquer your career goals.

Cindy Scibetta-Butts’ favorite place to be is coaching teams and individuals to help them develop their talent and show up at their best in their work and in their life. She has had two parallel tracks for her entire career - HR leadership roles with a focus on talent within the growing wellbeing industry. She has served on a variety of teams building HR leadership strategies and systems for high growth organizations and has developed performance management and onboarding programs that build strong cultures and attract top talent.

Cindy excels at leading team and individual coaching sessions that have a positive and lasting impact on both performance and wellbeing. She prides herself on creating a safe place for people to be genuine, authentic, natural, and brave.

She is an experienced Gallup Certified CliftonStrengths Coach and integrates the philosophy of Strengths in everything she does. Cindy shines a spotlight on what is right with people, building on our natural talents rather than fixating on what is wrong with people. She notes that our Strengths don’t always work to our advantage - sometimes these natural talents actually get in our way! And understanding our Strengths and having the opportunity to develop them makes all the difference in our work and in our lives.

In early 2018, Cindy launched Grow with Strengths to help businesses and their teams grow their talent so they can do great things together. She is also an ACE Certified Coach and has a BA from the University of New Hampshire in Communications and French. She and her husband live in Rhode Island and they have two grown daughters. Her major goal in life is to still be able to do cartwheels as a grandmother.
