FAQ

How do you provide your services?

My services are provided at a distance via video calls, as well as through document review, video analysis, and ongoing support between meetings. With years of experience working remotely, I’ve developed efficient methods to guide teams through creative, technical, and administrative processes — without being in the gym, at competitions, or on site.

What if I have a limited staff, or I’m doing everything myself?

You’re not alone; many directors carry the full weight of their program. I can help you prioritize tasks, build a manageable structure, and identify ways to delegate, even if that just means organizing volunteers or involving students responsibly. With clear tools and a few smart systems, you’ll feel less overwhelmed and more focused. We’ll work together to create a support system that fits your reality and grows with you over time.

How do I know what to prioritize when everything feels urgent?

It’s easy to get overwhelmed when you're responsible for so much. Together, we’ll assess your season goals and break them down into what truly matters. I’ll help you identify your highest-impact tasks, set boundaries, and delegate where possible. With a clear structure, you’ll move from reaction mode to intentional leadership and free up time and energy to focus on your team’s growth.

Can you help with long-term planning for my program?

Yes and I highly recommend it. We’ll look at your current situation and build a roadmap that includes 1-, 3-, and 5-year goals. Whether you're aiming to increase membership, build staff consistency, or move into competitive circuits, I’ll help you define realistic milestones and strategies to get there. Long-term vision takes the pressure off short-term perfection and sets your program up for sustainable growth.

How can I support my instructors better?

It starts with clear communication, aligned expectations, and supportive structure. I can help you create tools and routines that make life easier for your staff from rehearsal breakdowns to show notes to feedback systems. If you’re building a team from scratch or working with volunteers, we’ll find a model that works for your context. When your instructors feel supported, they can focus on helping your students succeed.

Hi, my name is Cynthia Bernard

Guard has always been part of my life: I live and breathe Color Guard and Drum Corps. I’ve been fortunate to grow alongside some of the best in our activity. Coming from Canada, I’ve also learned to be resourceful, creative, and resilient in the face of limited access. These lessons shaped the way I support others in reaching their highest potential.
