Dr. Cindra Kamphoff
Author, Coach, Keynote Speaker, Podcast, Trainer
Dr. Cindra Kamphoff is an award-winning keynote speaker, author, and certified mental performance coach with a PhD in performance psychology. She has worked with elite performers and organizations, including the Minnesota Vikings, USA Track & Field, and Fortune 100 and 500 companies such as Bobcat, Target, Northwestern Mutual, Nationwide, Mayo Clinic, and Thrivent.
Cindra recently led a National Research Study on Confidence, which uncovered a nationwide confidence crisis. The research revealed that 70% of working Americans struggle with a harsh inner critic and difficulty moving on from mistakes, and that one in two Gen Z adults report feeling “not enough.” Her upcoming book, The Confidence Habit: 7 Core Practices to Turn Self-Doubt into Self-Belief, will be published by Simon & Schuster this year.
As a result of her work, leaders and performers report reaching their goals faster, increasing their influence, and multiplying their confidence.
Cindra is also a wife and mother who leads by example, demonstrating what’s possible when you intentionally train your mind. While her accomplishments are impressive, they are often matched by her powerful story of grit, perseverance, and growth—one that deeply resonates with audiences.
