The LEAP Framework..
At askCecily Coaching & Consulting, we understand that success isn’t just about checking off goals—it’s about feeling whole, fulfilled, and aligned. That’s why we created the LEAP Framework, which weaves together Financial Empowerment, Leadership Development, and Intentional Life Design.
Focusing on just one area without the others often leaves you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like something is missing. But with these three interconnected pillars, they form the foundation for a legacy that honors your values, amplifies your potential, and creates a life you can truly be proud of.
You may resonate with this if you:
Struggle with financial anxiety or inherited money narratives.
Feel stuck or unsure about stepping confidently into leadership roles.
Feel overwhelmed by societal expectations and lack a clear vision for your ideal life.
If any of this feels familiar, know this: you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. These challenges don’t define you, and they don’t have to limit what’s possible for your life.
The LEAP Framework was designed to help you break free from these barriers, align your values with your actions, and create the life, leadership, and financial foundation you deserve. Let’s take a closer look at how these pillars work together to empower your next chapter.

Financial Empowerment
-
Money is more than just numbers—it’s tied to emotions, self-worth, and inherited narratives that can feel impossible to shake. You may feel guilt about not “doing enough,” shame over past financial decisions, or the constant fear of losing what you’ve worked so hard to build. These feelings are real, and they’re valid—but they don’t have to define your relationship with money.
Together, we’ll uncover and rewrite the money stories that no longer serve you. Through sustainable habits and a clear financial plan, you’ll not only build wealth intentionally but also experience the freedom and peace that come from knowing you’re in control of your financial future.
Cecily, you have been so helpful, patient, and pleasant to work with. Thank you so much for all you've done to get me together.

Leadership Development
-
Leadership isn’t just about titles or positions—it’s about how you show up, inspire, and impact those around you. But stepping into leadership can feel daunting, especially when you’re juggling self-doubt, team challenges, or cultural barriers that often make you feel like you don’t belong.
You might question if you’re "good enough" to lead, struggle with the pressure to prove yourself, or feel exhausted from trying to navigate environments where your voice isn’t fully valued. These feelings don’t have to hold you back.
Through intentional strategies, we’ll help you embrace your unique strengths, break free from imposter syndrome, and build the confidence to lead authentically. You’ll learn how to foster collaboration, empower others, and create environments where everyone—including you—can thrive. Leadership isn’t just about getting to the table; it’s about showing up as your fullest, most unapologetic self once you’re there.
Cecily is an excellent mentor and teacher. Her expertise in human resources, combined with her transformational approach to relationships, changed the way I approached my career.

Intentional Life Design
-
It’s easy to lose yourself in the busyness of life—juggling career demands, cultural expectations, and the endless list of responsibilities that come with success. On the outside, everything might look great. But inside, you might feel disconnected, unfulfilled, or like you’re simply going through the motions.
You deserve more than just existing—you deserve a life that feels meaningful and aligned with who you are at your core. But designing that life requires intentionality: creating space to reflect on your values, rediscover your dreams, and make choices that honor your vision.
Together, we’ll help you peel back the layers of “shoulds” and expectations to uncover what truly matters to you. By aligning your goals and everyday decisions with your deepest values, you’ll craft a life that feels balanced, authentic, and uniquely yours.
Cecily did more than just coach me, she supported me every step of the way. Cecily always considered my life and needs, helping me reach appropriate life altering decisions on my own terms.

Meet Cecily
Hi, I’m Cecily Witt-Muhammad, CEO and founder of askCecily Coaching & Consulting.
For over two decades, I’ve dedicated my career to Human Resources and Leadership Development, but my true purpose goes far beyond corporate success. As a coach, I help Black women overcome cultural money barriers, step confidently into leadership, and design lives that align with their deepest desires and values.
Why do I do this work? Because I’ve walked this path myself. I’ve faced the weight of inherited money narratives, the pressure of cultural expectations, and the desire to lead a life that truly speaks to me. I know how it feels to want more but not have a roadmap that aligns with who you are.
That’s why I created askCecily Coaching & Consulting—to offer a safe, empowering space where women like you can rewrite their stories, build wealth on their own terms, and thrive at the intersections of life, leadership, and financial freedom.
