I'm Courtney "Cici" Garmhaus.
If there’s one thing the aviation industry teaches you, it’s how to stay steady when the air gets choppy. My career started in one of the most volatile environments imaginable - a place where mergers, labor disputes, bankruptcies, and breaking news cycles can show up faster than a gate change at ATL. It turned out to be the perfect training ground for the work I do today: helping organizations navigate major transitions with clarity, confidence, and a whole lot less turbulence.
For more than twenty years, I’ve partnered with leaders across airlines, nonprofits, labor unions, PE-backed companies, and small businesses to tackle the moments that define an organization’s future. I’ve guided teams through restructurings, culture shifts, litigation, rapid growth, and full-scale reinventions. Whether the challenge calls for a unified narrative, a crisis game plan, or communication that brings people together instead of leaving them guessing, I bring a blend of strategic insight and hands-on support that keeps everyone aligned and moving forward.
Today, I help organizations turn uncertainty into momentum. When change is inevitable - or already at your doorstep - I’m here to make sure your people understand the “why,” your message stays clear, and your business feels the full benefit of tailwinds instead of headwinds. Let’s chart a smoother path through whatever comes next.
