What People Are Saying

“I would absolutely recommend Sherry to coach other leaders at my company. She demonstrated a tremendous depth of emotional intelligence and insight in the early stages of the engagement, as she worked with me to define our goals. She asked great questions that I normally don’t take the time to consider, which pushed me to think about key elements of leadership and management skill that I hadn’t in the past. She’s a fantastic listener, and kept me honest as we discussed aspects of emotional intelligence from various angles. Sherry integrated various tools and frameworks that seemed to be introduced just at the right time to push us forward and continue to progress against our objectives.”

K. Bennett, Director
Marketing Strategy and Analysis, Medical Devices

“Sherry, it was a truly rewarding experience working with you on the Now What program.  I’m a much happier person now and you can’t put a price on that!  I really appreciate everything you did for me. What I loved about the program is that you got me to really focus on my passions and showed me how to take action and pursue those avenues.  For me, I’ve always been interested in the entertainment industry.  I love comedy and music.  Through your program I pushed myself to enter a stand-up comedy contest where I came in 3rd and it was an experience I’ll never forget.  I also pushed forward with my trumpet playing and my cable TV show. One thing that really rang true for me in your program was that when you pursue what you love you get to be the person that you were really meant to be.  I’m forever grateful to have worked with you and I recommend you very highly! Thanks!”

L. E., Senior Vice President
Staffing Industry

“I do not know where to begin. This opportunity to meet and work with Sherry has been one of the best experiences I’ve had. We got to talk about my emotions, my needs, my qualifications and most importantly, I got to analyze my strengths and weaknesses. Sherry has given me the tools to embrace the future with intelligence and I THANK HER for it. Sherry was amazing!”

G. Bentley, Senior Systems Analyst
Financial Services

“I have been extremely fortunate in having Sherry as an instructor and a mentor coach. Her depth of knowledge and understanding of the coaching process, combined with her sincere and empathetic style make her an outstanding coach. I would highly recommend Sherry to any leader who wants to achieve higher levels of success.”

S. Tocco, Certified Professional & Business Coach & Leadership Development Consultant
Coaching Industry

“I’m grateful for a more holistic view of my next life chapter. I sought out coaching from Sherry to assist me with my plans for retirement because of our professional association. What I thought would be a plan to figure out what I will do with my time and whether I have the money to do it, became a journey of discovery. We looked at my passions and drives and where these come from, as well as alignment with my values. This process made for a more thoughtful and well-rounded approach to retirement for what I hope to be a fulfilling new chapter in my life. Sherry helped me explore and look at things I had not considered or thought about on my own. I’m grateful and excited about my future. Thank you, Sherry!”

E. Cryan, HR Business Partner
