Business Coaching Testimonials

"Thank you for your coaching and support as I've grappled with questions and challenges, big and small.  I have noticed my thoughts, processes and self-evaluations change through the course of our work together.  I learned a lot from your questions, suggestions and affirmations.  You provided some communication skills and some specific language that continues to help me gain perspecitve and support where I need it.  Even though I felt that I was a decent communicator, I knew I could learn a lot from you, and I am glad I did. 

I think your communication style is one of the factors that helped me create space for growth and accountability.  The gift of gentle accountability kept me on task, but also didn't create added pain or stress when I didn't meet all of my goals in the times that I set for myself.  Ultimately, I felt I accomplished a lot and the effects were felt in my business and my self.

Aside from the qualities of our sessions and skills learned there, I appreciated the resources and books that you recommended.  This has been an all around success for me."

David Todd (Realtor)
"Cheri was instrumental in helping me successfully launch my coaching business, as well as supporting me as I made the difficult transition into being a caregiver for my elderly father. Cheri's coaching style is a great combination of compassion, pragmatism, and spirituality."

Sue Brundege (Coach)

“I met Cheryl when I was thinking about tackling the next level of my career. She helped me to clarify what I really wanted in my personal and business life and coached me without giving up when I was taking a detour in the middle. She is the very first professional coach that I have had and helped me to build the foundation towards my accomplishment today.”

Alice Tang (Financial Planner)
“I am very pleased with the results I have achieved as a direct result of working with Cheri as a coach - both in my business and personal life. She has helped me focus on what is important and to create plans to reach these goals. When I get stuck on something or in a rut, Cheri is great at asking the right questions to help me see the way to get past it. I highly would recommend her to anyone.”

Mike Wegener (Project Manager)
“Cheri has great insight and is extremely skilled at guiding one through issues that need to be addressed. She has the highest level of integrity and to top it all off she is an absolutely delightful person!”

David Taylor (CPA)
“I met Cheri at a business networking group I started, then met with her individually to find out more about her practice. I was so impressed with her insight, her genuineness, and her obvious skill. I would highly recommend Cheri for any business planning needs!”

Grace Antaris (Financial Planner)
“Cheri brings clarity, creativity and perspective to her coaching sessions. Together we were successful finding business generating activities that resonated with my values and personality AND activities that support my personal and family life. She means it when she says she helps business owners make more money and have more fun.”

Lorie Clements (Mortgage Broker - Now full-time Mom)
"I just wanted you to know how much I have enjoyed working with you as my professional coach. You have helped me to focus in on critical areas that I need to address, while helping me to achieve more balance in my life. I am a very private person and thought that I would be uncomfortable talking about professional and personal challenges. From the very start I felt very comfortable and at ease talking about my issues with you.

During the last three months of coaching you have surprised me with your insight. I would be talking about a particular problem and you would ask a single question that would open up my view of the situation and put it in a whole new light. I appreciate the way you point out a possible avenue to a solution and allow me to work through the options. While I am talking through the options you gently prod me to a plan of action with your observations. I think what makes it all work is that you make sure that I have ownership of my plan of action.

I am very pleased with the progress we have made and look forward to what may be accomplished in the future."

Bill Brooks (Referrals and Marketing Training)
"Cheri's coaching style isn't just about getting the job done, though that's my goal and it is happening. The subtle things she suggests, points out, and encourages help me make the internal changes that will stay with me for a lifetime."

Valerie Lyon (Aston Patterning Practitioner)

"Prior to working with Cheri as my personal success coach, I had difficulty focusing my energy on achieving professional and personal goals.  With Cheri's supportive guidance and optimistic approach, I have overcome many of the fears that had hindered my professional and personal achievements. 

Thanks to Cheri, I now have a solid foundation on which I can build upon, as well as a greater assortment of 'life tools' to use in shaping my future."

Michael "Wally" Walsh  (Massage Therapist)

“I have known Cheri for about 4 years. She was instrumental in coaching me through a career change and a difficult time in my life. Cheri is a savvy, smart business woman with a wonderfully compassionate heart. She is accepting and non-judgmental, yet she is strong in holding her clients fully accountable for their intentions. She is resourceful, creative, dynamic, and embraces personal growth.”

Tim Alexander (Coach and Teacher)

"Cheri helped me gain the confidence I needed to prepare my business exit strategy.  Within 6 months of coaching I’d accomplished everything I needed to get my business on track.  Cheri showed me how to work less and accomplish more.  My goals included making quality time for myself which resulted in higher productivity because I was more focused.  Our work together was fun.  I would recommend her to anyone looking to improve their business."
