Individual Coaching
Firm Foundation Program
Many people have great ideas. The only difference between those who are successful and those who aren't is the execution of a good plan. The Firm Foundation Program is designed to help you develop and then implement a good plan to take you where you want to go more quickly and easily than if you were working on your own. At the same time you will be learning new skills and tools that will help you move forward more effectively in the future.
We start with an assessment, followed by an in-depth initial session where we work together to paint a clear picture of what it is you want your life and work to be about, where you are now in relation to that, and how you would like coaching to support you in successfully implementing the necessary changes. In this first session, we begin putting together a specific action plan with measurable objectives for you to follow. And, if you're not quite sure what you really want, I can also help you figure that out.
After the initial session, we connect three times per month for three months-- typically over the phone. These coaching sessions help you uncover whatever is currently holding you back, so we can develop strategies to keep you moving forward. We also break your goals down into bite-sized pieces as we fine-tune your action plan. Focusing on smaller steps always makes it easier to achieve long-term goals. This also helps me keep you accountable, focused and inspired and (best of all) we get to celebrate your successes along the way! Consistent, focused action will give you the results you want. Maintaining consistent, focused action is what I support you in doing.
Upon completion of the initial three months, coaching converts to a month-to-month relationship. Depending on the size and scope of your project(s), you may choose to continue with your current schedule, you may decide you want to connect less often, or you may feel complete at that time.
Individual Intensive
Sometimes people want to dig in, put together a plan as quickly as possible, and hit the ground running. For those folks, I offer an individual two-day intensive, followed by three months of one-on-one coaching.
By the end of the 2 days, you will have clarified what is most important to you, gained insight into what has prevented you from creating what it is you want, created an action plan, and developed new skills for overcoming obstacles.
Then, for the next 3 months we will have coaching sessions three or four times per month, over the phone to keep you on track, help you through any rough spots and make sure you are steadily moving forward in the direction of your dreams. If you're on the fast track, and want powerful results in a hurry, this is the plan for you!
As with the Firm Foundation Program, upon completion of the initial three months, coaching converts to a month-to-month relationship.
Spot Coaching
Do you need help moving through an immediate issue or challenge? Would it be helpful to brainstorm or talk with someone who is not immediately a part of the current situation and can offer unbiased feedback? Do you just need a jumpstart?
Spot Coaching can help get things moving when you're feeling stuck and don't want to take on the commitment of a more formal coaching program.
Scheduled as available.

“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.”

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.”

pragmatism, and spirituality.”
Sue Brundege (Coach)

Cheri was able to help me increase my client base as well as my self esteem. I enjoyed working with her and would reccommend
her to anyone that is looking for a Coach.”
Lori Abrahamson (Mortgage Broker and Contractor)
"Thank you very much for all your help the last four months of personal coaching. It has really made a difference in my life.
I believe we connected because you understood all my needs both spiritually and in my business life. It is very hard to
balance both; you really tried to show me how to manage this sometimes-complicated process. I loved the way you had an
uncanny sense of my business and always had the right suggestions to give me. You have a very smooth way of handling any
situation and this was very calming to me as sometimes I was very anxious. I felt really good when I left every session.
Because of the coaching I organized my home office, which was a major feat. I also gained new clients, but most of all I
learned how to empower myself. I sincerely recommend you to anyone that wishes personal coaching."
Paula Felman (owner of
Money Mailer franchise)
"You were my champion and mentor, my teacher and my conscience. You were not afraid to challenge me to look beyond the
obvious and to consider the possibilities as I moved forward towards my purpose. As a result, I was able to move forward
more quickly towards my goals... The individuals I select to coach me are those who adhere to the principles of the profession
and are value based. You meet those critera and more. Thank you for being my coach... my champion."
Viki Jessop (Coach)
"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 actoin 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."
