What Clients Say

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 would highly recommend her to anyone.
Mike Wegener, Project Manager (Contract) - Intel
Cheri is an excellent trainer, mentor and facilitator. She facilitated large group panel discussions on a variety of leadership topics as well as led classroom training sessions. She was always extremely professional, on point and knew how to connect with a variety of different people. She was both a mentor and a role model for me as I assisted with the implementation of a leadership development program in our department. She provided invaluable advice as I grew my own mentoring skills. She was supportive while at the same time holding me accountable for my growth. She truly is a mentor who knows how to help people grow themselves!
DeeAnn Thomson, Senior Finance Manager - Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL)
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 perspective and support where I need it. 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.
David Todd, Coach & Consultant - The River Now
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, Senior Facilitator, Coach & Consultant - Integrated Work Strategies
Cheri was a pleasure to work with. She is an excellent trainer and was integral in the implementation of a new leadership program here at SEL. I was able to see Cheri in action, training new employees as part of our new employee orientation process, and I felt that I learned something new every time I saw the presentation. Her passion and pride for educating and training is evident in everything I’ve seen her do.
Jason VanGeelkerken, Library Assistant - Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL)
Cheri 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, Instructor - Portland Community College & Life/Business Coach - Tim Alexander Coaching
I really enjoy Cheri’s teaching style. I’ve taken leadership classes led by Cheri, and she asks thought-provoking questions and mixes in her own experiences with the learning materials, and she always seemed very well prepared. Regarding her coaching, Cheri’s presence is great. As a fellow coach, I really appreciated Cheri’s ability to focus in on what I needed and help me to get to resolution by asking tough questions in a very respectful manner. And on top of all that, Cheri is a hard worker and a fun person to work with!
Eric Torok, Senior Business Analyst - Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) & Business/Life Coach - Let's Coach
I met Cheryl when I was thinking about tackling the next level of my career.

She is the very first professional coach that I have had and she helped me to build the foundation towards my accomplishment today.

Robert Brereton, Market Manager, Mining and Paper - Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL)
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 which I can build upon, as well as a greater assortment of ‘life tools’ to use in shaping my future.

Chris Clippinger, PE, Region Manager - Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL)
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.

She means it when she says she helps business owners make more money and have more fun.

Cheri is excellent as a trainer and a meeting facilitator. She always did an excellent job while teaching several courses on leadership and mentoring at SEL.

She was clearly an important contributor to the success of our leadership training program.

Jeremy Nickels, Vice President of Finance - Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL)
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.

Cheri is not only an effective mentor, but also a gifted trainer in helping others become effective mentors as well. She demonstrates commitment and capability to support employee’s growth and development and integration into the established company culture. She demonstrates the subject knowledge necessary to effectively articulate and teach. Cheri demonstrates honesty and integrity via effective communication skills both verbally and non-verbally. She constantly helps develop skills of fellow employees through guidance, feedback, and occasionally, an insistence on appropriate actions or performance. I witnessed her ability to support diverse individuals who did not share her skills or background but that were guided toward common goals.
David Dolezilek, Technology Director - Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL)
