I highly recommend Sheryl for her focus, people skills, and effectiveness.” Peter O’Hanrahan, Trifold Ennegram School

I know I am a much more effective leader as a result of my work with Sheryl. She is a visionary change agent, remarkably bright, clear, and very powerful. A rare find indeed!” D.

Coaching: Entrepreneurship & Career Development
“Wow! What an incredible session last night. I cannot thank you enough Shera! Amazing! I was laughing, singing and jumping up and down like a mad woman the whole evening! I am grateful to you and just who you are as a person. Grateful for all the experiences you have had as they have all contributed to who you are today, an incredibly strong, powerful, confident, loving, spiritual, ambitious woman. Thank you for helping me reconnect with my purpose, and support me in developing goals and actions, so empowering and life changing for me! So grateful to have met you and to have found the perfect coach for me and where I am at right now.” Melissa Echeverri

“Sheryl is a no-nonsense, action-oriented consultant. She understands the challenges of a small business owner/social entrepreneur and asks questions that go straight to the core. As a result or our sessions, I now have a marketing message and presence that is more authentic and transparent, and allows me to really connect with and meet the needs of my clients and customers. She is a savvy, creative professional that walks her talk, down-to-earth and fun to work with.” -Steven Sodokoff
******************
“I was immersed in my day -to -day business, unable to lift my head up long enough to remember the long -term vision, what got me started, and who else I wanted to bring along. Sheryl’s very focused questioning and assistance with short and long-term goal setting has helped me to feel calmer, more in charge of my business, and also to recognize that the hiccups along the way may well be necessary side excursions.
“The Future is Now” exercise I seized on immediately and it sits on my laptop desktop, in the middle, all on its own. It is the first thing I see when I click to open, the last thing when I click to close. I visit it regularly, see if I am on track, modify it occasionally to bring in new realities.” Green Mary, Business Owner, Sustainability Educator
******************
“I was referred to Sheryl (Coach Shera) by a colleague. Before our first coaching session, I had been searching for work for over 5 months with very few callbacks. Her process is dynamic, creative, results-oriented, realistic, and very insightful. Shera crafted a brilliant resume and a strategic career branding plan for me- turning my call back rate from sluggish to Slammin’!
Within 6 1/2 weeks of working with Shera, I accepted an offer for my “dream job.” I couldn’t be happier with the progress I’ve made in my career and have retained her services for the past 18 months . As a result, I am still with the same company, and ready for a significant promotion. It goes without saying that she’s the first person I turn to for career management advice and decisions. I am grateful every day that Shera is on my team!” Bill Polits, Operations Manager

I decided to take some additional time off and started the job search two weeks ago. The good news, I’ve landed a job and start on Monday. It’s a great job offering $11k more than in my previous position. Thanks so much for your help; you always have the BEST guidance and suggestions. J.L, New Media Marketing Specialist
******************
I’ve never been this excited about a job in a long, long time. You always talk about doing something you are passionate about and now I am surrounded with a whole bunch of people who are passionate for who they work for and what they are doing. It is a pretty neat feeling!
“I really did appreciate all your help in preparing my resume and helping me prepare for those stressful interviews. The most important thing you did offer me were direction, focus and confidence especially at a time when I was the most frustrated, angry and feeling much despair. You kept me feeling positive and good about myself and never let me give up. Thank you for all your support and belief in me.” Paul M., Vancouver City Planner- Transportation

Thank you so much!! I would’ve never had this opportunity with E-Women Network if it wasn’t for you. I’ve learned so much from you, and I’m really excited what it has led to. I can’t wait to discover what other roads will be open in the future. Our course was really special, and I know as we reach our success, we will always think of you. You’ve given us all your extraordinary gifts. Sunny, President, Clothing Designer 5’2″
