Maximize Performance

“Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximize their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them. Clients say coaching brings out their best by helping them focus, break down tasks and clarify their values.” – Fortune Magazine

ROI of Coaching

“A Fortune 500 firm engaged Metrix Global LLC to determine the business benefits and return on investment for an executive coaching program. The bottom line: coaching produced a 529% ROI (that’s $5 for every $1 spent on coaching) as well as significant intangible benefits to the business. When the financial benefits of employee retention were rolled into the mix, the ROI was nearly eight to one, or 788%.” Source

Increased Productivity

“Companies that offer training alone experience 22.4% increase in productivity, but when combined with coaching that figure rises to 88%.” Source

What our clients say about coaching

Strong support and guidance

“Sheryl respectfully and thoughtfully asked the challenging questions that I needed to answer honestly for my own growth professionally and personally. Her mentorship empowered me to acknowledge my self worth and the power of being self assured. Sheryl encouraged me to celebrate the small wins that lead to the larger accomplishments.

If you are ready to make a change, watchout, because Sheryl will not skip a beat! My 3-5 year career path sped up to a 1-2 year plan after 6 short months of coaching with Sheryl. She will support change, guide you to a plan, and empower you towards greatness. When you work with Sheryl, get ready to make things happen!”

Caitlin Hunter

Marketing Manager

A strong, positive impact

“My coaching sessions with Sheryl have had a strong, positive impact on my professional success. Prior to working with Sheryl, I was often overwhelmed with large scale projects and struggled to get started. By asking questions, Sheryl helps me to think through and identify the necessary steps to complete projects. I am also able to better communicate the project plan to my team. Sheryl empowers me to develop solutions that are actionable, measurable, and deliver the end results my superiors desire.”

Caroline Thomas

Sales and Operations

Immense clarity

“In my coaching sessions with Sheryl, I’ve gained immense clarity on major issues and decisions plaguing me personally and professionally. At the beginning of our first session, Sheryl said “What you bring to the table, is what you’ll get out.” And with Sheryl, you truly get out what you put in. She has a way of putting me at ease while still challenging me. Sheryl asks the hard questions and challenges me to deeply self-reflect before answering. Her ability to help me tackle the heaviest of problems and explore resolutions has empowered me to make hard decisions with confidence. With Sheryl, I was able to clarify and articulate my goals. I would absolutely recommend Sheryl’s coaching!”

Kevin Wilson

Director of Technology

Empowering me to become a better leader

“Sheryl is empowering me to become a better leader through professional coaching. While I bring a lot of practical experience to my role, I do not have the same level of technical expertise that many of my colleagues and direct reports have. Sheryl has helped me to assert myself as a team leader that brings value and is respected by my peers. She is molding me into the leader that I want to be!”

Rebecca Brown

Director of Customer Service

Sessions are a safe space

“Sheryl exudes passion and energy, which is contagious. Further, our sessions are a safe space for completely honest discussion. I feel comfortable asking her a wide range of questions, from the most basic things to complex topics. She’s been more than just a resource. She’s been a coach in the true sense of the word – believing in me, encouraging me, pushing me to draw from my own experiences to develop my own solutions, rather than just being prescriptive.”

HR Professional

Exceeds all my expectations

“Being a health and wellness coach, I thought I understood the value of engaging with a business coach. After working with Sheryl, I realized that I underestimated the benefits. Sheryl exceeds all my expectations. She is compassionate and able to connect with me on a human level while helping me with my business. I would recommend her to anyone looking to grow or improve their business.”

Beth Donovan, CMC

Health and Wellness Coach

Empowered me to identify my options

“I started my business, Cake and Confetti, in 2013 and have taken it in several directions over the last 6 years. In December I was at an interesting crossroads- do I outsource to try to scale and grow or am I content where I am? I needed someone that was seasoned and understood my position as a female entrepreneur and mother. Sheryl empowered me to identify my options, navigate the pros and cons of each, and pinpoint the direction that I really want to take Cake and Confetti. With Sheryl’s help, my vision is becoming a reality. I highly recommend Sheryl for anyone looking to make the same transformation.”
