Professional Coaching

Sheri can help you simplify your professional life, giving you the freedom to live your life the way you want to live it. The key to being a great leader or advocate and staying “on point” in a complex, fast-changing environment is the ability to stay centered and in the moment. To bring patience and a clear mind to the process, which prevents stress and overwhelm from clouding your view. You are more effective as a leader or advocate when you smooth out the roller coaster of intensity that sometimes comes along with the public policy or board process.
