The best investment I have EVER made.
It was Cheryl's no nonsense posts on LinkedIn that got my attention. I was in a rut, not knowing how to extricate myself from a futile work situation, certainly unable to communicate it openly, directly and with truth and not really knowing the direction I should take. This was having a serious effect on my self confidence, my friendships and most painfully, on my relationships with family.
One thing I did know was I needed guidance, support and from someone that was never going to shy away from telling me the hard truths if I needed to hear them.
From the initial scoping call, I knew she was the right person for me.... ok the Yorkshire connection certainly helped, but joking aside, it was evident from the first minute that we would be able to work together, that we would speak truth to each other and that she had the experience, empathy, understanding and fire to support me to the hilt and help me find my way.
I worked with Cheryl over 18 months and the results have been astounding. From the self sabotaging, blame throwing place I was in, to someone who now takes charge of their situation, deals with all situations empathetically, with clarity and truth and is now in their dream role as Head of Privacy & Data Governance, also a Chief Compliance officer for a fantastic charity AND part of research and development groups helping to change the face of Data in Real Estate and the energy sector..... it was THE best investment I have ever made. Period.
I cannot thank you enough Cheryl, your unswerving belief in me, in my capabilities and in me as a human are immeasurable and I am eternally grateful.
I've written this last statement many times.....
If you're wavering as to whether to engage with Cheryl or not.... stop hesitating and get on and do it. There is NO greater investment you can make other than in yourself... and being coached and mentored by Cheryl IS that investment you make in yourself.
I will happily talk to anyone in relation to my experience and the outcomes of the work we did.
JUST GET ON AND COMMIT. You will not regret it.
