I am a leadership and business activator, dynamic speaker, advisor and coach, with a purpose to encourage and equip leaders for success. I bridge data-driven strategies with a people-first approach to prepare leaders and teams for this new AI-driven, paradigm-shifting world.
My 25+ years’ journey experience in male-dominated fields, reflects a "yes-and" career philosophy, embracing many varied roles culminating in the creation of InPower Strategists. I am guided by my Christian values and commitment to ethical leadership in all I do, seeking to help others understand themselves, their choices, and their impact on others. With my love of business, the natural outcome is to equip leaders, align teams, impact culture, engagement and the bottom line.
I'm a new author, currently working on a new book, working title "Aspire to Lead", laying out my philosophy and Leadership Success Model. I was blessed when my first, co-authored book 'People Fusion' reached #1 top seller list in 10 Amazon categories'. My motto, 'Be In-Powered to Be Empowering,' both defines this foundation, and the value individuals, teams companies and the world receive when we choose the right leadership.
3 Personal Things About Me:
Everyone has a life less ordinary, if only we look at it the right way. My lies in my choice of the outcome I wanted, even in the face of the many un-welcome events that could have negatively impacted my life forever. Everyone's journey is unique, as is what we do with it. When people hire me, whether to help their company and teams, or for personal insight, no matter the products I sell, such as The Predictive Index, which I love, they are really hiring me, what I bring to the table, whether I can help solve their problem, make their load easier, and help them achieve the future they want. So, I figured you should find out a little more about 'Cheryle'. Here are three aspects of my character that help illustrate who I am, and why I strive to inspire those around me.
1. My Pioneering Spirit: I've been blessed to live a renaissance life, or, according to one of my favorite books, a "Yes, And" life. Striving to succeed in the 1990's, in male-dominated fields, coupled with my upbringing - nothing in that said "be more". That came for my internal drive, even with others seeking to kill that aspect of me. My initial response is always "yes, I can; then I figure out how, Which means I also believe in using all the brains I have and all I can borrow. 2. Persistent Curiosity & Evergreen Mindset: I'm an enduring optimist, always seeking to uncover new possibilities, challenging myself and others to become more, do more, achieve more through breakthrough discovery, mindset change and choice.
3. Adversity as a Catalyst: It's easy to stay a victim, so many do, but the rewards are so much greater when you move through victim, survivor, thriver and overcomer and realize those words still had me looking back, living only an "in spite of" life. I choose to be a visionary, living my "because of, forward looking" life.
Now, for 3 Personal Things About Cheryle:
- I love my 1 husband, 2 kids, and my 2 1/2 cats, but am glad I have a sense of humor
- Great times require great people, but fine wine, fine food, fine chocolate (it worth a separate mention!) don't hurt!
- I use all of who I am and what I've learned, whether in business, with my husband, with my kids, with my friends, and when connecting with others. You do too, whether you realize it or not, so it's a great thing that the people who love us have a sense of humor as well.
