Client Testimonials
|
I help a variety of clients from early stage founders, to large corporate execs and anything in between. Having been a Product Manager myself, I'm especially skilled with product-related fields and challenges. I also help people who are in between or "on deck" to starting a new company or career. I value diversity and bring a diverse perspective to my coaching as well.

"Cheryl's quick insights have been such a timely gift for me; she is especially helpful to me as an early-stage founder when there are so many competing priorities and important decisions to be made and in the company.
She's candid, thoughtful & has relevant experience as an operator that shines through. Getting her perspective on anything from how to best roll out new processes to how to navigate some key challenging conversations proved valuable again & again. I would highly recommend Cheryl's coaching to anyone who is looking to level up." ~ Ebere Anosike, Founder & CEO, ThankYouKindly |
"Cheryl has the unique breadth of experience of having been a founder as well as an operator in both small and large companies across different geos. I was looking for an executive coach that is well-versed in both startups and larger corporations, and with knowledge of both American and Asian working cultures, and she fit exactly that.
Cheryl is able to traverse from the very practical (e.g. frameworks and best practices to help improve team operations and processes) to emotional intelligence (e.g. techniques to lead without authority). She listens with empathy and humility, and is also very resourceful, often suggesting various books and articles to check out to learn more. I am also fortunate to have someone help think through challenges between personal and professional." ~ Malcolm Ong, SVP of Product, South China Morning Post |
"Cheryl was a good listener, and active advisor. Working with Cheryl helped me focus and navigate the challenges of being an early stage founder. As a result of Cheryl's coaching, I feel better equipped to make strategic decisions, to avoid postponing the hard decisions, and to utilize specific measures to increase my productivity. These are common issues for founders in this stage. I got a lot of value from sessions with Cheryl in identifying what to focus on, and how to manage relationships with business partners."

"I really enjoyed working with Cheryl and our sessions helped me take tangible next steps in my job, as well as push me to think about what I wanted bigger picture. She helped me work through the barriers I had in asking for a promotion and gave me strategies to work through them. Before discussing with my manager, Cheryl role played the conversation with me and we worked through a few scenarios. It helped calm my nerves, be better prepared, and last but not least, stop procrastinating on having the conversation!"
