Helping leaders lead better

After 25 years of working in human resources and training, the concept of the truth through stories was realized. I thought if I had seen a theme of employee relations that could have been improved if situations would have been handled differently, then there had to be more to learn. So, I set out on a quest to hear from the world about their first-hand accounts in the workplace. The goal of these leadership trainings is to amplify the message that ‘now is the time for leaders to lead better’ as we approach the aftermath of the Great Resignation and Beyond.

About Sheri

I have had the pleasure of working in the field of HR and training for over 25 years. In that time, I have seen many employee relations issues that could have been improved if situations would have been handled differently. I, myself, have even been on the receiving end of some less-than-ideal management situations.

One day, I had the idea that if I (a HR professional) was aware of so many first-hand experiences where proper leadership could have improved employee relations, there had to be more to learn. So, I set out on a quest to hear from the world about their first-hand accounts with leadership in the workplace.

The practical leadership lessons have been carefully developed by combining real stories shared from real people with time-tested leadership principles. It is time to break the mold and start transforming the way leaders lead and employees perform. My training sessions and workshops provide you with the tools you need to inspire you to become a more effective leader and positively impact workplace culture.

I look forward to seeing you in a workshop, conference, or coaching session. I invite you to share your story with me so that we can inspire future leaders to lead BETTER.

Training through Storytelling

Through personal experience and collecting hundreds of shared stories from real people, it is time to break the mold and start transforming the way leaders lead and employees perform. Each training session and workshop provide you with the tools you need to become a more effective leader. The real change comes when you dedicate your time and energy to put these in to practice with your team. Times have changed over the last few years and employees are no longer willing to take a backseat to the age-old way of management in organizations.
