You’d never guess that Sheryl was painfully SHY as a child. Her mother dragged her on her door-to-door Avon sales route, making her meet people. Then in high school, as the Commissioner of Pep she had to lead the sports rallies – in front of 2,000 fellow students and faculty. She couldn’t sleep for days before, spoke nervously and cried in private. Years later, as a business owner, she’d have trouble getting her name out of her mouth to introduce herself at networking meetings. One such meeting, a woman suggested she join Toastmasters, and Sheryl took that advice. Although she cried her first three speeches in the safety of her small club, was able to shift her fears, and go on to become a confident speaker!
Sheryl has over four decades of diverse experience and expertise in communication skills, public speaking, social media and print advertising. She started her first business at 16, and has owned five graphic design studios, becoming a speaker and author to help others valuable skills to use in their own businesses.
Combining her skills in speaking and marketing she created Speak And Market Like a Pro™ to teach speaking skills to professionals who want to expand into the business of public speaking. Sheryl is the ultimate speakers’ coach consistently creating rising stars in the speaking business and in their organizations. Through her insightful coaching, live and virtual how-to workshops she helps individuals bring out their brilliance and authenticity — in person, in public and in print.
