Market Like A Pro Virtual Keynote Presentation, January 15, 2022

“Sheryl, you really made a difference at our (virtual event). You demonstrated all my favorite Greek words ETHOS (established credibility) LOGOS (established common ground) and PATHOS (created an emotional connection). At Harvard (yes, blatant name drop) I learned audiences remember 30-45 SECONDS of a speech – if Sheryl’s speech were the example, that hypothesis would be null! The nugget queen – SO many memorable phrases, visuals, and opportunities to say, “that’s right.” KEY for an influential speaker.

(A note to a meeting planner) …Congratulations on getting a speaker that will set the right tone, send the right message, and get everyone’s attention for a fabulous day that I am certain you have planned.”

– Vicky Trabosh, Executive Coach

I recently had the honor to take Sheryl’s workshop: “Speak And Market Like A Pro: The 10 Must-Haves in the Speaking Business.” It was a game-changer for an emerging speaker like me. She taught us how to re-word our content so they are more attractive to event planners and our audiences. Her marketing method is simple yet effective. It is applicable to your website, LinkedIn, and to the speaker one-sheet. I feel much more confident putting myself out there after her workshop and coaching. Sheryl is personable, generous, and genuinely cared for her students. I highly recommend Sheryl to anyone who is a novice or experienced in the speaking world. Sheryl will teach you how to rock your boat in the most brilliant way!!!!
