I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sherri in an important time in my life. Her ability to get to the heart of whatever issue you are going through is a wonderful opportunity to really make a transformation in your thinking, your possibilities and your vision. I would highly recommend her to anybody who wants to make a transformation in their lives, find and live their purpose.

Everyday since our work together I have grown, everyday I act on my urges more, everyday I take permission, everyday I see my impact and take full responsibility, everyday my life seems like a dream come true, everyday my possibilities grow, everyday I dare to be bigger, everyday my ego gets smaller, and everyday I am making a difference. And everyday when I bow my head or raise it to the sky to be grateful and to count all my blessings, I say thank YOU Caroline, thank you for you.

You should know, I think of you often, usually while I am driving, always with the intention to write you a long email with all of the ways I notice that your leadership has impacted my life. Know when you get a ‘ping,’ that is me saying, ‘Caroline, the work you do is amazing, and a gift, and I continue to learn from you every day.

Seriously, Caroline is so spectacular that I would love to take a leadership program again just to experience it again with her. It is one of the most important and life changing things I have ever done. I hold the experience in the same category as getting married and having kids. ...No matter how ready I thought I was, I wasn't prepared for all the learning and all the richness that this experience held for me.
