Founder & Executive Director at Aspire Training Academy

Before doing the 7-Week BREAKTHROUGH program with Cheryl, I was a very highly stressed individual. I always have a lot on the go, and I often found it challenging to manage all my commitments. And now I have developed some very essential skill to navigate this and have found an insane reduction in my stress levels. This program, without a doubt, has had a tremendous impact on me and my mental wellbeing. I absolutely loved the short videos that cover some key concepts and then we are led to explore and practice these concepts in our everyday life. The App is quite intuitive and easy to use. I found the Group meeting especially useful as it helped hold us accountable. Cheryl is a great coach and leader. She allowed for open dialogue and discussion. She is never quick with a solution, but allows us to explain, explore and then arrive at solutions that means the most to us. She is very easy to talk to and fun!! She made every session exciting, fun and lively! I did this with my partner, and we have seen a tremendous improvement in our relationship. I have seen the impacts in my work-life, my home-life and in creating a beautiful work-life balance. The beauty of this program is that it is both intellectual, as well as intuitive. It has the power to meet you where you are and enable you to connect with the content, ideas, philosophies in a way that is meaningful for you. This 7-week program is a skill-building program. It sets you up with the tools required to navigate the rest of your life. I couldn't recommend Cheryl's program more!

Before doing the BREAKTHROUGH program, I was somewhat depressed and had a difficult time motivating myself to do anything. Since finishing the 7-week intensive I have more energy- and the negative thoughts, while still there, are becoming less and less. The challenging thoughts that remain are now eased away by a growing sage that feels empowering and life-affirming.

I loved the program, from start to finish, and only have positive things to say about all aspects of it. Shirzad Chamine is a new hero for me. His combination of brilliance and kind humanity is striking. His book and videos are filled with so much information as well as encouragement! The app is easy to use and works well to keep you up to date with what your next moves are, and how to evaluate the strengths that you're building. The Mastermind felt like an integral part of the program for me. To have people available every day to connect with about the work we were doing --- made all the difference. 

Cheryl is a one-of-a kind coach. She is so intuitive and smart (she has both the left and right brains going strong!) that everything she shared was upbeat, positive, and helpful. 

I feel that every person looking to live a happier, calmer, more meaningful life could benefit from this program. It's not a one-size fits all program. Each person has their own work to do, but the basic premise that we have negative thoughts that keep us from living our potential is true for all. But how you go through the program is an individual experience- where your life and experiences guide the material. My hope is that students in High School and college can gain access to this program-- and use it as they begin their life's journey without the weight of doubt and fear that plague so many. But no matter what age you start-- it has the potential to bring you success, however that is defined for you- and a greater sense of peace overall.

My experience with Cheryl has been wonderful. The change I have seen in myself has been like taking a breath of fresh air. I am convinced that her skills, knowledge, and ability coupled with her generous spirit, can lead to life-changing results. In my progress, Cheryl has been supportive and I feel like she truly cares about the success of those she works with. I have been so impressed with Cheryl's abilities, not only in helping me but also in bringing about positive change in my older daughter, I have now signed up my younger daughter to also work with her.

Cheryl is an exceptionally talented life coach. I met Cheryl at a phase when had sold my last startup, was ready to retire financially but felt unsure of what to pursue professionally. She refocused attention on my strengths and advantages to eliminate fear of starting from square one. She has a no-nonsense attitude and a laser sharp focus; she directs the same energy into your businesses. Every time I finish a meeting with Cheryl I always look forward to the meeting summary which always makes me aim higher and push my own boundaries. I'm very happy to have worked with her during this next phase of growth to pursue new ideas and set up multiple startups. Her strengths: Positive, Compassionate, Focused, Goal oriented

At the outset I looked at NLP with a lot of skepticism and it was only because I trusted Cheryl that I decided to give it a shot.

She has the ability to make you believe and it comes very naturally to her. As sessions go by, she makes you comfortable enough to open facets of yourself which you wouldn’t share with anyone. This enhances her understanding and empathy of you and enables her to perform the various NLP techniques with great effect. The clarity and pin-pointedness with which Cheryl helped my situation is something which has made me understand and manage myself better. I am a better-focused and more energized version of myself. There are obvious improvements in my speech, body language, mental state of being and most importantly i am a tad bit spiritually enlightened. Hand over your absolute 100% trust to her and she will go beyond what is required to help improve your life. She has the emotional and mental maturity as well as the talent and technique to use her NLP skills and understanding to help channel you in the right direction.

Cheryl and I first met in 2010 – she was my senior at work. But Cheryl was more than just a colleague and much more than a friend. She is a companion, confidant, advisor, moral supporter and yes, the best of friends.

When I began working for her, I was an extremely introverted, shy person. She allowed me to be me, but also encouraged me to let loose and open up to enjoy the virtues of life.
Brutally honest and sincerity are two of Cheryl’s assets. Her strengths are her patience and listening skills paired with her sense of humor and a touch of class. She will join you for a hearty laugh and give you a no-nonsense straight answer. Her word is good, no exception and she has a great smile. Her circle of friends is special; to be selected or embedded in the circle is an honor. Entertaining and funny, serious and compassionate. No matter what she’s doing, she is willing to listen and give you feedback if you want it. A friend in need.
For years, Cheryl was there to help me with several personal obstacles and years of self-doubt, for that, I am deeply grateful.
My personality, confidence and professional growth – a big part of the credit, I would give it to you Cheryl. People come and go into and out of our lives, but some people’s impact lasts forever. Thank you Cheryl.

I am more confident, happier and hopeful after the sessions with Cheryl. I resigned from my previous job where I couldn’t find my purpose and felt stagnated.

I realized it is ok to dream big and aspire for more even after being a tied down to a job for 10.8 years. I am taking time off to relax; find myself and not stress about being on the run all the time. I liked her positivity and friendliness. I didn’t feel judged and she respected my views and helped me understand things in a smarter way. I am inspired with the inspirational videos you share regularly with me. With the help of coaching I am able to share what I learnt from Cheryl with other friends who may have been going through a difficult time in their career or personal lives.
I would definitely recommend Cheryl to my friends and family members. They would be able to benefit from Cheryl’s knowledge. Cheryl is trustworthy and has a heart for helping others.

Cheryl has this contagious confidence in herself and the ability to build the same in you which makes you believe that you too can do it!

After just a couple of coaching sessions with Cheryl, I feel more determined to work towards my goal and felt positive to achieve them. I started working on the points we discovered during our sessions in their specific directions. There is a happiness in my overall mood and behavior.

Cheryl is smart, a fast-thinker and just asks the right question at the right time.

After coaching with Cheryl, I felt energised and ready to face challenges with my chin up. If you are considering coaching with Cheryl, then be ready to discover yourself In a very dynamic conversation.

Sarah Boase

Before doing the 7-week Program with Cheryl, I had very low confidence, I didn't trust in myself or my ideas, and I had a very negative outlook on most things in my life. I was also very concerned about what people thought of me, and all of these things together were really holding me back in life. Now, having done the program, I am the happiest and most positive I have been in a long time, and I have been able to start trusting myself a lot more in many aspects of my everyday life. Because of this, I'm starting to be able to live without the constant fear of failure, which has begun to remove a lot of stress for me. I found the videos and the guided app very useful, and I've already noticed big changes in my attitude. This whole program is so impactful and powerful. As for the group meetings, I found them really great since it meant there was an accountability aspect to it. My group reminded me and pushed me to keep on trying to improve while weakening my saboteurs every week. Cheryl was a fantastic coach and really helped me get the most out of the program. She listened wholeheartedly to what I was telling her, and she created a very safe and comfortable space for me to share my thoughts and feelings, which helped me gain the most from the program. She is super compassionate, dedicated and friendly, and was all around a great coach. Everyone has flaws and things they need/want to work on to increase their overall happiness, and I found this program truly helps you live life to the fullest and make the most out of every situation.

Jamie Lavers

Founder & Operations Manager at Aspire Training Academy

Before doing the 7-week BREAKTHROUGH program with Cheryl, I was stumbling imperfectly to keep up with my prayer and meditation practices. Now, I continue to stumble imperfectly with these things, but the program has taught me that this stumbling imperfection IS the practice.

 

It has taught me that I don't need to be perfect, or even perfectly consistent, I just need to keep trying and refocusing when I do lose focus. It has also opened my eyes to the possibilities of intermittent and short meditative practices which become practical and sustainable! That has been a huge game changer for me! 

 

The program as a whole is really great. While I found that about 3 of the modules / practices spoke to me deeply and were insanely beneficial, I can see the other modules having an equally profound impact on others who have walked a different path. I recommend it! 

 

Cheryl was a great coach / facilitator for this 7-week program! She was knowledgeable, open about her own struggles / benefits from using the program, and always had meaningful suggestions to improve practice and get the most out of the 7-week program. 

 

As the parent of a 5-year-old girl who has more emotional intelligence than most adults, I've found this program to be really, really helpful in guiding how I interact with her as a parent and the sort of things I can share with her to help her navigate her own feelings and avoid developing too strong of a saboteur early on. My hope is to help her grow those sage muscles to make her journey easier. 

 

The program specifically helped me because of the analytical aspect of the program. It guides you through the concepts and offers a framework for the intellectual mind to understand what is happening in the body emotionally. I feel like I've learned a lot about how I process emotions and even why I process them that way (or how the saboteurs choose to process the information for me). Everyone can benefit from that kind of insight!

Whitney Meza

Founder, The Wellness Blueprint

Cheryl is incredibly intuitive and a natural coach. She sensed other topics in the back of my mind that required attention. Cheryl is more helpful than most of the therapists I've had in my life. She is a true example of intuition, holding professional space, and collaboration. The whole package! I have a clearer direction on what I'd like to focus on and I owe this to powerful questions and expert coaching. Cheryl will - hands down - give you the space to change your life. I have never worked with someone so compassionate and intuitive.

Mario Deane Vaz

Founder, LiriCare

Cheryl is a mastermind! I knew within a few minutes of talking with her that she had the ability to guide me thru life-changing discoveries. I have a history of depression and anxiety. The moment I chose to rise above these traits and forge a new reality, Cheryls name popped up in my inbox via Noomi. Cheryls intelligence and gentle prodding has already helped me to let go of my negative energy and to reimagine a positive life filled with all I desire. I knew it would take work for me to make this switch. What I didnt realize is how crucial it would be to have a caring coach by your side. Cheryls wealth of knowledge and experience has provided countless book suggestions and talks. Each one has helped move me closer to my goals. Cheryl has also helped me keep track of the bigger picture. Without her Id be lost in a haze of great information without knowing what to do with it! Im grateful to Cheryl for coming into my life at the right moment, holding me accountable, and always cheering me on. I cant imagine a more insightful and engaged coach!

After I started getting coached by Cheryl my life has changed totally.

I became more open for change, less stressed and happy. My family are happy to have me back, loving and caring. My work has become more stable and I have a chance for professional learning and development. I am still working on my physical fitness and I am optimistic that I will reach my goals.
I like Cheryl’s smile, her care, her passion and the way she does follow up of the case and outcomes, in addition I like the different tools that she uses during the session. I have learned some leadership skills and personal skills in addition to the spiritual healing after taking up coaching. Thank you, Cheryl, for your kind care and support.

Cheryl has been a friend, mentor and guide for me.

I have worked with Cheryl over the past 14 months and I can term our engagement as a wonderful journey of discovering new things, acquiring new habits and learning how to utilize my 24 hours in the best way possible. The key thing I have learned working with Cheryl is how to replace my current habits with new better habits in a small and gradual manner. Now I am working towards setting new goals for myself and I feel more empowered to achieve them then ever before. I have realized that there is so much to achieve and best way to achieve your goals is to work with people who believe in you (like Cheryl).

Michelle B

It was the first time I had attended a private coaching session, so I was not sure at first how it would be.

Quite a few things changed such as I pushed hard to get a junior support staff to handle a key account with me so I could focus on other different projects. I’ve spoken to the top management about my appraisal.
It is very easy to communicate with Cheryl. Cheryl is focused and result oriented person who is not afraid to chase dreams and aspirations. And she passes on that way of thinking during interactions with her.
The benefits I have got is it has helped me to become an organized person. I keep a reminder of the goals set and work towards achieving them.

Tina Dsouza

Talent Acquisition

I was really looking forward to having a life coach for myself as I felt that its a time for me to work on myself personally and professionally.

Post our session, I had clarity in my thoughts and that helped me a lot in the way I was looking at things. I started making commitments and pushed myself to keep them. A few of the small, but important changes I have already experienced are as below:
– I attended Toastmasters meetings as committed
– I kept a diary of 3 Daily “To-Do’s” / or a weekly schedule ever since and has been able to follow almost 95%.
– I started going for yoga
I liked Cheryl’s approach towards me. Cheryl is a kind and non-judgmental person. At the same time, she is very particular. Her openness and non-judgmental attitude helped a lot in allowing me to express myself. She could get me back on track whenever I lost my focus while talking to her. I have become more introspective. This helps me in staying focused on the outcome that I want and constantly working on improving myself to achieve them.
I would definitely recommend Cheryl and her services as it is very important to have clarity in terms of what you want in your life and how you can achieve the same. I would recommend her coaching to someone who is seeking these answers or looking for this change in their life.
