Tech Leaders
Leading in a startup.. or scaleup? You’ve built success and now you’re leading beyond your experience — and sometimes your comfort zone? You want to be an even better leader.
Would leadership coaching work for you? You like to learn — and you are open to growing as a human and a leader.
For 15 years, I’ve coached leaders in tech to be better leaders. I’d love to talk with you about your current challenges and opportunities — and what it can take to lead yourself and your team beyond. What my experience shows me, is that when you lead yourself, the rest will follow.

Women Leaders & Entrepreneurs
You are leading your business and team to places you haven’t been before. You are a pioneer in your own life, growing yourself while you grow the business.
I see you. I may even have been where you are. In my twenties I became the first woman in management in two technology-based companies. In my thirties, I ventured out with a female co-founder to start a brand marketing communications company that became one of Canada’s top 100 women-owned businesses. Now for 15 years I’ve coached business leaders and entrepreneurs.
In my coaching I offer an “informed mirror”, a sounding board whose only agenda is your success. Success as you define it. I bring a trustworthy space, certification in the Co-Active® model and a personalized approach to coaching honed over 15 years. You bring your real self, your real opportunities, your real challenges. When we work together, you can go beyond.
I’d love to connect with you!

“Cheryl helped me become a significantly better leader, communicator, and product manager. Though we worked together for a short time, she created an ever-lasting impact on my career, personal life, and business at large. In fact, Cheryl provided tooling that directly assisted in securing additional revenue - the ROI was clear.” - Product Manager, Tech
“Cheryl is a trusted and experienced executive coach, and a very successful leader and entrepreneur herself. She coached several people in my software engineering organization to develop their leadership capacity, building strong and supportive relationships with the coachees. With her coaching, these managers and directors developed their awareness of self and others, emotional intelligence and team leadership skills. Cheryl was also helpful to me as an informal advisor and mentor.” - VP Engineering
“Cheryl would listen to a problem and crack open a new perspective by asking a single powerful world-flipping question. She was very sensitive to my personal strengths/style while holding me accountable to getting out of my comfort zone.” - Engineering Manager
“A consummate professional, Cheryl, in essence, became a lens through which she first refracted and then reflected, the talents and strengths I had either not been able to see or to express in a compelling way. After working with Cheryl, I was not only more confident, but I had greater clarity about my specific value proposition. She is a gifted coach with profound insight - I cannot recommend her highly enough.” - Woman executive in career transition
