Are you ready to grow your creative business? Coaching to help you thrive, not just survive

Before Sheryl, I was hurtling through life, a ‘YES’ machine in guilt overdrive, all balls in the air, with no end goal. Sheryl helped me to unravel my work ethic and lay it bare. She has given me a toolkit that I will draw upon again and again. She has provided me with nuggets of wisdom, life hacks, seemingly obvious solutions that I’d have never thought of.

Beyond that, a new confidence in myself and my choices. I feel I’m much closer to the great mystery that is, a work-life balance as a working mother. I would wholly recommend her as your life, business and creative coach.

It is testament to the session we had that so much has happened since. I can’t say everything has been down to that conversation, but it was certainly the catalyst. Aside from having new tools to cope with the lockdown, it spurred me to do something I had been meaning to do: write a book. Six weeks later, I have a first draft of 71,000 words.

Having a creative endeavour, a new artistic challenge to unravel during the coronavirus crisis, not only kept my mind off the horrors of what was happening outside my door, not only did it cushion me from the boredom of inactivity, it consumed me. I loved it! My mind stayed in the story well after I had finished tapping away at my computer. So thank you, Sheryl. You’ve been a wonderful support and you gave me the kick to try something I hadn’t been able to do!

I’ve been working with Sheryl now for about four months and the difference in my confidence and clarity as a professional is significant. I feel much more in tune with myself, my energy, and my ability to not only navigate what can be at times challenging professional relationships but more importantly, the relationship I have with myself. When it comes to the work I take on and execute, my vision is much clearer and more balanced.

Sheryl is wise, direct yet considerate and generous with her time and energy. She has helped me get on the track I’ve always wanted to be on with the way I approach my professional work. The skills I have been learning with her are spilling over into my personal life, too. My only reservation in recommending her is that she will become too busy to work with me!

Sheryl helped me to order my chaos without losing any of my creativity. She’s given me a much greater sense of the value of my work and ultimately myself.

She also gave me new insights into how my physical state affected my work. I look forward to each session, and could continue these conversations forever!

The last 12 weeks have been an amazing journey. I have moved out of some pretty fixed beliefs that I held onto for too long, and I feel I am growing again. Being creative often means working in isolation, so learning that I am not alone with some of my fears and processes was a huge relief.

I look forward to our sessions. They’re the best part of the week! These aren’t everyday conversations. They are purposeful dialogues with real results.

Oh, the dark days before Sheryl! The hours were long, the nights sleepless, and the income low. I was moving forward, but at a snail’s pace. It was frustrating, but I’d just decided that was How Things Had To Be.

I’m now working less hours and making more money. Setting my income goal for the coming quarter, I realised I’d already exceeded it in the previous quarter. So I had to set a more ambitious one! Sheryl should come with a warning, really: “Working with me may result in you achieving your goals earlier than anticipated.”

I sleep much better, thanks to boundaries I’ve put in place with Sheryl’s kind but firm, no-fluff coaching. I’m no longer working weekends, and I’ve taken a month off. I’ve also quit vaping and I’m exercising more. I’m feeling much more confident now. I’ve realised my super-duper organisational skills are a creative strength rather than something to be hidden away, and my business has started to soar.

I started working with Sheryl at a major transitional moment in my working life. I felt stuck in old patterns. It was time to find a new way of using my creative skills, and take more risks in the way that I worked. As a single parent, with all the responsibility on me, it has always felt so hard to go freelance. Sheryl helped me open up a new path. I don’t see the roadblocks now, I just feel that I hold the key to a more fearless life.

She has walked a similar creative path to the people she helps. With experience, humour, straight-talking and a dash of holistic energy, Sheryl helped me see how I can now bring home the bacon for my loved ones while finding more balance in everything – and taking more risks. She made change feel exciting and fun. I am finally on my way to juggling it all – and enjoying it more!

When I began working with Sheryl my confidence was low, and I felt there were many things blocking my progress. It is very hard to look back to how I was before, as so much has changed for me.

The results have been amazing. Sheryl is a consummate coach, gentle and able to challenge me in a supportive way.

I feel that my life is opening up. I’m more comfortable with who I am, and can see how I can fulfil my purpose. I’m extremely grateful to Sheryl, and would recommend her to take anyone on an exciting journey to a new way of life.

Sheryl is an amazing coach. She always guided me appropriately and with great care, making suggestions as to how I could progress on key challenges, but also on how I could also make my journey to my goals fun and enriching, and always with an eye towards becoming the greatest version of myself.

I have no hesitation in highly recommending Sheryl as a coach. I feel like my life has taken a massive turn for the better in the space of 12 short weeks!

For years I juggled running a festival with family life and earning enough to live. Although I worked long days with little time off, I loved it and just about kept my head above water. But my energy levels and resilience were low, and it didn’t take much to knock me off balance. I began to feel overwhelmed by my workload, depressed and increasingly lacking in confidence. It became a downward spiral that left me feeling paralysed.

Sheryl listened to my fears, helped me find perspective and develop strategies to cope. Helping me to recognise my strengths, she peeled back the layers of insecurity and allowed me to reconnect with the person inside that I had lost.

Supporting, challenging and guiding, she gave me the awareness to recognise when my life is moving out of balance, and the tools to help me bring it back on track. I look back on the person I was three months ago, and I can’t recognise her. I want to thank Sheryl from the bottom of my heart for helping me find myself again.

A few months ago I was caught up in the turmoil of burnout and beating myself up for what felt like failing every day under a deluge of work and other commitments.

Coaching helped me reconnect with what I love about freelancing, and with what’s important to me. And – dare I say it – it’s helped me play and relax more.

Now I seem to get more done,. And when I do have a stressful day, I have a different perspective and better ways to deal with it.

Sheryl’s calm approach helped my work and my emotional wellbeing.

It’s a lonely business being self-employed, and I needed her unwavering support and encouragement.

My confidence has grown massively, and I believe in my creative skills again! 

When I first saw Sheryl’s website, I said to myself, “This is someone who can help me.”  I was right. 

In a single session, Sheryl was able to diagnose what I needed to do to boost my business. She told me what I was doing right and how to amplify that; and she pointed out where I could step up and be clearer. All along the way, Sheryl gave me concrete steps to take on multiple fronts: my website and figuring out how to connect with and find “my people”. 

Sheryl has a gift for seeing the best in a person, articulating that, and working from that to shore up any weak spots in very clear, actionable steps.  I am so glad I reached out for help – and I’m coming back for more!
