“After participating in Cheryl's coaching, I gained more clarity and connection to my own personal power, and felt more confident about my own abilities. Her unique process produces a profound and transformational change with long lasting effects. Cheryl brought an especially insightful perspective that helped me align with my core strengths, and offered new insights that provided inspiration and motivation. I now look forward to entering new or challenging situations with increased poise and certainty. Cheryl offers presentation skills coaching, but she is also a personal power/poise coach as well. Cheryl's workshop session is easily one of the best coaching experiences I have had. I consider our work together a wise investment, as I know it will lead to increased business success.”
—Suzanne Blake, Principal, The Blake Group.

Hi Mino,

As Wynne suggested, Cheryl Dolan is excellent for people with needs for presentation skills pr presence development. She addresses "on the surface" behavior, like being verbose, but also goes beneath the surface behavior to impact the client's overall presenation style. I have sent many of my own clients to Cheryl, and they come away with increased confidence and poise, a clear sense of their own most effective communication syle, and the tools to create effective and dynamic presentions.

Warm regards,
Suzanne Blake

”Cheryl has an enormous gift and talent for spotting and understanding what strengthens and what diminishes someone’s presentation, both in terms of style and content.  My work with Cheryl was fast, easy and powerful, enjoyable and effective, and most of all, extremely valuable in moving me forward as a top-notch presenter.  I unconditionally recommend Cheryl for anyone who needs to improve their message, delivery and power with an audience.  She is one of the best there is!”

"I found myself struggling and overwhelmed with the many tasks and considerations necessary to improve my public speaking skills. Cheryl helped me understand the process and simplify the tasks while all the time helping me to build my confidence level. Because of her wealth of knowledge and experience, she was able to pin point quickly what I needed and knew exactly what plan to create for my individual requirements. As a result of working with Cheryl, my last public speaking opportunity was a huge success. I got rave reviews and 6 new clients! I have finally found my voice and I now know how to access it successfully. I can feel my speaking career taking off. Thanks, Cheryl."

“I have had the pleasure of receiving Cheryl’s coaching and can speak first hand to her gifts of intuition, reflective listening, asking powerful questions, telling the truth in a way people can hear it, among others, to empower people to move forward in their lives.  She had me step into and embrace me, and my gifts, after just one session in her program.” 

— Andrea Novakowski, Master Certified Coach.

“I wanted to share with you how valuable the time we spent together was! The simple observation around my breathing has had a profound impact. Just last night, I was teaching a class and had a student (who was in one of my classes last year) tell me how much more "on" I am in this session; a significant contributor to my effectiveness is the awareness of breadth and posture that came out of our session.”

”I came to Cheryl expecting some help with onstage credibility.  I got much more: a thorough understanding of how I lose presence, how it expresses in my face, posture, and body, and most importantly, how to restore it with simple changes in weight and bearing.  Cheryl was great to work with, and I highly recommend her to transform your relationship with your body, voice and being.” 

— Stever Robbins, President, Leadership Decisionworks.

“One of the best presentations I have seen at WIND. You inspired our group of in-transition/unemployed professionals and helped them choose to learn better and more effective communication skills and styles. The audience could put these skills to use immediately in landing new work. The room was energized. And we had a ball-literally! Thanks!”

"The first thing you helped me with was my presence and how I showed up. You showed me what a difference it made when I came from a place of knowing - thus you helped me find a way to stand in confidence. It took a while to get to that place, and when it did, I saw how rooted I could be. It gave me access to believing in myself."

The second thing was all the work around the paper room. It brought a lot of my insecurities and silent demons to the surface and allowed me a safe place to debunk the "myths" I had convinced myself were true.

You helped me change my language... You have helped me change my voice - I now see how when I am calm and centered, I sound different. I sound so soft, (someone used the phrase like honey dripping!) and so peaceful, it translates to the other person.

You believed in me. You didn't "tell" me what to do . . . I think the real value for me was getting how what I did, was not serving me well at all. You showed me an alternative way to think, to frame my thoughts . . . All the work I did along side . . . was immensely helpful in conjunction with what you and I were doing...and it was a virtuous circle. Plus, you encouraged me to do these things and you helped me see the insights that I may have had a sense of but was maybe not able to bring it to the surface.

Basically Cheryl, you've opened up my access to my inner strength and I am incredibly grateful to you for that. Thank you”. Deepika Nath, PhD, MBA, Management Consultant

“The best way to describe my state of mind was frozen.  I was burning all of my energy in a profession that was depleting me physically and emotionally, which left few resources to tend to myself, my relationships and the other important aspects of my life.  I had no choice but to make a change.  I moved into action, visiting career counselors, taking personality and career tests, reading countless self-help books and attempting on my own to affect professional and personal changes.  Though I learned a great deal about myself through these efforts, the “life changes” I so badly anticipated were just not happening. It has only been through Cheryl’s coaching work with me that I have truly been able to make such changes.  Through weekly coaching sessions, she has enabled me to alter my current ways of thinking, and to perceive my life, others and my goals in a new and different light.  This newly-shaped outlook has empowered me in ways I never thought imaginable, enabling me to more effectively make professional and personal decisions aligned with my inner values rather than on the external forces that have been steering me (rather unsuccessfully!) for so long.  I owe this very real life transformation to Cheryl’s unique and successful coaching approach, in addition to her unwavering commitment in her work with me."
Maura Tourian, Clinical Instructor, MGH Institute of Health Professions.

“I began working with Cheryl to receive feedback and coaching relative to my presentation skills.  Within a very short period of time, I realized Cheryl could aid me with so much more.  Cheryl is a very insightful and energetic coach who has a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with her clients.  She truly listens and partners with me on every aspect of my life.  She has aided me to clearly identify the essence of me and how to maximize my talents, personally and professionally.  My vision for my life is becoming a reality and Cheryl has tremendously aided me to achieve this.  I highly recommend Cheryl and truly value her as my coach, colleague and friend”.
