Our Clients Say
I engaged Cheryl to assist me overhauling our outdated employee handbook, on the list for 2 years to update tone of voice, rewrite every policy and create 12 new policies and guides.
​
The final product is now reflective of our culture and provides a warm welcome to new (and current) employees while providing clarity on all things "working at Wesgroup". This critical, foundational Culture Guide now represents who we are and is aligned with our values
​
I am thrilled with Cheryl's work on this project!
​
Her attention to detail and work product are excellent - evidence that she is a seasoned HR professional which creates immediate trust with her clients.

- Ishani Uppal, People & Culture at RocketRez
Cheryl facilitated a workshop with our P&C team which led us to better understand ourselves and our team members' strengths, visions, values, and ways of working. This brought our global team closer together in learning more about each other personally and professionally. I found that our team was able to collaborate more effectively by bouncing on each other's strengths and experiences while providing growing opportunities for team members in their areas of interest.
Cheryl is compassionate, charismatic and inspiring! When I think of a strong leader or traits that I want to embody, I often think of Cheryl. Her personality shines through and she continues to always bring her best self to light. She has vast experience in the HR space and always provides great advice, support and recommendations. I always leave our working sessions learning something new and feeling better than when I came in
Cheryl makes work fun! She is creative in how she handles each client's needs and is always looking for ways to develop so she can share that knowledge with others. She brings high energy and helped me gain more confidence in myself. She allowed me to feel more comfortable in being uncomfortable!

Cheryl's expertise and brilliance helped our company with our strategic people alignment. She helped us identify our topmost people priorities and build/execute on our roadmap for 2022 and 2023. From strategic alignment to talent acquisition, employee engagement, compensation benchmarking, managing performance and training and development, she was able to build impactful processes and initiatives for us.
​
Working with her has been like having an in-house expert leading the function. The standout expertise, personalized and results driven approach, along with how invested she is in each initiative is what would make us always think of her first whenever we may need outside expertise.
​
Her vision, commitment, and the value she brings to an organization are the top three reasons I would recommend her services. If you are considering working with her, just do it!

Greg Perotto, CMO
Cheryl is the consummate HR partner (with very strong emphasis on 'partner'). She anticipates the needs of her stakeholders and proactively engages to solve challenges. She thinks and acts strategically, always putting the best interests of the business first and her customers - both internal and external - at the top of her priority list. She has a work ethic that is second to none and a bias for action and delivering results.
Cheryl has a level of accountability that is off the charts. On top of all of this, she delivers results in the right way, collaborating with others, rolling up her sleeves, driving continuous improvement, and doing so with unwavering integrity. Plus she is simply a good person who is a joy to work with.
Anonymous, Coaching Client
Working with Cheryl was a game changer for shifting my perspective on work/life objectives allowing me to have clarity on the work I wanted to be doing and how I wanted to do the work. This enabled me to be confident in my work decisions, including asking for what I needed and deserved. Her style is supportive and encouraging while still employing methods that establish accountability for thoughtful and truthful assessments, rather than regurgitating the ideas of what I think people want to hear or pleasing those with opinions on what I "should" be doing.
​
Thank you for providing this path forward for me!
