I have served on many committees with Cheryl Marks Young and have always been impressed with her insight, her energy, and her commitment to every project in which she has responsibility and/or plays a part. She is calm in the face of obstacles, diligent in finding solutions, and articulate in communicating strategies that mobilize teams. She is a superior leader who inspires confidence because she gets result. It is a pleasure to work with her and observe the capable and caring way she leads.

In the early years of my law practice, I was successful, but doing things in a very ad hoc way. That’s when I realized I needed coaching, and I recognized that Cheryl, a former CFO with diverse industry experience and knowledge in so many areas, was the perfect coach for me. Five years in, and I’m still coaching with her. I’ve benefited from the Wisdom of Cheryl. Cheryl role models focus and intention, and that has informed the way I run my business. Everything I do now is the result of a plan because with Cheryl, there is always a plan. It’s clear I’m making better decisions—so much so that since I’ve been working with Cheryl, my revenue has increased upwards of 47%. Plus, two more best things about working with her: 1) She’s always available for me by phone or email whether I’m having a bad day or simply need everyday support. 2) She keeps me excited about the possibilities for the future. Whenever I leave a meeting with her, I’m always filled with energy and a wealth of ideas. It rekindles the excitement I had when I first started my business and dreamed about all the great things I could do and accomplish. Thanks to Cheryl, those dreams have become a reality … and her excitement about the next great something on my horizon is contagious. Already, I’m filled with anticipation.

One of the great benefits of working with Cheryl is moving from an owner operator mindset to a CEO mindset. Cheryl has inspired and led me through that transition. She has taught me that being an entrepreneur is more than dealing with the day-to-day issues that arise … more than getting through the day. It’s bigger and broader. It’s managing the people and everything about our organization in relation to our vision, a long-term outlook, and our future goals. And Cheryl has taught me to establish the vision and to set expectations in accordance with that vision—even better how to communicate expectations to employees in relation to that long-term goal. It’s not only made me a better leader; it’s also strengthened our company. I recommend Cheryl Marks Young to any entrepreneur wanting to achieve business growth and expand their leadership capabilities to achieve growth goals.

There’s a tremendous benefit to knowing Cheryl and to being exposed to her insight, her network, and to be the recipient of her excellent connector capabilities. That’s her gift. She makes relationships work so that introductions produce results. What’s more, she makes you a better version of yourself by helping you establish better focus. Having Cheryl coach me has not only helped me improve my processes but given me a more effective way to manage my business. She told us to plan our calendar year by planning vacations first and then working backwards to establish our business plan and the number and schedule of hours we have to work to reach our revenue goal. The takeaway: the need to work on our business, not just in it… and to make sure we’re happy humans instead of being just working humans. Cheryl teaches you how to run your business, not to let your business run you. I’d recommend Cheryl to any entrepreneur who wants to grow personally and professionally.
