Entrepreneurship
Sheri's integrity and work ethic comes naturally, given the entrepreneurial spirit that seems to have surrounded her ever since she can recall; with a loving grandmother, hard-working father, and wonderful in-laws (whose parents emigrated from the Ukraine in the early 1900's).
As a small child,
and with an odd keenness that makes more sense now, Sheri followed
her paternal grandmother's every move as she balanced the domestic demands of
her era, and a successful home-based business as a gifted and self-taught seamstress.
Following suit in her father's cartage businesses, even in her early teens,
she would often go on the road with him or help in the office or warehouse;
and in her later teens, experienced the hospitality industry first-hand, under
the guidance of her in-laws and now husband, Wayne. The insights she gained
and the lessons she learned have been invaluable in her own journey, along with
that of many others she now mentors.
Today, she says she couldn't do without the support of her husband and mom. Their 'behind the scenes' work, from bookkeeping to customer service is invaluable and allows Sheri to do 'what she does best'.
Remaining a student of life, Sheri continues to study, formally and otherwise; often referring 'with high regard' to the works of 'personal development' forefathers, such as Brian Tracey, Bob Proctor, Stephen Covey, Tony Robbins, Zig Ziglar, John C. Maxwell and Dr. Wayne Dyer (just to name a few).
Family
As you may have guessed, closest
to Sheri's heart, is her family, all 4 generations. It's one of the main reasons
she loves working for herself, not to mention the financial freedom
and rewards, knowing that if she wants a pay raise, all she needs to do is
work a little harder!
Sheri runs a busy household, and is the proud Mom of Matthew and loves spending time with her husband, Wayne, of 25 years; especially cottage life, when they get a chance to slip away for a few days.
In her 'personal' time she enjoys cooking, reading... and writing (working on her first two books).

Her goal is to make you feel great about you!Through more than 23 years of experience, Sheri is considered an expert in her numerous fields; including personal and professional development, coaching others to success, highly effective time management skills (evident in all that she is involved in today), and image consulting.
