"As an educator, I'm picky about my teachers, and I can say without hesitation that Cheryl is one of the best.  She's an expert at what she does, and she does it with great passion, warmth, and sincerity.  I feel much more skilled at using my vocal instrument after working with Cheryl." - Elizabeth Skwiot, Ph.D., Founder of Aerialates®

"Since I have started taking voice and speech training with Cheryl, the number of call backs I have received from customers has increased by approximately 20-30%.  Cheryl has not only taught me how to become a better speaker and presenter, she has taught me how to connect with my audience, whether it’s on the phone or in person.  With the proven results of Cheryl’s coaching, my confidence has increased and I feel like a new person.  I now look forward to using the skills I have learned to go out and do what I love." -- Sheila Hill, Sales Rep., 2010
