The Confident Mother

Helping ambitious women in technology fully unlock their leadership potential

What others say about working with me …

I’m always so very grateful to my clients – check out the recommendations on my LinkedIn profile too.

“Everyone needs a Sherry in their life”

“I have been working with Sherry for a year or so now where she has been absolutely instrumental in supporting me to move back to perm (from contracting) and then up to my Director level role – I am grateful that my organisation recognises that we need to balance gender in senior roles but there is a long way to go.

Working with Sherry gives me the space to innovate, to express thoughts and share ideas before putting them into action! Everyone needs a Sherry in their life! Thank-you.”
Claire Reeves, Change Maker and Director at Deloitte

“gifted career coach”

“Sherry is an incredibly gifted career coach who is extremely personable and energetic. I first signed up for her LinkedIn challenge in October 2017. Doing the challenge gave me the clarity and focus that I needed at that stage, but I still felt really lacking in confidence to take action. I engaged with Sherry as my career coach in Feb 2018; her help and guidance has been invaluable.

Through her sessions, Sherry has helped me reconnect with my passions and strengths and given me the tools and the confidence I needed. Sherry is an excellent listener and motivator and has an amazing wealth of knowledge and experience which she is always willing to share.

Within a few months, I landed myself a dream job in a field I love and brings me great growth opportunities and challenges.

I highly recommend Sherry to anyone looking to restart their careers, she would be an asset to help anyone manage that transition. ”
Aruna Shah, ITSM & Process Improvement Expert

“enormous value”and “expert coaching skills”

“My staff have found their work with Sherry of enormous value and it has proved extremely helpful in the overall management of the team.

Sherry’s expert coaching skills bring out the best in staff by assisting them to elicit their own needs and then working with them to develop real-life plans to improve performance.”

Maurice Millen, Head of IT, Macfarlanes

“challenge my thinking” and “getting me back on track” 

Sherry has been my coach for the past four months and has been key to giving me the confidence and self belief to open my own business after an eight year career break.  When I lose my direction or can’t see the wood for the trees she is very good at challenging my thinking and getting me back on track. Her extensive contacts and knowledge both locally and nationally have been very beneficial.  All of this has been framed realistically against my work life balance aspirations as a mother of two small boys.

Hannah Bryant
White Raft Consulting 

“huge positive impact”

Sherry has made a huge positive impact on my business. I signed up for the one-to-one service which includes a whole day’s brainstorming and four one hour follow up sessions. 

Her insight, energy and support has helped me and my business get back on track. I would highly recommend any small business who wants to grow and improve its performance to get in touch with Sherry. As as an ‘outsider’ to my business, she has given me fresh perspective.

Thank you Sherry.
Anita Feron Clark, Stylist & Image Consultant

“Life-changing” and “powerful”

“Having Sherry by my side while I step my way through the transition from stay at home mum to working mum has been utterly invaluable. Her gentle but firm approach has given me the chance to re-engage with the “professional” within me, allowing me to move forward while keeping on track of all other aspects of my life.

She delivered a fantastic and generous level of support, encouragement and guidance without it ever feeling forceful, and she has an incredible knack for teasing out and addressing any issues that may be blocking progress.

Sherry far exceeded my expectations … and has enabled me to discover what it is to feel powerful.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the experience of working with her has been life-changing.

Thank you Sherry.”

Ashley A, Stay at Home Mum now HR Officer, Manchester

“remarkable coach that goes the ‘extra mile'” and “clarity and action-taking”

As a coach, Sherry provides invaluable, quality content that is concise and will drive your business forward. I first met Sherry at a Mastermind group and found her to be a remarkable coach that goes the ‘extra mile’ to ensure you achieve the objectives you set out to start or grow your business.

She has a natural ability to pick up on someone’s strengths and when you work with her she will help you get clear on what those are so you can really focus on what you are good at doing (even if you are not sure what these are). Her clarity and action taking through her range of volunteering and professional experience puts her ahead of many coaches and she has certainly helped me cut through the overwhelm AND focus on implementing steps to move forward in my life and work being a mother and a business owner.

I have an expected 20% growth for my business this year, thanks to Sherry’s coaching and I have a much clearer idea of the next 3 years. I will continue to work with Sherry as her approach, personality and leadership skills as a coach are excellent and her experience and knowledge outstanding. I thoroughly recommend her to others.

Vicky Warr, Founder and Director of Beez Kneez Hive

“enthusiasm is infectious” and “good business knowledge”

“Sherry brings many talents to her coaching. She is patient, organised and her enthusiasm is infectious. Her good business knowledge and positive mindset really contribute to a quality service. Rare to work with someone so passionate about what they do and I think this is what makes her service really stand out.”

Lorna Mills, Stay At Home Mum now Company Director, Cheshire

“her support allowed me to uncover what had been holding me back”

Whilst I worked with Sherry, I achieved things – setting up a business, working through launch plans that I had not been successful in achieving before. Her coaching support allowed me to uncover exactly what had been holding me back and I set myself tasks to get round this.

I would certainly recommend her services to anyone who has something they want to get done but can’t quite manage it on their own resources alone!

Joanne Robinson, Founder of Pepper Health Coaching  

“Professional” and “approachable”

“Sherry is a very professional coach, yet is also really approachable and easy to work with. She helped me to set up my new business as a Yoga teacher, and to feel confident about aspects of the business that I previously felt unsure about.

She taught me an effective problem-solving approach which I have used many times since. I am now able to focus on the teaching, knowing that I have a proper business structure and system in place.

I would highly recommend Sherry as a coach.”

Emma Martin, Lawyer now Yoga Teacher and Author of ‘Yoga for Happy Mums’, Bromley

“astute” and “confidence”

“Sherry has helped me make progress in my business set-up.

She asked astute questions going to the core of the issue which helped me unravel my issue. She helped me see beyond my fears so that I would gain confidence and take bold steps forward.”

Tanja Spittal, Lawyer now Relocation Coach, Gerrards Cross

“Directly positive effect on my effectiveness as a business woman”

“I had 6 sessions of coaching with Sherry and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She helped me to focus clearly on my goals for my business. Within a couple of sessions I had implemented several things that had a directly positive effect on earnings, organisation and my own effectiveness as a business woman. Indeed, I didn’t really think of myself as a business woman until my sessions with Sherry.”

Kate Barnard, Therapist, Bedford

“put me at ease”

“This was my first experience of working with a coach and I wasn’t sure what to expect. From the very outset I found Sherry extremely easy to talk to.  Her coaching style put me at ease from the very beginning and allowed me to fully relax into each session.”

Nancy Sealy, Technical Author, East London
