YOUR EXPERT COACH, CONSULTANT, AND SPEAKER

Meet Cheryl

I'm Cheryl Wells Collins,

Hi! I am a wife, mother of two accomplished adult children, sister, aunt, niece, and devoted friend! I am an executive leader, educator, life coach, public speaker, and consultant with over forty years of experience. I began my professional career as a teacher under the tutelage of my mother-in-law Marva Collins, famed educator who gained notoriety in the 1980’s and 1990’s for refusing to let children fail. I transformed from a teacher to an executive leader for a not-for-profit organization leading senior leaders to reach their goals by harnessing their innate gifts. I provide coaching for people looking to transition from one phase of life to the next in any area whether that is personal or professional. I provide consulting services to schools and not for profit organizations looking to move from good to great and from ordinary to extraordinary.

Why Cheryl?

I specialize in empowering clients who are looking to transition from one phase of life to another. This includes individuals who need strategies for tackling larger work assignments, those who are changing careers, and those who are starting new businesses. I have had great success coaching individuals in leadership positions for the first time, helping them build confidence and resilience to achieve their full potential. I also work with clients to find more balance in their lives and to experience greater peace and tranquility.

Client reviews

I had the pleasure of working with Cheryl during a challenging career transition, and her coaching was truly transformative. Her professionalism and coaching expertise created a supportive space for me to explore my future possibilities. Cheryl’s thought-provoking questions gave me permission to reflect and work through my own solutions. With her help I stepped into a new role successfully and reinforced my belief in my own capabilities. I highly recommend Cheryl!

Vicki

As a first-year teacher, I was overwhelmed. When presented with the opportunity to join Cheryl's coaching group, I jumped at the chance to be supported by someone with as much experience and knowledge as herself. Not only did I make amazing connections with other teachers, but I learned a lot that I could use directly in the classroom. I learned how to make meaningful connections with families and staff; I also learned how to have successful classroom management. I would recommend this coaching for any and all teachers, at any point in their teaching journey.

Evelyn

Cheryl is amazing! She's been great at helping me organize thoughts and execute actions during a time in my life that having a bunch of mind clutter was debilitating.

Sophie

The sessions with my coach were informative, engaging, and uplifting, and I left each session with a tangible takeaway.

Jamal

Cheryl has had an incredible impact on my life. She has a depth of experience that allows her to relate to every situation or goal I bring to the session. Her calm presence easily builds trust and gives me the confidence to verbally process when I’m feeling stuck, and she knows just when to push me a bit to achieve my goals.

Neel

Cheryl was a wonderful coach who truly changed our lives! She had such a positive impact on our parenting skills and taught us so much about how to be better parents to our kids. We learned a lot from her experiences and have made concrete changes to improve our parenting approaches. I would highly recommend Cheryl to anyone who needs a life coach and wants to have a strong guide in their lives.

Coaching vs Consulting

Coaching and consulting are two distinct approaches to personal and professional development. Coaching focuses on the development of a person (or team) and draws on their own expertise to move from one level to another in particular areas of life. Consulting focuses on solving specific problems and/or improving an organizations’ performance by working with a consultant on possible solutions.

Consulting Fees

Consultation fees vary based on the following:

  • The size of the organization (number of employees and number of clients served)
  • The budget of the organization
