Cheryl was exceptionally patient and helpful with each and every student, the assessment ran smoothly as Cheryl walked us through every step and explained the task in a way that was clear and easy to follow. She created a comfortable and supportive space and overall the assessment really helped me reflect on my strengths and values. I left the session feeling more confident in who I am and the direction in which I want to go which is all possible through Cheryl’s guidance. She showed great knowledge in this field and left us with valuable insights.

Cheryl conducted a professional and insightful assessment of my son, who has physical limitations. She was well-organised, compassionate, and attentive to his needs. Her report was clear, accurate, and her recommendations were practical and aligned perfectly with my son. I truly valued her work and highly recommend her services.

I was very fortunate to do the personality assessment with Cheryl. In a short space of time, she ‘got’ me. Understood the challenges and the strengths through my assessment and put it together in such a way that I could see my areas of growth and strengths in a healthy and positive way. It was an insightful, fun and very forward thinking experience.

Working with Cheryl during my time at Synthesis Technologies was a genuine privilege. Her assistance, guidance, and deep care went far beyond what I expected and had a profound impact on me both professionally and personally. The Appreciative Inquiry workshop she facilitated was a transformative experience for our team. Cheryl has a rare ability to create a space that feels both safe and energising - one grounded in strengths, not shortcomings. What stood out was her thoughtful, strength-based approach that allowed us to reconnect as a team, reflect more honestly, and reframe how we respond to stress, both individually and collectively. The shift was tangible. Instead of focusing on what was wrong, Cheryl encouraged us to explore what’s possible. That reframing not only brought fresh energy into the room but also inspired new and effective strategies for collaboration. What elevated the experience even further was Cheryl’s genius foresight to follow with a workshop on Radical Candour. It was a perfect and timely complement to the safe foundation built through Appreciative Inquiry made space for a more direct, honest, and deeply respectful dialogue. Together, these two sessions shifted the dynamic of the team in a powerful way, creating a renewed sense of trust, clarity, and momentum. Cheryl brings clarity, calm, and care to every interaction, and in doing so, she empowers people to grow. I’m deeply grateful for the role she played in our journey.
