As Certified NLP Trainer, she has coached and mentored over a hundred people from all walks of life including senior executives, board members, sales professionals, elite athletes and body builders. The aim of her coaching is to give people the mindset for success to help them have more of what they want in their life and less of what they don’t want. Cheryl is a role model for anyone that is being held back by limiting beliefs. Her father said that she would never be able to drive, go to university or work in the corporate world. At the age of 21 not only did she graduate and get a job in the corporate world, she also financed her own car and bought her first property in London. The doubts continued throughout her career with managers telling her that her being petite and female would be a problem in a male dominated environment but she proved them all wrong.

She follows a body building training regime and also coaches people on how to get fit whilst having a busy work schedule. Cheryl loves travelling the world and experiencing new cultures!

Communication is never just words.

“‘I need to speak to you

The exact same sentence can create completely different reactions in different people.

Why?

Because communication is never just about vocabulary.

It’s tone.
Timing.
Energy.
Expression.
Assumption.

People don’t only respond to what we say.
They respond to what our words mean to them.

Which is why self-awareness matters so much in communication.

Before your next conversation, ask yourself:

What are people hearing beyond my words?

13/05/2026

One of the hardest communication lessons to accept is this:

Good intentions do not automatically create good impact.

You may have meant to protect.
Support.
Avoid conflict.

But if people leave confused, uncertain, or unclear… something in the message was lost.

The meaning of communication is the response you get.

12/05/2026

We often think communication is about the words being spoken.

But it’s also about the meaning being created internally.

The same feedback.
The same conversation.
The same moment.

One person hears:
“This will help me grow.”

Another hears:
“I’m not good enough.”

Most reactions are not responses to reality itself.
They’re responses to the meaning attached to it.

And once you start noticing that…
everything changes.

Ever rehearsed a conversation in your head before it happened?

We replay it.
Predict it.
Emotionally prepare for it.

And sometimes…

We end up reacting to the story in our head… not the actual person.

10/05/2026

Sometimes we keep talking…

Not because we’re trying to connect.

But because we’re trying to be right.

And people feel the difference.

09/05/2026

Sometimes we don’t avoid the conversation…

We avoid the possibility of not being liked.

And when that drives us:
– we soften
– delay
– or stay silent

That’s where clarity disappears.

08/05/2026

Not everything we say comes from clarity.

Sometimes it comes from:
– the need to be liked
– the need to be right
– the need to stay in control

And people feel that… even if you never say it out loud.

07/05/2026

You said it.

And you knew immediately…

It didn’t land how you intended.

Instead of explaining it…

“That didn’t come out how I intended.”

Reset.

06/05/2026

Clarity doesn’t need to sound harsh.

The difference is this:

Speak from your perspective…
not as a judgment.

“From my perspective…”
not
“You always…”

That’s how you stay clear… without closing the conversation.

05/05/2026

Softening your message feels safer.

But it can also make it unclear.

“Just a thought…”
“Maybe…”
“I might be wrong…”

Clarity builds trust.

So what would it sound like… if you said it clearly?

04/05/2026

You don’t have to choose between:

Being too soft
or too harsh.

Be clear.
Be calm.

That’s how you say difficult things… without losing trust.
