For 20 years now Cheri has been working to help individuals and organizations make a positive difference.  Beginning in public health, and then moving into the business world, she has witnessed the power (and the destruction) of beliefs.  She has committed herself to meeting the challenges of pessimism head-on and to help individuals and organizations break free from their limiting beliefs. 

She does this as a professional speaker, coach and trainer, where she uses witty anecdotes taken from her vibrant personal life.  She's committed to reinvigorating business owners, executives, managers, employees, and entrepreneurs.
 

Cheri maintains a realistic view of working professionals, who balance career with family and outside interests. Her approach is born of her own challenge to juggle her commitment to raise two young children, while simultaneously training professionals in both the public and private sectors. BOOM Thinking provides a solid foundation for each of Cheri's entrepreneurial efforts; she is also the President and CEO of Whetstone Consultations, a consulting business that works specifically with healthcare agencies.
 
Cheri earned a Masters Degree in Education from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and is an active member of the National Speakers Association. She resides in Asheville, North Carolina with her husband, two children and her dog Boomer, whose eager and easy-going approach to life inspired BOOM Thinking.
