“Cherryl has a natural affinity and passion for personal coaching. People develop confidence in her quickly, due to her sincerity and the articulate and professional manner in which she presents herself and her programs.

– Michael Schinella, Senior Vice President
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter

When I think of a personal professional coach, I want someone who has experience in a leadership role, a good listener and someone who exudes professionalism. Also, the knowledge a coach imparts should be clear and practical, the information gained is transferable and can be immediately applied to one’s daily living. Cherryl embodies all that has been described above.

– Mitzi King, (former position) Senior Human Resources Manager Ameritech Advanced Data Solutions

It is my pleasure to recommend Cherryl Thames from Hidden Treasures Coaching and Training, LLC, as a personal coach and trainer for your individual or corporate needs.

Cherryl and I have worked together on several projects in various venues over the years. I have found her to be professional in her data collection and situational analysis, willing to listen and offer ideas and strategies, and attentive to details and follow-up. She brings to each assignment a wealth of on-the-job experience and communicates her message with an open, honest communication style which she tailors to her varying audiences. Her playful approach to problem-solving and teambuilding captures the attention of even the most reticent individuals. As a result, the Mobile Medical Group has maintained an ongoing professional affiliation with Cherryl that has extended to our satellite offices outside of Michigan. Several of our staff members have engaged Cherryl for personal coaching.

If I can be of any further assistance to you as you investigate what Hidden Treasures coaching and Training has to offer your organization, please don't hesitate to call me at 248-353-1155.

The Mobile Medical Group

When I reflect back on our coaching session and the last year, I believe the greatest benefit is that through our coaching sessions I learned to dream without boundaries and believe the impossible or impractical really can become reality and work toward my higher good. I took the goals/dreams that I outlined doing our coaching sessions and made a "Treasure Map", which serves as a daily visual reminder of what my "ideal life" looks like. As my coach you helped me to shift my focus from success to service. I now realize that real success means creating a life of meaning through service that fulfills my "purpose" for being here.

As I previously mentioned, you were more than a coach. You served in a broad role (i.e. informal mentor/guide, business advisor, sounding board, spiritual advisor). As I move in the direction of my dreams, others have definitely noticed a difference and they now provide additional support and encouragement.

I wish you the best in your new role as managing Editor, Coaching.
God Bless!

“When I first started working with Cherryl as my career and personal development coach, I had resigned from a very unsatisfactory employer, I had no direction on what to do next, and lacked a great deal of self-confidence. After just one month of coaching from Cherryl, I had a work plan in place for my career goals, and a renewal of self-respect and appreciation for myself. Currently, not only do I now have a college certification in Human Resources Management, but I also work for a prestigious university in the department of Human Resources Strategy & Planning. I’m so glad the Lord blessed me by putting Cherryl Thames in my life.”

You helped me identify where my interests and strengths lie. What is my ideal life. What am I suppose to do and remain committed to my quality of life. You helped me understand my options as they related to my areas of interest and avenues to explore. You are like my Small Business Consultant who showed me the steps to take. The biggest challenge was that you helped me to:
~ Focus
~ Prioritize
~ Understand networking: who I need and how to pursue the opportunities as I plan my week
~ Stay spiritually focused
And, you have been that constant provider for me. You fill so many roles on my Magic Circle of "10".
