"Congratulations on a wonderful Super Session. I heard a number of wonderful recaps of your session. Folks commended the wealth of useable information you dispensed."

Craig Harrison, Program Chair National Speakers Association, Northern California

"Just a quick note to let you know that I continue to appreciate your graphic design wisdom. I'm amazed at how I keep learning new things!"

Sarita Maybin, Professional Speaker

"As a speaker my credibility is reflected - enhanced or diminished - by the visual quality of my support material - my newsletters, handouts, one-sheets and brochures. Sheryl's insights, techniques, and PRACTICAL wisdom give me confidence and save me money, time, and aggravation."

Christopher Witt, Witt Communications

"Your reputation had proceeded you, but I don't think that anybody was prepared for the level of presentation that you provided. You shared tips, hints, and secrets on how WE could become great. The feedback received was one of the best, if not the best, we have ever received."

Mike Rounds, National Speakers Association Greater Los Angeles Chapter, Masters Track

"Sheryl was vivacious, offered a wealth of knowledge and was very practical. Everything we hoped for!"

Gary Baumler, Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod
