B Batz, CEO | Fike
“Cheryl Cran was our keynote speaker for our annual leadership event and in a word she was outstanding. Cheryl’s unique perspective on the future of work and what is needed for companies to be on the leading edge brought tremendous value for our group. She spent time consulting with myself and the leadership team on our distinct culture and how to leverage what we were already doing well. Our leaders gave two thumbs up for Cheryl’s delivery style which was fast paced, direct and dynamic. In addition, the leaders really enjoyed that Cheryl joined us for our evening social. What I found very valuable as CEO of the company was the survey before event that she incorporated into her keynote as well as the real time polling and texting which really engaged our discerning group of leaders. Cheryl didn’t just talk about the future and trends she actually gave us the change leadership tools to create our next level of success.”

“We had Cheryl as our Keynote speaker at our annual strategic retreat for our senior leaders. Her presentation on “Leading With Power, Energy & Passion” was exactly what our team needed. Cheryl has the unique ability to ‘hear’ what we needed and to completely create a customized message that was EXACTLY what we needed . Her knowledge of technology, leadership tools and emotional intelligence and her ability to give us tools to leverage our skills was right on track with where we need to go as a leadership team. We have a team of highly intelligent and accomplished leaders who are quite jaded and we had one of our long term leaders say, “I have been coming to these for years and Cheryl was by far the most relevant and excellent leadership ex

“A few years ago Cheryl was the Keynote speaker at our annual conference – she was so well received that we invited her back to do a special workshop for NLOWE. Cheryl’s session combined personal stories, business ideas, social media ideas, business success strategies and more. In fact she gave one of our members an idea for a web application for her business that could be a ‘million dollar’ idea. Cheryl is a WEConnect International and WBENC certified business and also delivered a message for our women entrepreneurs on the merits of being a certified woman business owner. While here in St. John’s she also met with the local chapter of the Women’s Presidents Organization and delivered a special session on employee retention, generational
