As a keynote speaker, I am passionate about energizing and inspiring my audience to live, engage in, and experience the best story of their lives. Whether speaking to a group of high-powered CEOs, entrepreneurs, or a non-profit group, I weave powerful stories and lasting words of inspiration into my keynote presentations. As one attendee recently commented, "Not only am I walking away from Cheryl's talk with dynamic and relevant ideas to grow my brand and business, I believe I can do it." After selling more than 1.5 million gift books all beginning with a promise to be there for a loved one throughout life's hilarities and heartaches, I believe life can be messy, yet beautiful. If we know at least one person loves us, believes in us, and that our life matters, we can survive and thrive. As an independent publisher, my company Gently Spoken, is dedicated to helping others communicate love, hope, and encouragement when individuals can't find the words themselves. We are best known for The Eat Your Peas Collection of inspirational gift books. To date, I've self-published more than twenty books. I also consult with individuals and companies that wish to take their product to market or to develop a cohesive brand image.Specialties: Motivational and Inspirational Keynotes, Brand Building, Entrepreneurship, Retailing, Merchandising Contact: cheryl@gentlyspoken.com for more information.
