| CHERYL PALMER IN THE MEDIA: The Washington Post "The best thing a friend or family member can do is help with networking, make referrals to other people in positions to hire," said Cheryl Palmer . . . . Palmer pointed out that it's hard to give objective advice to someone with whom you are close, be it about career choice or comma placement. She said she often has clients come to her with resumes that friends or family members have "proofread," but that are still sprinkled with grammatical mistakes and typos. (“How to Respond to a Searcher's SOS: Networking Help May Be the Best Assistance,” Washington Post, December 24, 2006) HotJobs "Assertiveness is the balance between being mousy and being aggressive," says career coach Cheryl Palmer. "It is standing up for yourself, but not at the expense of others." For some, striking that balance may mean not being so harsh and bold. For others, it means stepping up and asking for what you want. Palmer says that taking an honest, introspective look at yourself is the first step to measuring your level of assertive self-expression. ("The Art of Being Assertive," Yahoo! HotJobs, http://jobs.yahoo.com/jobseeker/tools/ept/careerArticlesPost. html?post=161) Voice of America Business Cheryl Palmer was a featured guest on the radio show Insight on Coaching hosted by Tom Floyd.

TESTIMONIALS FROM CLIENTS I had the pleasure to work with Cheryl Palmer in the Spring of 2005. Cheryl helped me transition between positions within a very large and well known corporation. The position that I was after was out-of-state which made the entire interview process even more daunting as all of the correspondence was done by phone. The interviewing techniques that Cheryl taught me were innovative and inspiring. She encouraged me to feel confident in each interview (there were four...), and taught me unique skills on how to tackle each question thrown my way. Moreover, she also gave me precise direction on resume writing and I continue to use these same techniques today. I felt that Cheryl truly cared about my career path and offered advice and encouragement tailored to my specific interests and circumstances. Best of all, I GOT THE JOB, which I directly attribute to all of her guidance. I would consider Cheryl to be a 'master class' in career consulting and would be surprised if anyone else could match her combination of skill, professionalism and compassion for clients. (Account Manager) I highly recommend Cheryl Palmer’s coaching services to anyone looking for advice in career orientation and achieving entrepreneurial objectives. Cheryl helped me greatly to create a clear focus of the direction of my company. She also pointed out great reading material and ideas to keep my employees motivated and to improve the flow of communication within my organization. Overall, Cheryl’s coaching sessions have been extremely positive and are already having a profound effect in my professional career. (Small business owner) |
