CHERIE WILCOX
There are many reasons why a person might feel stuck at work. Maybe it's the infamous golden handcuffs, maybe your job has become a habit that is no longer challenging, or maybe something just feels off? Maybe you’re not growing and don’t have the chance to try new roles, be creative, or show your innovation? Do you work so much that you’ve forgotten to enjoy life? Can you afford to leave? Ultimately, what is all this work for?
Do these questions feel familiar? They are to me because I’ve been there too. I know the fear of the unknown and taking the next step. I can help.
Inside you, you have inherent brilliance and direction. Together, we will uncover your unique strengths, talents, values, and break through the barriers holding you back. Together, we will create the clarity you crave and the confidence you need to take the next step in your life.
Fun Fact: In my spare time, I volunteer as a Dance 2B Free Dancer.
More about cherie
After graduating college in art and business and extremely unsure of what her first job should be, Cherie followed a hunch that staying in upstate New York wasn’t her destiny. Her best friend told her about an incredible opportunity to work overseas with children as a camp counselor, so she boarded a plane to South Korea and then did it again the following summer in Augsburg, Germany. Loving life overseas, determined, and feeling lucky, Cherie traveled south to Bavaria and worked her way up to becoming manager of an eighty-five-room international hotel that catered to NATO. She took long weekend trips to romantic, sunlit valleys, castles along the Rhine River, and the white chimneys of Cappadocia, Turkey. She also saved for and executed a year-long journey from England to the far East.
When Cherie began wanting to plant roots, establish a career where she could help others, and be closer to family, she moved back to the states and landed a job with the University of Colorado Boulder’s Career Services office (she had interned in career services in college). The mission of helping students figure out what they wanted to do with their lives was extremely appealing and dear to her heart.
Over the next twenty years, she coordinated thousands of interviews between students and employers, was in charge of the University’s student and alumni job platform, revamped the Career Services website a few times, and gradually worked her way up to be Associate Director of the Leadership Team where she oversaw and coached many, including Technology, Data, Customer Service, Testing, Finances/Accounting, and Operations teams.
Amidst all this, Cherie realized that coaching one-on-one was her passion. Clients told her that her coaching was helping them become more clear, better able to make decisions, more confident, and that they felt seen and supported.
Cherie earned her coaching credential and completed the Coaching for Personal & Professional Mastery from Newfield Network. This particular type of coaching embodies three areas in order to be the most effective: body (using somatic awareness), emotions and moods, and language (including the little voice inside your head giving you advice, whether you want it or not). She has also taken several courses through Coaches Rising, including the Neuroscience of Change, is a facilitator for the Spiral Method (a type of group processing through authentic relating practices), and has completed many trainings on CliftonStrengths, Myers Briggs, Enneagram, and Career Construction Theory. She is a certified Global Career Development Facilitator.
Cherie has always been extremely interested in entrepreneurship, wanting to push the edge of innovation. She has an amazing partner, brilliant eighteen-year-old daughter, and loving seven-year-old step-daughter. Her family also have three cats, a snow-white chinchilla, and a black, lop-eared rabbit. When she’s not coaching or starting a business, you can find her dancing, working out, making green smoothies, indulging in Indian food, or having a serious sweet tooth.
