How Pete led through massive growth in his business with newfound ease, improving his business results, health and relationships at the same time.
Pete Birkeland is a Chief Financial Officer at a data security company.
We worked privately together starting in July of 2022 for four months.
When I reached out to Cheri our business was at an inflection point and my career was at a point where we were looking to enter a hyper-growth phase and I needed her coaching to help get my thoughts organized and aligned so that I'd be able to perform at the level I needed to.
I was at a point in my business and professional career where I needed to do a better job of handling stressful situations and also mentally preparing myself for a hyper growth stage in our business so I knew that I needed coaching and I reached out to her to start doing that.
My biggest hesitation about working with Cheri really was managing the time and the expectations so that we would be able to have productive sessions and really make progress.
It really was making sure that I could find time and commit fully to the coaching sessions.
We were able to overcome that by just really getting a nice cadence going but I never had really any reservations over her skills or her abilities as a coach.
I knew she would be professional, she would coach hard and make me really examine what were the drivers behind the issues that needed to be resolved.
Since working with Cheri, I’ve been able to
on a personal level:
✅ Become a more effective executive.
✅ Deal with stressful situations easier.
✅ Think both in the current situation and long-term.
✅ Understand the triggers that cause stressful responses for me personally.
on the business side:
✅ Help recruit multiple people into our business
✅ Weather the ups and downs over the past year as our business grows and expands.
✅ Handle stressful situations in my business without falling back on past ineffective behaviors.
✅ Make changes in my health and how I bring more energy to my life everyday.
✅ Use the coaching that I had with Cheri to prepare me and the people I work with to be able to manage that without setbacks or unnecessary conflict.
What I liked most about working with Cheri is she has such a wonderful demeanor to put you at ease but she's also able to cut through that demeanor and ask you tough questions that you may not want to answer.
I am so happy that I picked her as my coach and I believe that she has just the right balance of personal and business experience that enabled me to really move up to the next level in my performance.
The biggest thing I took away from working with Cheri is that I have the ability to control my thoughts and actions and she was able to continually bring that forward as we worked through issues in my business and personal life.
I continue to use that mantra everyday as I go through and have to deal with tough situations.
If I never would have worked with Cheri I would still be operating with these thoughts and beliefs that were not going to be helpful for me in my business or personal life.
So I would still be stuck in a past that was not the best for me.
I really don't want to go back to that and by hiring Cheri for my coaching I will never have to do that again.
You should work with Cheri if you want to move forward in your business and professional life with a coach that has been successful in all things that she's done and has answered those tough questions that we go through as Executives and leaders in both our business and personal lives.
Cheri a wonderful person, a great coach, and supportive throughout the entire coaching process.
I can't say enough good things about her as a person and as a coach.
