Cheri shares her journey of sobriety and spirituality. She tells her story of going from a high school methamphetamine addict to adult alcoholic, and what she did to turn her life around. Today, Cheri is recognized as one of Dallas’ top influential business leaders by D CEO Magazine, and she owns and operates a multimillion-dollar business while helping others who were once in addition themselves.
Cheri describes what it’s like to go from being a rigid person with very little empathy to learning the benefits of leading with empathy in all areas of life. The “What If” formula helps attendees learn a new way of approaching disappointing and frustrating circumstances with curiosity instead of anger. Cheri’s background includes a transition from substance addiction, with nothing to show for her efforts, to sobriety and operating and managing a multi-million dollar company that helps others realize their potential.
Cheri discusses common fears business leaders have around second-chance hiring. She draws from more than a decade of experience helping formerly-incarcerated people find work and create generational change for their families. She shares real-life examples, data, and unique approaches to ensure success for those with criminal records or in recovery. You will learn how to create a criminal background policy that works for your business; the importance of empathy; and strategies to conduct manager training to effectively support second-chance hires.
