Success Stories

If you had told me years ago that a coach would have actually changed my life, I wouldn’t have believed you. Sheri Jay was a god send, and is well worth the investment in every way possible. Her sweet spot seems to be working with the neurodiverse community (though she’s equally brilliant with anyone I would think), but as someone with Autism, she just “gets it”. I could not recommend Sheri enough.

Sheri is a truly gifted and skilled leadership coach. In our sessions we’ve explored relevant peak performance neuroscience, leadership concepts, timely resources and mindfulness exercises that helped balance my ways of working. Sheri has been instrumental in mitigating burnout, managing stress and stepping into new levels of leadership.

In my first session with Sheri, she asked me to visualize the version of me I wished to become. Today, I feel a whole lot closer to that vision I described. What I’m most grateful for is how she’s taught me skills to help myself, rather than just relying on our sessions for guidance. I often find myself feeling as if a switch went off in my mind by the end of our sessions with everything becoming much clearer after I meditate, reflect, and work through the designated focus of that session.

Sheri Jay coached my gifted 23-year-old son, who has lacked focus and direction since his final year of high school. Sheri helped him formulate a vision for his future in which he identified short- and long-term goals and narrowed the pathways to achieve them. Three months later, my son is focused on reaching the milestones he placed on his pathway and is making steady progress on goal achievement with a level of clarity unseen before. Highly recommend Sheri Jay Coaching.

Sheri is hands down the best coach I have worked with. She gets to the heart of what is holding you back, and helps you implement tools that immediately impact your ability to focus, prioritize, set goals, and move forward towards your full potential. If you are feeling that you are your own worst enemy, Sheri is the person to help you unblock your positive inner self and shine. Her impact outlasts her sessions, and today my son often asks for her “melting ice cream” meditation that she put together just for him (he’s five, and this helps him calm his body to go to sleep).

Sheri’s mental performance training has been a game-changer for numerous Canadian athletes supported by Global Relay Bridge the Gap fund. The strategies she shares provide invaluable tools for managing pressure, building confidence, and optimizing focus, skills that translate into real results on the bike.

I initially sought coaching with Sheri to manage work-related stress that were weighing me down. Looking back, what stands out the most is the immense value I received from every session. Sheri has a unique ability to introduce fresh, insightful exercises that always leave a lasting impact. Her sessions have helped me manage fatigue, overcome challenges, and gain clarity in moments that felt overwhelming.

What truly sets Sheri apart from other coaches is her precise, no-nonsense approach. She quickly zeroes in on the heart of the issue, providing practical insights, thought-provoking questions that helped me shift my perspective and move forward. I always feel deeply supported and understood, and for that, I keep returning to her coaching. Thank you, Sheri!

Sheri Jay’s mental performance coaching was transformative, a real game-changer for my neurodivergent son with ADHD who was having difficulty moving forward in life. The effect has been profound. No longer overwhelmed and uncertain, he has developed values-based career goals and has defined actionable short and long-term plans to achieve them. His self-esteem and mental well-being have significantly improved and he’s happy again. I am incredibly grateful for Sheri Jay’s skillful guidance and the positive outcomes she has helped my son achieve.

I took Sheri’s explorative play Lego workshop several months ago, and I felt it had an immediate impact on me. As someone who use to play with Lego, wood blocks, and various other hands-on mediums as a child, I came to recognize how important having a hands-on tactile outlet for work and ideation is. I have continued to apply her suggestions numerous times since her workshop. At the time, Sheri facilitated a number of exercises I found helpful. I believe workshops like these could benefit students, entrepreneurs, or employees at any company that are seeking to generate new ideas, problem-solve, and/or innovate. Thanks Sheri!

I have been involved in personal development, either as the student or the teacher, for over 15 years. In all that time I have never encountered a technique like Sheri used for finding focus. In 1 session she helped me figure out exactly what I needed to do and where I needed to put my energy and efforts. In 1 session she took me from confusion and overwhelm to clarity, calm and focus…IN 1 SESSION!

In this first session with Sheri I was able to determine what path I needed to take in my life after going through a huge transition. For weeks I walked around dazed and unproductive because I just couldn’t make a decision. That first session helped me overcome the indecision with decisive clarity. I realized the answer was staring me right in the face.

Since that session I have had even more “aha” moments that have continued to help me move forward.

I trust her expertise so much that I referred a family member to her and they’re getting the same excellent results. Sheri has a calm presence that gives you the space you need to dig deep and find answers that just seemed to be escaping you until she starts asking questions.

I was reluctant to try coaching, but I’m so glad I did and I’m so glad I found Sheri.

Sheri Jay’s coaching program was a pivotal point in my life. I entered feeling lost and lacking in self-worth, but emerged with newfound confidence and clarity. Sheri’s compassionate guidance and understanding created a safe space for me to explore my challenges. Her support, coupled with practical tools like meditation, empowered me to overcome obstacles and achieve significant personal growth.

Sheri is extremely qualified to support people as a mindset and performance coach. I’m grateful for Sheri’s help and guidance through a particularly difficult period of stress at my job and in my personal life. Thank you for all you did to help me manage that. It means alot.

My coaching session with Sheri was one of the most multi-faceted, perfectly paced and impactful sessions I’ve ever had with a performance coach – and as a former pro athlete I’ve had a few of them over the years.

It’s not easy to find missions as satisfying and clear cut as an athletic career presents. Since I’ve retired, I’ve done (and do) “cool” things, but am trying to find a mission that I’m just as passionate and certain about.

One single session with left me feeling emotionally lighter, more confident about my path, invigorated and at the same time…calmer.

Sheri’s coaching style is:

• Empowering (She guided me to find my own answers in ways I didn’t think I could).
• Engaging (As much as she led the session, I actively contributed)
• Impactful (I left with some ‘answers’, tools to use [which I actually did use], and some “homework” that I can fit into my packed schedule.)

Thank you, Sheri

Sheri’s session at the Profound Summit in Denver was a remarkably unique and engaging way to practice “serious play” to solve equally serious issues. While the attached images may look simple, they helped me untangle my own frustrations in an incredibly unique way. Would recommend her for you!

Sheri has supported our elite women’s cycling team throughout the 2024 season and her involvement has been a game-changer. Mental preparation for big events is often overlooked. Sheri has helped us work though finding balance, approaching the unknown with confidence, and returning to sport after illness and injury. Her love and understanding of high performance sport has been particularly helpful as she has a broad understanding of the stresses faced by elite athletes, with proven methods for finding centre and achieving optimal performance.

Sheri Jay has been an awesome, collaborative coach. She came highly recommended. Sheri creates an environment that optimizes self-reflection and personal growth (if you are willing to put in the work), no matter the career path or personal goals to be achieved. The insights I have made through the coaching process and the integration of daily practices, which are important to me, continue to support my success. I am creating my best life, one day at a time. Everyone needs someone like Sheri in their life. 🙂

When it was suggested we incorporate Sheri Jay and her LEGO SeriousPlay toolkit during the icebreakers at a 3-day Educational Leadership program for adults, I wasn’t totally convinced it would be effective, after all, I have my own ways of doing things and it’s worked for years. But what do you know, I was wrong. Over the course of the 60-minute session, Sheri asked us so many fun and relevant questions, and as we worked through individual, partner, and group activities, we were challenged to represent our thoughts using the LEGO sets. This helped everyone focus on the foundational purpose of our time together, to move past the superficial elements of the topic at hand, and instead uncover the foundational attributes of our discussion. By lightening the mode, we were so much more effective at finding common language, and breaking new ground over the subsequent days. Thank you Sheri!

Sheri’s transformed me in ways I knew was possible but couldn’t get there on my own as I was stuck in the depths of anxiety, fear, and worry. Sheri’s openminded nurturing ways, insightful meditations allowed me to look inwards, reflect, gather strength, and pursue the person I always knew I could be by unleashing my potential. Today, 3 weeks away from my national competition and 6 weeks away from the worlds, not that I am the best yet, but I am better version of myself than I was yesterday and a whole lot better because I have worked with Sheri over these past months.

Just wanted to take a moment to thank Sheri Jay Coaching for helping me stay focused on my mental health while pushing me to reach new goals. Your guidance has truly made a difference in my journey.

Remember, with the right support and mindset, there are no limits to what you can achieve. Keep striving for greatness!

Sheri Jay was a great support to me as I worked my way through a major life transition. I found myself in a situation where I had to re-establish myself at a time in life when most people would rather not. It was daunting and stressful. Sheri Jay’s life coaching was a welcome support as I worked through this phase in my life. She offered many innovative techniques so that I could find new ways to frame some of the challenges I faced and discover coping skills and inner strengths. Through her coaching I was able to envision where my life was taking me beyond the weeds of day to day survival. Sometimes having that extra layer of support makes all the difference, especially when in the expert hands of someone like Sheri Jay who really understands how to guide us through the challenges that life can throw at us. Maybe you just want to make to next week. Maybe you want to improve your outlook on life, learn how to work with neuro-divergent tendencies, or learn how to take your life game to the next level. I would highly recommend Sheri Jay as the person who can help you achieve these things. Thank you Sheri!

Transitioning to a role on a completely different career path this year added new demands and stress to life! Working with Sheri has given me tools to perform my best professionally in a challenging environment, while finding balance in all aspects of life.

Sheri Jay’s coaching program had a profound impact on my life. I entered feeling lost and lacking in self-worth, but emerged with newfound confidence and clarity.

Sheri’s compassionate guidance created a safe space for me to explore my challenges. Her support, coupled with practical tools like meditation, empowered me to overcome obstacles and achieve significant personal growth. Not only did her coaching boost my self-esteem, but it also equipped me with the strategies to turn my goals into reality. I resurrected neglected projects and even secured a potential PSA opportunity with Disabled American Veterans.

I am incredibly grateful for the transformative experience I had with Sheri Jay and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking positive change.

Best coaching sessions I’ve had. I’ve worked with Sheri as my coach throughout 2024 to refine my approach to work/mental health balance. I had a health situation back in 2019, adjusted and recovered, and was looking to get back to making confident decisions without thinking back to my health journey in 2019. Sheri was great to work with and was certainly up to the task.

I walked away with a renewed sense of balance and assurance in myself, my growth, and my decision-making process. Her approach is to allow you to arrive at the best solution for yourself while guiding you to understand each step needed to get there. She has many books and materials to work with, and she never nudges you in any one direction. Sheri coaches you to find and refine your own internal tools. So when you advocate for yourself or take on new responsibilities, you know you are up for the task and how to navigate it. She is experienced, fun, approachable, and easy to talk to.

Bonus points: Sheri involves many creative ways of exploring and understanding your thoughts, like legos, writing, and collages. This was one of my favorite parts of the process; it’s a fun and not intimidating way of thinking through your thoughts.

Sheri’s coaching is Neuro affirmative. She helps people who are neuro divergent find purpose, live and carry out that purpose and get rid of the noise along the way

Sheri is an amazing coach. One thing I especially appreciate is her ability to adapt to my continuously changing work situation and coaching needs. She uses a variety of creative integration exercises that were highly effective in helping to shift my mindset so that I can be more productive and efficient at work. Sheri is very empathetic and a great listener, with a sincere passion for helping make an impact!

Thank you Sheri for your guidance.

I came to coaching because my mind and heart felt disconnected. I was finding it difficult to even hear my own thoughts, and I was experiencing a lot of stress in my daily life. During our coaching Sheri asked creative, expansive questions, and genuinely validated my experience, which helped me connect with myself again. For the first time in years, through our conversations, I felt space to slow down and think deeply. Because of Sheri’s expert coaching, I was able to create a morning routine that grounded my mind and set a peaceful, productive tone for my day. She helped me to connect with skills I had forgotten about, and build new and important skills that now support a better life and internal wholeness. The creative integrations – a collage, a drawing, etc. (one sample is below) Sheri suggested I do following our sessions inspired new insights that always pleasantly surprised me. Sheri Jay’s coaching is a powerful resource that I am very grateful for!

Sheri’s coaching is transformative. Everyone will benefit from working with her. Neurodivergent individuals will feel understood and empowered, and leave with practical tools to enhance their futures.

I have met with Sheri a couple times now and have found her sessions insanely valuable not just to my career in cycling.. but also my personal life. I really resonate with her approach to coaching and appreciate how she moves the flashlight I shine in my head and lights up different areas & ways of thinking I never would have discovered otherwise. Thank you Sheri:)

I recently completed a coaching program with Sheri Jay, and I can confidently say it was a transformative experience. Throughout the program, I made significant progress in several areas, but the most impactful change was the dramatic increase in my self-worth.

At the beginning of the coaching, I was struggling with low self-esteem and a lack of clarity in my goals. This negativity affected all aspects of life, causing me to withdraw and miss opportunities. However, through Sheri’s guidance, I learned to challenge my limiting beliefs and embrace my strengths.

What stood out for me was Sheri’s patience and understanding. Her willingness to accommodate my disability made a huge difference in my experience. She created a supportive environment where I felt comfortable exploring my challenges and developing solutions.

One of the most valuable tools I gained was meditation. It helped me to quiet the mental chatter and gain a fresh perspective on challenges. By pausing and reflecting, I was able to see new possibilities and approach situations with a calmer, more confident mindset.

The coaching program also helped me reconnect with my goals. With Sheri’s help, I identified areas where I needed to improve and developed strategies to move forward. For example, I resurrected two websites that contain valuable content but had been neglected. This accomplishment not only boosted my self-worth but also provided a platform for future endeavors.

The most exciting development is a potential public service announcement (PSA) opportunity with Disabled American Veterans. They were impressed by my story and want to consider me for their campaign. This is a powerful validation of my journey and a testament to the increased self-belief I’ve gained through coaching.

Overall, my coaching experience with Sheri Jay has been instrumental in boosting my self-worth, improving my clarity, and propelling me towards my goals. I highly recommend this program to anyone seeking positive change and personal growth, especially those with disabilities who may require a supportive and understanding coach. An additional benefit, that I wasn’t expecting, was the powerful connections I made with other program participants. Sheri introduced me to a number of other members of the Profound community facing their own challenges and triumphs. This shared experience fostered a sense of belonging and camaraderie that I will continue to cherish long after the program has ended.
