Cheri's Story
As an extension of her life-long passion for leadership development, including experience as an Senior HR Leader, our founder, Cheri Bachofer currently leads a boutique-style coaching business she built from the ground up. Drawing from her Master’s in Intercultural Relations and love of people, in 2008 Cheri relocated her business to New York City, where she continues coaching a diverse clientele of executive and emerging leaders from a variety of industries including HR, Finance, Engineering, Tech, Consulting, Marketing, Media and Sales. As well as leaders in the Nonprofit and Public Sectors.
Cheri loves her work and considers it a high privilege to empower leaders as they move forward with their life and business. Outside of work, she is often texting family in Nashville, Florence, Dallas, Melbourne, Birmingham, Pittsburg, or Minneapolis, volunteering as a mentor, hosting friends for dinner or taking in a new show.
“For as long as I can remember, I have loved spending time with people, especially leaders! Hearing what is working and what is not, discovering together what has been holding them back, and then identifying what they need to keep moving forward.”
Cheri brings her coaching to a variety of organizations including CHIEF where she has coached 100+ executives in small-group and one-on-one settings. Hear firsthand from two members on why they selected Cheri for individual executive coaching and the impact it is having.
