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 leads our boutique-style coaching business that she built from the ground up. Drawing from her deep love for people and Master’s in Intercultural Relations, Cheri relocated the business in 2008 to New York City, to continue 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 has also served as a guest panelist and been featured in Forbes as an “expert coach.”
Outside of work, she is often texting family in Nashville, Florence, Dallas, Melbourne, Birmingham, Pittsburg, Minneapolis, volunteering as a mentor, hosting friends for dinner, walking along Hudson Park or taking in a 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. Listen firsthand to two members on why they selected Cheri for individual executive coaching and the impact it is having.
