Hi!  I’m Chery,  

• I deeply believe that anyone can be a leader.
• That everyone knows something that the rest of us don’t.
• And that we all need to leave our workplaces, communities, nation and world – better than we found them.

Those beliefs inspire me to:
1. Build bridges of communication and understanding between people from different positions, organizations, races, religions, and cultures. (Increasing understanding collaboration and growth.)
2. Instigate change from every position I’ve ever held.  Even from the from the middle and the edge of organizations I’ve led system-wide change that has created higher performing teams, increased customer service, reduced risk, and significantly increased revenue.)

Today I am The Founder of Giana Consulting, listed as a Great Leadership Speaker by Inc., write a recognized leadership blog and have co-authored two leadership books.

My faith and my firm belief that leaders need to walk their talk were the reasons I agreed to move to a part of the world that I once feared. In that big desert we were surrounded by people from more than 50 nations in our world.  Providing daily opportunities to meet with, listen to and learn from people from other perspectives.

Since our return from the Middle East, I combine my passion for character-based leadership with our Saudi experiences to help people learn to lead themselves, the people they serve and their organizations at a higher level.
