Hi, I’m Cheria!
Wherever you’re trying to go,
whatever you’re building,
whoever you’re becoming,
I’m obsessed with helping you
make the space to grow there.
Welcome.
I'm a culture strategist, facilitator, and speaker. People often assume I came up through HR. I didn't. I came through innovation, leading transformation at brands that shape culture at large. So I don't see culture as a program. I see it as the operating system for everything else. Today I work with organizations that understand a simple truth: when you grow your people, everything grows. And growth isn't just feel-good work. It's strategy.
How it all started.
I was born in the early 80s when the idea of "corporate culture" had only begun to take root. I started my journey in the 90s at the ripe age of 16 when a new high school administrator walked into my leadership class and said, "My name is Richard Parkhouse, and I'm on a mission to build the world's greatest high school." That day, two things happened: he taught me my first lesson in culture transformation, and I stepped right into my calling.
One year later, our school culture looked completely different — and I was on the road with Parkhouse at conferences, teaching rooms full of students, teachers, and administrators hungry for their own transformation. I carried Parkhouse's teachings into my college years and every job I had before culture was even in my title.
People said I had a gift for it. I'd correct them every time: it's not a gift. It's a hard-won, learnable, teachable skill. That skill, paired with a deep desire to help people grow, has never changed. The rooms just look different now.
So, allow me to introduce myself: My name is Cheria — and if you're ready to step into the next iteration of yourself, your team, or your organization, I want to work with you. This work has been my life's calling, and nothing lights me up more than getting to be part of your growth. So let's do this!
