What Clients Say About Chérie

Chérie Talbert has one of the most professional and inspirational resumes as an executive woman leader that I have ever come across, and I can personally attest to not only her career success, but also, her commitment to lifting others up along the way. Chérie and I formed a trusting professional relationship that has continued to grow and I have witnessed her collaborate and move a mission forward by producing impactful solutions and ideas for our Michigan State University Women’s Leadership Institute Executive Board of Directors and our MSU students. In addition to lending support, resources, and being an advocate for our students, Chérie extended her generosity to me personally by offering to provide professional career coaching as I continue to navigate my own career. Her years advising, mentoring, and managing people really shined as we committed to bi-weekly sessions to discuss ways to expand my reach, my goals, and tangible steps to get there. She was and is my biggest cheerleader and her willingness to help people rise is unprecedented. I consider myself very fortunate to have gotten to know Chérie as a proud Michigan State University Spartan, a colleague, and a coach. Thanks for your constant positivity, and your contagious energy, and authenticity in caring about the spaces you commit to, personally and professionally.
