Testimonials
“I have had the pleasure of being coached by Meryl Sher for almost four years, and I would say she is, hands down, the most effective, direct, tough and loving support system I have ever allowed myself.
I think it is important to understand that in order to be “on top of your game”, whether it be professionally, personally or spiritually, you do yourself a great service by recognizing that you don’t have to do it on your own, and in my particular case, I didn't want to do it alone.
A retired professional opera singer, at 50, I decided my birthday gift to myself would be to go back into full-time performing. This time in the field of theater and musical theater. That meant A LOT of preparation to be able to compete; finding an agent, new head shots, coaching, networking. I have vocal coaches, acting coaches and an agency on my team, but found that I needed someone to support the “pursuit" process. Someone who could be my listener, cheerleader, motivator, co-creator and everything and anything in-between.
Meryl is a continuous source of joy for me. Initially, we worked weekly on defining goals, accountability for actions taken, celebrating milestones hit and talking through strategies whenever I hit walls. We subsequently work monthly as well as clearing prior to my auditions. I have very ambitious goals in an impossibly tough industry, so her dedication, listening and encouragement is VITAL to my success. She has excellent skills, particularly thinking outside of the box. She is not attached to her suggestions, but rather is “listening” in a particular way to my thoughts and ideas and then looking to collaborate with me to crystallize those ephemeral nuggets into attainable and tangible results.
Most of all, Meryl is a loving person who wants to make a difference for people to generate more vitality and happiness for our world. If you have any area of your life that could use support, do yourself a favor and don’t try to “make it happen” by yourself, give Meryl a call and see what could be possible. I PROMISE you, you’ll see amazing results.”

"I cannot praise enough Meryl's skills and commitment as a Life Coach. She is thorough in getting to know her clients, and takes meticulous notes to keep up with details and happenings of my life. She has guided me with a solid hand through deep and challenging territory at a time I hardly knew myself, where I was heading and how I would get there. Meryl's level of compassion is unsurpassed as a coach and human being. She brings creativity and dedication to every call, with a promptness and professionalism rarely found in an individual in a support role. I would recommend Meryl again and again. I believe those fortunate enough to work with her in the future will agree. It is certainly worth the investment and Meryl is the person to guide the way!"

"I was honored to be coached by Meryl as she helped me create a photography business. I wasn’t certain in what direction I would take my love for photography and artwork.
With Meryl’s understanding of the variety of options for a creative and moneymaking business, I was able to weigh the opportunities that were open to me. Meryl’s compassionate support for my own challenges helped me through the ups and downs of creating a business. When I felt the joys of accomplishment, Meryl felt them with me.
I highly recommend using Meryl Sher as a coach for any possible personal or life endeavor."

"Meryl Sher is an amazing editor. She is not only a phenomenal grammatical expert, she’s masterful at keeping the writer’s voice alive, front and center in the material. She’s not trying to fix the author as a writer. She’s out to enhance the author’s ability to get the intended message across to the reader. She’s committed that the work an author creates is evergreen and lasts for decades.
Meryl will never give up on her clients and, as they collaborate to bring the book forth from her writers’ inner voice and vision, she is committed to the author becoming more masterful. She guides them to become more facile at their own editing, grammar and writing so they can produce future books and presentations more powerfully with accuracy and velocity.
Her commitment to an author’s success makes her adorable to them because she’s going to be their biggest cheerleader. The relationship you’ll end up having with her could last a lifetime…if you let it!"
