Welcome to Conversations with Authors, where I – Alison Thompson, AKA The Proof Fairy – meet amazing authors and find out what inspires them to write and what advice they would offer other aspiring authors.
 
 My guest today is Sheryl Andrews: personal performance and relationship coach, motivational speaker and the author of Manage your Critic – From Overwhelm to Clarity in 7 Steps. 

During our conversation we talk about asking for help, leaving a legacy and speaking your truth – whether that’s to help yourself or help others. We also explore breaking big ideas down into manageable chunks and the pros and cons of self-publishing. 

Trigger warning: Our conversation took some unexpected turns and touches briefly on topics including drug abuse and self-harm. Please don’t listen if you might find it upsetting. 
 

Sheryl Andrews is a personal performance and relationship coach, motivational speaker and author of Manage Your Critic – From Overwhelm to Clarity in 7 Steps” and forthcoming book Do, Delegate or Ditch – 7 Principles of Motivated Action.

Sheryl’s 30-plus years motivating, managing and mentoring others at work and being a mother of a blended family of five means she pulls on her wealth of experience to ensure you know how coaching can help when you feel alone, isolated and unable to ask for help.

Sheryl is honest and willing to be vulnerable when telling her own stories because she knows how it feels to be lying on the bedroom floor in tears thinking it is just you.  

Sheryl has a distinction in personal performance coaching, is a certified clean language facilitator and level 1 systemic model facilitator. Having spent many years as a mums and daughter relationship coach, she discovered that the source of most frustration was not having enough time or patience for the conversations that needed to happen. Sheryl shares models that make sense of your autopilot responses and step by step guides that are easy to follow, giving you clarity and confidence to change behaviours that no longer serve you.
