I partner with organizations to reshape the Rubric Mindset, a gap that often exists between the expectations of being a student and actually becoming a worker. It’s a concern for workers and leaders alike, and can lead to
When new hires enter the workplace, they will face what seem like unclear and inconsistent expectations, ambiguous goals, and the need to take initiative without being told explicitly how to do things on the way to the most desirable goal. These challenges can feel unfamiliar and uncomfortable.
Leaders who deepen their understanding of the Rubric Mindset, developed during the many years of Gen-Z’s standards-based education, come to see confusing behaviors as more than a lack of ability or poor motivation.
I draw from decades of practical experience as an educator and coach to adolescents and adults, as well as theoretical background in positive, developmental, motivational, and neuropsychology. This empowers leaders to create win-win approaches that foster growth, effectiveness, resilience, and independence while also ensuring that employees can meet key metrics.
“We partnered with Sherri to support a team member struggling with role changes. Her six-month program transformed the person’s self-awareness, anxiety, and communication. Sherri’s insights into the team member’s strengths and challenges were invaluable, helping their manager better set them up for success. Sherri’s coaching also provided us with a shared vocabulary that continues to enhance our collaboration and strengthen our team’s working relationships.”
Coaching for Learning, Attention, and Executive Function:
Individuals and Organizations
Developing perseverance and focus can be hard when you have learning, attention, or executive function gaps. Trying harder over and over is exhausting, and it’s not a sustainable solution. For individuals with learning, attention or executive function struggles, the “more effort“ approach can mask strengths and belief in your abilities, decrease your love of learning new things, and lead to anxiety through the fear of not measuring up.
This can happen at any age, especially when you switch from school to college to work, or from being childless to becoming a parent. Transitions can even magnify challenges you thought were behind you.
No one should have to struggle to be able to learn and flourish.
Now you don’t have to.

What’s my favorite kind of talk? Being interviewed, especially on a podcast, might be number one. Or maybe it’s facilitating a workshop or a book talk. Those are full of energy and shared learning. I also speak to a variety of in-person and virtual audiences, including parents, students, and professionals, on topics like these:
