Cheryl Gilroy is a bundle of energy who manages to share this in promoting healthy relationships between individuals,and cooperative and creative teams. Her dynamism and strong leadership makes working with her not only professionally rewarding but personally pleasurable.

Cheryl was involved in several activities with the police college, including the facilitation of new and unique change management programs, as well as developing higher level investigator leadership competencies.  Cheryl's ability to easily develop a rapport with people, her intuitive capacity to identify critical issues within the workplace, and her willingness to assist others to learn was outstanding.  At a personal level, I valued her counsel and advice on a number of reforms to training products and delivery methodology.

As my coach, Cheryl has helped me make significant leaps in many aspects of my job and my life in recent months.  She is unfailingly positive and supportive, but also rigorously honest and always challenging in her feedback.  She is always available to listen and suggest, and I cannotimagine a more effective coaching style for me.  I strongly recommend Cheryl to anyone who is ready to take the great leap forward.

I recently participated in a leadership development program presented by Cheryl.  The program was a fabulous experience in seeing how powerfully people can operate together when we have a common focus.  The  series of workshops were more fun and more moving, while less confrontational, than I had expected.  I'd highly recommend Cheryl's work to people at all levels as she has a remarkable talent for relating to people wherever they're at.

I have been using People Dynamics to conduct leadership development for over six years for my senior leadership team. I wouldn't consider using anyone else.

Cheryl was asked to facilitate a team- building retreat which was loaded with conflict and various unhealthy “people" situations. As a facilitator, Cheryl helped us to understand the different dynamics of our team and the benefits different people play in the success of the team. As a facilitator, Cheryl kept the retreat interesting, fun, busy, and most importantly, we got the results we were looking for. Cheryl and People Dynamics are thoroughly recommended as trainers and facilitators.
