Cheryl Cran - Boldly Grow a Workplace of Choice, Pt 1

Bold companies grow visionary leaders who attract and retain high performing employees. Throughout her entire corporate career Cheryl's progress as a young and successful leader was based on her boldness and ability to take positive action.

Her first leadership role was in her early 20's in the banking industry. She was highly successful due to her action oriented and results focused style. However her style was also forceful and controlling because that was what was modeled by others and she thought that's how a boss behaved, until one day her manager gave her the gift of honest feedback. He coached her and provided tools to change her ways or risk career advancement. The very areas for improvement in her early management days were the areas that turned quickly into being a highly successful leader and communicator who "walks her talk." The 15 successful years she spent in the corporate sector included the calm handling of a series of violent bank robberies which resulted in an immediate promotion to the 2nd highest robbery-prone bank. Cheryl tells this story to her audiences along with: "Be careful what you are good at." Cheryl led that branch to increase its overall performance and helped it achieve 'one of the top three' branch status.
