MEET CHERYL:
Ever since the day her Dad taught her how to stand on her head, Cheryl has seen the world differently. Although she grew up in a small NW Indiana town, she decided to DREAM BIG!
Cheryl wanted to become an Olympic gymnast, so she got a paper route and bought a balance beam and a unicycle. If all else failed, she would run away, join the circus, and work her way
"up the ladder" to become...
Miss Vertigo of the Flying Trapeze!
Cheryl never reached the Olympics or the circus, but she got close. She became a "champion" on the hit athletic reality Hollywood television show American Gladiators. Turns out, swinging on ropes, scaling walls, and powering through Gladiator-sized opponents was an awful lot like being in the circus! And she’s been
chasing—and catching—dreams ever since!
Nothing has stopped Cheryl—not even a severe genetic speech impediment and a name like SSSSHeryl SSSSilich! It wasn’t until college when
a chance meeting with a stranger bearing a gift changed the course of things to come. Cheryl realized she didn’t have a speech impediment; she had a life impediment. So, she made a
choice—the choice to change. And that change eventually opened doors for a career in TV, radio, and public speaking. It may have been the first day Cheryl became a real "champion."
As a speaker, Cheryl's not afraid to be human—and imperfect. She knows what works, and she shares it. Her "if I can do it, you can do it, too" attitude is contagious. That's her magic. Cheryl has discovered how to use her truth—and
you can, too. That's her magic—and she
can't wait to share it with you!
NOTICE her BICEPS.
ADMIRE her SPIRIT.
REMEMBER her MESSAGE.
