– BMO Future of Work Event Attendee
Cheryl your keynote on, “Change Leadership & The Future of Work,” was perfect for our group of leaders and for all of our global partners. Our team was thrilled to have you in the Las Vegas head office and we had numerous positive feedback from everyone on-site and from the live stream participants. We saw a lot of Twitter discussion about some of your strategies on change leadership and the future such as ‘learnerships’ and breaking down silos. We all wished we had more time with you! Let’s stay in touch for future collaborations – thanks again.
– Global Senior Manager, Quality – Aristocrat Technologies
Cheryl was our opening keynote speaker for our Innovation Unplugged Skills Summit in Toronto. From our first conversation it was obvious that Cheryl was very knowledgeable in the Future of Work and took the time to understand the objectives of our organization and our event. Her presentation was engaging and informative and set up the rest of our day perfectly. We had a diverse audience which included secondary school students, educators, industry experts and government officials. Everyone took something away from Cheryl’s speech and commented on the power of the presentation in their feedback comments. I would welcome working with Cheryl again in the future.
– Namir Anani – ICTC President and CEO
I really enjoyed your keynote speech. I was captivated right away and loved the interaction. Most of all, your passion for the future in work and business made your presentation even more unforgettable. Please let me know about future events and projects in which you have involvement in. I would love to hear you speak more about innovation and tech. It was truly a pleasure to hear you speak. I hope we meet, in the near future.
– Grade 9 Guest – ICTC Innovation Summit
Cheryl was our opening keynote speaker for our annual AGA National Leadership Training and she was phenomenal! Her keynote was titled, “The Art of Change Leadership – How to Flex in Flux” and her message was truly timely and of high value to our participants. We received overwhelming positive feedback from our group about Cheryl’s dynamic delivery style, the polling and Q&A interaction, and the survey she sent to participants to get to know her audience and customize her presentation. Cheryl’s opening keynote started our conference off with huge energy – we loved the videos and the music that got everyone excited for the rest of the day.
– J. Bruce, Director of Meetings, AGA
Cheryl Cran was our keynote speaker for our annual leadership event and in a word she was outstanding. Cheryl’s unique perspective on the future of work and what is needed for companies to be on the leading edge brought tremendous value for our group. She spent time consulting with myself and the leadership team on our distinct culture and how to leverage what we were already doing well. Our leaders gave two thumbs up for Cheryl’s delivery style which was fast paced, direct and dynamic. In addition, the leaders really enjoyed that Cheryl joined us for our evening social. What I found very valuable as CEO of the company was the survey before event that she incorporated into her keynote as well as the real time polling and texting which really engaged our discerning group of leaders. Cheryl didn’t just talk about the future and trends she actually gave us the change leadership tools to create our next level of success.
– B. Batz, CEO, Fike
Cheryl Cran is the Genuine ‘Real Deal’ There is no better motivational speaker, generational psychology expert, and change leadership mentor than Cheryl Cran. Cheryl is totally credible, sincere, transparent, and endearing as she relates her life experiences to today’s business and work situations. I have no reservations in recommending her to any Fortune 100 company who is dealing with radical change in their workforce. The world would be a much better place if they followed Cheryl’s advice and recommendations on hope to relate to others and how to cope.
– C. Lee, President, Raytheon Employee Association
