TESTIMONIALS:

“I had the pleasure to attend Sheryl’s virtual training on presenting like a pro and it was one of the highlights of my year so far! Sheryl is not only a fun and energetic trainer but also very detail oriented. She walked us through every stage right from preparing to presenting and post-presentation which was truly well crafted. I started implementing her tips the same day for my virtual calls with teams in Asia by focusing on the gotta-know in the body of my message. Since I work a lot with cross-functional partners from around the globe, it is important for me to ensure engagement throughout the meetings. And I can already see Sheryl’s training help me! ”
– Akanksha P Mohla, MBA, Manager, Global SIOP at Mattel, Inc.

“When working with Sheryl, you experience a sparkle with every touch point. Rarely do you find someone with the excellence and level of detail that Sheryl gives to deliver a personalized presentation that is packed with value and golden nuggets that you can apply immediately. In one of our recent virtual trainings with 125 participants from across the U.S. and Canada, Sheryl kept the group captivated and excited to test out their learnings. Looking forward to working with her again.” – Giovanna Dottore, Senior Manager, Supply Chain Org Development, Mattel, Inc.

TESTIMONIAL:

…one of the most generous and impactful conversations I’ve had as an emerging speaker.
I scheduled time with Sheryl Roush, Accredited Speaker, CVP after meeting her through NSA Northwest — and what she gave me was way more than I ever expected. Not only did she spend nearly an hour with me, but she had also taken the time to review all of my content and created a full slide deck outlining clear steps to help me grow as a speaker. She walked me through everything with so much heart, honesty, and clarity. You can just feel when someone isn’t giving you fluff they’re giving you real insight backed by real experience. And let me tell you – Sheryl has the experience. She’s worked with countless companies, coached speakers at every level, and spoken on stages all over. She knows what she’s doing. And that kind of wisdom? You don’t take that for granted. After just one session, it was a no-brainer for me: I will absolutely continue working with Sheryl. I trust her. I believe in her. And I know she’ll help me get Dare to Align into the world the way it’s meant to be shared. If you’re just starting out as a speaker or trying to refine your voice and platform, I can’t recommend Sheryl enough. She’s the kind of mentor you want in your corner. Thank you again, Sheryl Roush I’m so grateful and I’m already looking forward to our next session. – Shiaie Solema Gipaya, Speaker & Certified Alignment Coach

Born on October 22, 1942, in Tipton, Oklahoma, Herbert grew up with a strong sense of family, integrity, and quiet determination that guided him throughout his life. He was a man of deep character and steady presence, always offering strength, wisdom, and kindness to those around him.

Herbert was a man deeply dedicated to service — a proud Navy pilot during the Vietnam War, and an immigration and family law attorney who devoted his career to advocating for and guiding others through life’s most challenging moments. His proudest moment was winning Soria v. Oxnard School District, a desegregation case he successfully fought all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

He also served with pride as a leader and member of Toastmasters International for more than 40 years, inspiring and mentoring countless individuals through his unwavering commitment to communication, leadership, and personal growth.

He built a beautiful life alongside his beloved, Creda. Together for more than 50 years, they raised two daughters, Sara and Mandi, who brought him endless pride and joy, despite jumping out of “perfectly good airplanes” while skydiving.

His legacy lives on through the countless lives he touched with his calm and thoughtful nature, and the many quiet acts of love and generosity that defined his days.

Herbert will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him.

Thank you for a wonderful presentation last evening. It was one of the best that I have attended over the years. Why?

Wow! A masterclass from the master! Sheryl packed SO much information into a short space of time, and yet it was presented in a digestible way.
