ABOUT SHERI A. BELL
An introverted tech manager told me:\"I can\'t build influence. I don\'t have the charisma. People don\'t listen to me.\"She genuinely believed her only path to leadership success was in trying to act like an extrovert.I told her about Abraham Lincoln.He wasn\'t bold. He wasn\'t loud. Yet he became one of the greatest leaders in history.How? By being STRATEGIC about building his influence.That\'s what I teach my clients.I\'m Sheri Bell, and I help managers and aspiring executives build strategic influence and executive presence—by leaning into their strengths, not changing who they are.THE PROBLEM:Most leadership development teaches you what good leaders DO:\"Delegate effectively\".\"Communicate with clarity\".\"Build trust.\"But HOW do you do that when you don\'t yet have influence? Even if you DO have the title?That\'s the gap I fill.MY APPROACH:I study history\'s most influential leaders—the ones who built power from NOTHING. Examples: Lincoln (led despite opposition and mockery) Eleanor Roosevelt (influence in a role with no authority) Grandma Moses (started her painting career at 78, became internationally famous) Harriet Tubman (high-stakes leadership when failure meant death) Marie Curie (broke barriers through excellence) Princess Diana (whose inconsistencies earned, then eroded her influence)I extract their strategies (and missteps), adapt them for modern leadership, and teach you to apply them in your leadership role. Not theory. Playbooks.I WORK WITH: Managers ready for executive roles (but told they lack \"presence\") High-performers consistently passed over despite delivering results Women in male-dominated fields navigating systematic barriers Anyone wanting to strategically build influence without formal authorityWHAT WE BUILD: Confident, growth mindset (we cement your empowered self-identity) Strategic influence (not just your hard work and hope) Executive presence that fits YOUR personality and communication style Ability to navigate politics without your becoming political Skills to inspire and lead through change and crisisMY STYLE:Intuitive. Direct. Collaborative. As one client put it:\"Direct feedback. with cookies and milk.\"CREDENTIALS:ICF Certified Coach (PCC)| 20+ years communication and personal development | WriterREADY TO BUILD YOUR STRATEGIC INFLUENCE?
