It’s all about Connection
At CLS Connections, meaningful relationships are the threads that weave together success in both personal and professional life.
As a dedicated coach, I offer guided training programs to help you create a rich tapestry of connection—enhancing personal growth through emotional intelligence, gaining self-awareness to better understand others, and even preparing for retirement.
Whether you're looking to strengthen connections at home or work, prepare for your next steps, or engage in self-reflection and development my coaching provides the strategies needed to achieve balance, growth, and fulfillment in every part of your life.
My Approach
Step-by-Step Learning
I believe that self-explorative learning takes time! Courses follow a slow and in-depth path of small hyper focused learning sprints.
Experience Based
Between sessions you’ll use what you’ve learned, gaining confidence in both your understanding and your ability to explore and apply your expertise.
Ongoing Supported Exploration
Whatever your next steps, support is there. Coaching and assessments can take your exploration to new and focused depths.
What people are saying.
"As a leader with over 15 years in management, I have attended many different learning sessions but one of the most impactful was the Emotional Intelligence course led by Cheryl.
It’s so important as a leader to balance empathy, the emotions of self and others with the pressures of leadership, to ensure clear and effective communication with your teams.
Cheryl helped build that understanding and made the experience interesting and informative.
I practice what I have learned every day when leading my teams and strongly recommend every leader attend this session to gain valuable insight and the tools needed to support them in their leadership journey.”
- J. Jacobs BBA
“I had the pleasure of working with Cheryl Stock for a DISC training session, and the impact on my personal development and self awareness was immediate and profound. She delivered the training in a highly engaging and insightful manner, helping us understand not only our own behavioral styles but also how to communicate more effectively with one another.
The DISC program helps reduce team friction, improves collaboration, and strengthens team dynamics - the profile is a document I have returned to many times over.
If you're looking for a consultant who can transform the way your team communicates and works together, I highly recommend Cheryl. She is engaging, and her expertise, enthusiasm, and practical approach make all the difference.”
- M. Amos CPHR MA HR, Senior HR Executive
"Learning that there were three levels of empathy opened my eyes to the possibility of my own projection of goodness onto others and helped me establish boundaries rooted in my values.
If I had not been exposed to emotional intelligence, I would have not prioritized my own needs when faced with difficult circumstances.
Cheryl’s passion for emotional intelligence is inspiring and leads you on a journey of discovery. "
- J. Morissette, CPA, CMA
"EQ can be difficult to undertake because it requires you look into the parts of yourself that are difficult to face for many reasons.
However, I believe it may be the single most important element of leadership training.
It’s raw, but in the rawness you develop next level self awareness allowing you to view your personal interactions from an entirely different perspective.
In doing so I found my ability for empathy in communication brought a greater ability to interact authentically inspite of my own emotions."
- A. Svennes, AMMA
“I took the EQ-i course from Cheryl Stock in September 2019 at a time in my life when I was going through a lot of personal and professional change.
The EQ-i session format was organized and executed in such a professional manner that I felt I received a lot of personal improvement value for the time spent in these sessions.
If you are looking for professional delivery and a high level of value about strategies for personal improvement then I would recommend taking this course from Cheryl.”
- K. Alcock, CPA, CMA
