  • What people are saying about this powerful book:

    "Dr. Collier has brought spirituality, hope, and encouragement into one book. This book empowers you to become the very best you can be and settle for nothing less. Dr. Collier has captured the elements which hold each of us back from fully achieving all the God wants us to be. She helps us to understand how to be empowered and then encourages us to move forward toward achieving our destiny. She is inspiring and enlightening. This is truly one of the best books of 2004."
    Anita Colley - President, Summit Strategies Inc.

    "Move Out of Your Own Way” is truly a life changing book! Dr. Cherry offers a positive, uplifting message that is encouraging and promises to make you think. The positive energy is absolutely contagious!"
    Betsy Walraven, Student

    “Are you down but not out? Can you use the lift of an encouraging voice? This is it! Dr. Cherry is a “relational writer.” She engages you and helps you rediscover your strength. Thanks Dr. Cherry! You’re right on target with me.”
    Terry Carnes, V.P. Training

    "In Move Out of Your Own Way Dr. Cherry provides powerful advice that points the way to success and personal growth. The book is enlightening and motivating."
    C.L. Hargrove, Ph.D., President Hargrove Management Consultants

    "The book was wonderful! I loved the way it was set up (lesson, activity, thoughts/story). There were even parts of the book that brought me near tears! It was definitely powerful!"
    Erica Chaplin, College Student

    "I found Dr. Cherry's book to be thoughtful, provocative, insightful and full of the warmth of the human spirit. I found myself reading, mimicking some of the behaviors and re-reading certain passages trying to capture the fullness of her brilliant insight. I strongly encourage you to give this reading your full attention."
    Stephan C. Davis, SPHR, President, Davis & Associates

    EMPOWERMENT TELECLASSES
    What is a TeleClass?
    A TeleClass is a workshop that is taught in a virtual classroom. Participants from all over the world dial into the classroom at a specific time. Participants get the benefit of the knowledge not only of the facilitator, but also of the other people present in their “virtual community,” enriching the learning environment.

    In addition to our "live" training seminars, The Fruits of Labor also offer a variety of Teleclasses on professional development and leadership empowerment topics.

    Teleclasses are workshops that are taught in a virtual classroom. Participants from all over the world dial into the classroom at a specific time. You might think of it as a "Group Coaching" session which gives you all the benefits of coaching - without the all of the expenses.

    Participants get the benefit of the knowledge not only of the facilitator, but also of the other people present in their "virtual community" enriching the learning environment.

    These classes are highly interactive and can be taken from the convenience of home or office (wherever there is a telephone). Teleclasses make learning fun, convenient and affordable for participants and provide an option for people who may otherwise be unable to attend a traditional seminar.

    We offer teleclasses to individuals who are interested in discovering new tools and techniques. Individuals who share similar challenges and experiences attend the classes. You learn together while exchanging skills and tips. You also get the opportunity to hear diverse perspectives and ways to handle situations.

    The Fruits of Labor also customizes Teleclasses for organizations on specific topics as needed.

    Benefits of Teleclasses
  • Take classes from the comfort and privacy of your own home or office (or wherever you feel comfortable calling in).
  • Save time and money. There is no travel or traffic!
  • Interact with participants from all over North America and the World.
  • Experience and focus on practical applications of new skills that can be used immediately (often as soon as you hang-up the phone).
  • Enjoy a quick and easy format to "sharpen the saw" and stay abreast of new cutting-edge information on professional development topics.
  • The only difference in "extraordinary" and ordinary is the little "extra."

    Assessments
    Discovery 360 degree Feedback™
    Have you ever wondered what others really think about you? Well the 360 degree tool is designed to enable others' thoughts to assist you in understanding your behavior. This tool gives you the ability to see yourself through the eyes of others and use what you see as a constructive source to improve. Behavioral Style Profile: Managing for Success®- This DISC based assessment tool provides an accurate analysis of natural and adapted behavioral strengths. It enables you to understand your behavioral style. This can lead to an immediate improvement in effectiveness and productivity, and increased commitment and cooperation from others.

    Mirror Coaching

    The best data is seeing what you do.  As your coach, we will observe you in key environments and offer feedback immediately following encounters.  This helps to determine what you really do well and how you can improve and improve both you and your team.

    Goal Setting
    Develop Individual Keys to Your Success Action Plan- We will partner with you to prioritize what areas we should focus on to help you get results you need to achieve your goals. We typically recommend starting with the "low hanging fruit." It helps you to see results quickly and it makes it easier to work on some of the more challenging developmental areas. All goals are SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relative, Timely)

    Coaching
    One-on-One Telephone or One-on-One Face-to-Face sessions designed to create a safe environment to explore goals, values, and to define personal success. As your coach, we will partner with you to help you construct plans and measure progress, producing a strong foundation for personal growth.

    Continuous Improvement
    As your goals become actualized, we will partner with you to determine the next steps (which may include a new focus). The goal of any "good" Coach should be to gradually remove herself from of the process. This phase is designed to assist you in actualizing on the coaching process beyond your sessions. You have the option in this phase of decreasing or increasing the contact sessions with your Coach, or developing a new plan that you could potentially monitor.
