How Can I Help?

Based on her best selling book of the same title, Sherrie shares with audiences tips and suggestions that best help support a grieving friend.

We all know someone who’s lost a loved one, or is going through a divorce, or has been diagnosed with cancer. But how many of us know what to do or say that can really help them?

​Sherrie says, “After losing our son Brandon, my husband and I also lost some of our closest friends. I want to make sure people have the information they need, so they can comfortably support a grieving friend and strengthen those bonds of friendship, not destroy them.”

​By sharing her personal journey of losing her son and consequently losing close friendships, Sherrie talks about transforming that pain into a tool to help others.

She says her mission now, is to help others support those they love and care about in ways that are comfortable and that help in the healing process.

EnVision Your BEST Life

Dream it, See it, Believe it, Recieve it!

As kids, we were great at dreaming big dreams!

But somewhere along the way, we started to lose site of what we found most exciting in life and start settling for a smaller, safer path, which can lead to many feeling unmotivated and less engaged in our work and in our life.

Those dreams, desires and goals are still inside of us, we just have to find a way to access them again.

It all starts with EnVISIONing Success.

This fun, interactive workshop is designed to re-inspire you, your workforce, students or volunteers.
In addition, she provides tools to help inspire them to think about the kind of person they want to become as they envision what they want to achieve.
The EnVISION Success Workshop offers solutions that can help anyone:
Be more effective in the workplace
Renew enthusiasm and energy for life and work
Have a lasting impact on personal outlook, attitude and morale.

You don’t have to merely survive the loss of someone you love, you can and should THRIVE!
Grief can be excruciatingly painful, but it does NOT have to last forever and grievers needs to know they can LOVE their lives again after loss, IF they choose it and if they do the work to make it happen.

Now she works to shine the light on hope and healing and helps people rediscover the JOY in living after loss.

Step Out of Your Stories and Step Into Your GREATNESS

You could say former TV News Anchor and reporter, Sherrie Dunlevy is a master storyteller. After all, she got paid to tell stories. But the truth is, we are all master storytellers, and most of the stories we tell are not based in fact.

Sherrie helps you step out of your stories so you can step into your greatness.

Did she just say the F word?

The dreaded F-word is not what most people think it is, it’s FEAR!
Fear of failure
Fear of embarrassment
Fear of success
Fear of rejection
Fear keeps us from living our best life and it robs us of our dreams, happiness, and success! Fear leads to a life full of no’s when we should be saying YES to many of life’s opportunities and experiences. In this talk, Sherrie shares with the audience how saying YES to life has lead to some of her greatest adventures and successes to date.
