John interviews Cherri Forsyth, who helps CEO's, business owners and businesses to uplift their company's Emotional Intelligence for stronger people at home and work, increasing their profit. Cherri specialises in Personal Coaching as well as corporate, as well as Grief Counselling, helping her clients to develop emotional resilience and mentoring and supporting other life coaches.
Cherri and John discuss her move into life coaching, her experience of grief and move into counselling, the similarities in the different spheres of coaching and her marriage and its near dissolution and final resurrection.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Starting out as a Sports Coach, Cherri now is an Emotional Intelligence and Resilience Coach, Grief Counsellor and Mental Trainer for Elite Athletes.
  • Emotional Resilience coaching is helping people deal with hardship and crisis and come through it in a very positive way.  
  • The skills and tools taught as a one on one coach are also the same as those taught in businesses and to elite athletes.
  • Emotional Intelligence means having the skills and resilience to react to others in a positive way as opposed to more negative responses. 
  • Cherri’s Grief Counselling came from the experience of losing her daughter and her husband's extreme reaction to grief which ruined their marriage. However, through psychology and counselling the marriage has continued successfully.

BEST MOMENTS
‘I am very passionate about what I do and I think the variety is really good because it keeps everything fresh all the time.’ - Cherri
‘If we are criticised and we react by being really defensive that’s not going to achieve much. But if we can realise, though criticism might not be delivered in a great manner and might make us want to feel really defensive, I’ve got a choice how I can deal with this.’ - Cherri
‘It really stops you from going into one of those unwanted emotions that don’t really help any situation.’ – John
‘I had to put my own grief of losing our daughter completely to the side and concentrate on the relationship because our elder daughter was still at home and I didn’t want her to be in the situation of having lost her sister and then her parents getting a divorce.’ – Cherri
‘It’s really difficult for some people to look at themselves and say ‘I actually did do this’. The whole fragility around that frame is really difficult for people to step into.’ – John
‘With the affair and me kicking him out of home and him losing his job, all of those things together still didn’t kick him out of the denial.’ – Cherri
