About Cheryl Scanlan

Cheryl Scanlan, MCC, CMCC is a former executive with a multi-million dollar firm in New York who loves the Lord. 

In 2003, Tom, her husband and best friend of 35+ years, suggested coaching as a possible ministry for Cheryl. She followed his advice. In 2004, Cheryl began coaching even as she battled one of the worse cases of Lyme Disease on record at the time. Her work began in her local church of 4,000, where she had previously held numerous positions, such as Women’s Minister and Care Director. 

Cheryl is primarily a business and executive coach with over 12,000 hours of coaching experience. She has worked with thousands of C-Levels and business owners within C3Advantage to develop high-performance organizations, foster executive health, and prepare organizations for critical transitions.

Currently, Cheryl serves as Provost of PCCI (Professional Christian Coaching Institute), and has partnered with Chris McCluskey for ten years and oversees the instructors, mentor coaching, and the CPLC certification process, and curriculum management.

As discussed in the podcast, Cheryl’s core passion is to see God’s people walk in step with Him. Within her nonprofit, Promised Land Living, Cheryl and her team equip certified coach presenters with tools to guide participants through a curriculum as they learn to walk in step with the Lord. Through a group and individual coaching method, Promised Land Living helps participants move into God’s best for their life.

Would you like to press pause on the endless cycle of hurry and worry? If yes, then tune into this extremely important podcast. Because we all have unconscious beliefs, unspoken fears, and hidden habits we so easily rely on that feed our fast-paced culture. Whether the disembodied voices you hear are from others or yourself... past or present... it's time to silence them. 

• Stop mentally rehearsing all your self-sabotaging thoughts so you can start moving ahead with the things you intend to do.

• Shed light on unseen factors and the specific mindsets that convince you that you can't accomplish your goals and find out how you can reach your greatest potential.

• Learn more about "hurry sickness" (yes: it's a real thing!) and how you can heal from the harrowing effects of time urgency.

She is an expert in option coaching techniques and is passionate about equipping other pregnancy centers with the knowledge and skills needed to use coaching conversation to empower the abortion determined mother to make a decision that both she and her child can live with.
