Bio
Laura Stack
Sherie hired me to speak on time management at the FedFleet 2006 Conference, which had a theme of Driving toward Excellence. My charge was to help 200 government employees be more productive. She was such a joy to work with! Sherie has great passion for helping the audience members maximize output and making the best use of the resources they have as government agencies. She was obviously very well-respected and highly regarded by the audience. And she made my job easy! She was responsive and organized and provided everything we needed to make the event go off without a hitch. Sherie took the time to work closely with me to help me apply my expertise to her industry and specific issues. I would be delighted to work on any event that involves Sherie!

I have been in the meetings and events industry for over 20 years holding positions as meeting planner, hotel sales professional and professional speaker, facilitator & coach. In that time, I have run across very few people who posses the acumen that is part of Sherie's daily arsenal. Sherie stands apart as a meeting professional in that everything she touches turns to gold. With an eye toward detail, quality and perfection - she brings it to the table 100% every time she takes on a project. Her sense of humor is the icing on the cake - her smile and warm spirit add to the total package that IS Sherie Howell. I would recommend her for anything she is being considered for as her ability to adapt and execute is unparalleled. I look forward to the opportunity to work with her again in the near future!
