Because of the struggle, she found success

From humble beginnings to a leader in social impact, Sheryle’s story is one of resilience, dedication, and a commitment to making a difference.

“I’m an idealistic realist hoping for a better future, while recognizing that life is full of challenges and hard decisions. I accept that I can’t do it all, but I do my best to make a difference. After all, we shouldn’t let the realities of life get in the way of our dreams.” – Sheryle Gillihan

What sets Sheryle Gillihan apart?

01

Servant Leadership

I never set out to lead. I set out to serve. What surprised me was how many people started following the clarity I brought to complex situations. It turns out leadership is not about titles. It is about trust.

02

Digital Innovation

I have always loved figuring out how things work, then flipping them to work even better for more people. It’s not about using more tech. It’s about using it well. I use it to reveal possibilities and create real progress.

03

Collective Impact

Collaboration is not a strategy. It is who I am. I believe the best ideas are built together, and I have seen how shared ownership transforms both organizations and communities.

04

Empathic Approach

People come first. Whether I am guiding a team or shaping a solution, empathy is the starting point. That is where meaningful connection and lasting change begin.
