Her Interview

Ten minutes with Sheri

01What do you attribute your success to?

I attribute my success to building strong relationships with leadership, continuously learning, and consistently focusing on the bigger picture beyond day-to-day tasks. In my current role, I’m proud of having the confidence to voice my perspective and contribute to strategic discussions with our leadership team and CEO. My involvement in Maxwell Leadership training and mentorship, along with earning my SHRM certification and coaching credentials, has strengthened my ability to grow as a leader and add value in every interaction. Ultimately, I’m committed to becoming better each day so I can continue making a meaningful impact.

02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?

The best career advice I’ve ever received came from Maxwell Leadership: be genuine to who you are. I’ve learned that success is not just about achieving results—it’s about adding value to others and genuinely valuing people. This principle has had a profound impact on the way I work, lead, and build relationships. By staying authentic and focusing on serving others, I’ve been able to create meaningful connections and make a positive difference in both my professional and personal interactions.

03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

My biggest advice to people, especially if they're wanting to go into human resources, is to learn to be able to separate what you have to do sometimes in the job and who you are personally in your life, because you get to deal on a daily basis with other people's worst days. Sometimes it's termination, sometimes it's a loss of a family member. I think having that understanding that if they're mad at you and yelling at you, it's probably not about you - there's probably something else going on. So try not to take it personally, which only comes with experience.

04What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?

Integrity, honesty, being genuine - those really are the core values. Living out my faith and who I am, and that really is where my values come from.
