Her Interview
Ten minutes with Sherri
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success first and foremost to my faith, with God all things are possible, along with my self-motivation and the willingness to take initiative. I believe in continuously learning and teaching myself new skills, at the “young” age of 61, I am still pursuing new opportunities to learn and grow. I am thankful for family and friends who have stood beside me and encouraged me along the way. You do not have to walk this road alone!
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I’ve received is to never give up, follow through on what I start, and pursue my dreams. I’ve learned to ignore external criticism, avoid self-sabotage, be self aware and stay focused on my goals rather than letting outside noise distract me. Never let a negative video tape play over and over in your mind. Do not give it power over your life!
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women is to put people first and lead with heart, passion, and a genuine desire to serve others. When you prioritize helping others and lead through service, success and career advancement will follow. People will see your authenticity! It usually is contagious!
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
Economic pressures and tight budget constraints present ongoing challenges in business development, compounded by the heavy volume of behind-the-scenes work required across the HOA industry. I have tremendous respect for the dedicated professionals who work tirelessly behind the scenes for the residents and communities they serve.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Faith, honesty, service, love, and integrity are the values that guide me in both my professional and personal life. I believe in being authentic, accepting others without judgment, and meeting people where they are. Above all, I strive to serve others with a genuine heart, compassion, and passion. I would rather care too much than not at all.
