I hired Sherry to do my business planning initially, but I have found that she is very skilled in all aspects of counseling, including dealing with my sometimes difficult family, helping me set goals for my health and improving my relationship with my partner. I have two grown children that live on their own, but that doesn't come without challenges. I worry about my children and grand children and Sherry's compassionate ear and sound guidance have helped me to learn to let go and be a better mother. I also have health issues and can be h****** myself. Sherry has encouraged me to take better care of myself through exercise and eating well and it has improved my health - physically and mentally. And, my relationship with my partner has always been good. I'm lucky to have such a caring and devoted loved one in my life, but all relationships have challenges. I've been with my partner for 10 years now and I've pleaded and begged and threatened and tried just about every tactic out there to help my partner over come her fear of driving and get a driver's license. Our lives were getting busier and it was getting tougher to play chaffeur and to be quite honest, I was getting resentful. Sherry was able to motivate my partner to get a driver's license and she did in three months what I could not do in a decade. I still have to pinch myself sometimes because this has been a life altering event. My partner's self esteem has literally "driven" through the roof. I have such gratitude for stumbling across such a wonderful counselor. It's not an easy thing to find the right counselor, but I think I hit the jack pot with this one! read more

Northwest Coaching Group: A few months ago, I attended a local industry meeting/seminar and the keynote speaker was Sherry Jordan, owner of Northwest Coaching Group in Portland, Or. It was a meeting for remodeling professionals which is the industry that I am in. I like to attend speaking engagements for direction, ideas and motivation. Let's face it, being a business owner can get stressful and a good speaker can get your fire going again! I was excited to meet Sherry and hear what she had to say because I knew how successful her coaching clients are. Mrs. Jordan coaches a business that I do business with as well and I have seen that business grow incredibly. She has helped them with their business planning and in cultivating professional relationships. This business I refer to has grown from a home-based business to a company of 16+ employees now with an office and warehouse. (So it goes without saying that Sherry Jordan has a lot of experience coaching businesses within my industry.) Once the speaking portion of the meeting started, I listened and took many notes, because I realized that what she was offering to everyone that day was very valuable. She even gave a handout so that we could keep track and have what we needed to implement her techniques when the seminar was over. Overall, Sherry was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. She really wanted to give something to everyone listening that day. I left ready to conquer the world again, or at least, Portland OR. I look forward to hearing Sherry Jordan speak again in the future! read more

Sherry Jordan is the first person I turn to with personal and business issues when I want an unmatched, professional approach to moving through and resolving those issues. Sherry's style is to pose very insightful and thought provoking questions that lead her clients to realize solutions that fit their unique situation. She doesn't force solutions on her clients; instead she uses her intellect, training, experience and methodical questioning so that the client realizes what they have been doing that worked and didn't work and what change is necessary. Sherry's clients tend to feel a sense of huge relief after working with her, because they know they have someone to challenge or support them when the need arises. Sherry has helped me regain control over my time and life balance and communicate more effectively. I have the highest regard for Sherry, and there isn't a week that goes by that I don't see individuals whose quality of life, sense of personal satisfaction or professional growth couldn't be improved by her. In my personal and business circles, there is no one I recommend more regularly than Sherry Jordan. Take advantage of Sherry's Masters of Arts in Psychology and the personal life challenges she's faced herself to better your life.

Sherry Jordan at Northwest Coaching Group has absolutely made an enormous positive impact for my startup business. After starting my small business, I quickly realized I needed to do some additional business planning. Sherry came highly recommended by my personal network and all her amazing reviews. After my successful initial business planning I decided to hire Sherry for ongoing business coaching. We meet monthly to discuss any issues that arise and have regular problem solving strategy meetings. As our coaching has continued she has been able to recommend multiple business partners from book keepers to graphic designers who have helped take my business from infancy into adolescents. I thought we set excessive financial goals at the beginning of working with Sherry, but in the year and a half that I've worked with her I've had to increase these goals four separate times due to my rapid growth. I can't recommend Sherry highly enough for any of her business coaching or yearly business planning and look forward to our continued work in the coming years. read more

Northwest Coaching Group is definitely a solid rock in the mix of consultants out there. I have used Sherry Jordan before through the company I work for and was happy. Lately I had been really feeling a bit stagnant with my career trajectory so I met with her again. What a different a couple hours with Sherry made. When she says she is a business coach & career counselor boy does she mean it. Her kind of knowledge only comes with experience of successfully helping many folks find the right career path. It really shows. She was really able to help me clarify how to look for opportunities inside my organization and prepare for them. She helped me to identify the skills I needed to develop and to offer me resources to assist in that development. As well as help me draw a clear picture my long term goal and really design the steps along the way to get to where I want to go. Whether you are a successful business wanting to take it to the next level, or a professional wanting to evolve, Sherry has the ability to guide you to your goals. read more

I have had the pleasure of attending two of Sherry's seminars. One was on team planning and how diverse groups can work together, setting mutually agreed upon goals and strategizes in order to achieve the groups objective. Sherry actually spent the evening prodding each one of us (gently of course) to take ownership in a certain aspect of the group and then put it in writing. I did not envy Sherry because the group as rather reserved and did not volunteer much, but she did an excellent job in helping us gain a clearer direction. The second seminar was on business planning and what needs to be done to establish goals specific to my business. While there was not quite the opportunity to engage and interact, Sherry was well prepared and had hand-outs to help with the material she covered. Sherry's mannerism is very calming and relaxing, which takes the edge off of some sensitive material. I would highly recommend Sherry for business coaching for small or large groups--she can custom tailor to your specific needs! read more

I met with Sherry recently and was pleasantly surprised at how much coaching she gave me just in the short time I was able to spend with her. She was in her element and on task as soon as we sat down and her attitude about givers gain was apparent right from the start. Her holistic approach to the challenges and problem I was describing to her was refreshing to me.
