Testimonials

“I am extremely impressed with Dr. Lakeya Cherry’s presentation at our recent conference. I work for a labor organization and was looking for someone who was familiar with labor’s infrastructure to give a presentation. Lakeya took the time to learn about and understand the culture of my organization and her presentation at the conference was motivational, insightful, and highly informative. Based on my self-reflection after listening to Dr. Cherry’s presentation, I now have a different and renewed perspective on effective leadership. She comes with my highest recommendation.”

Gary R. Allen, General Vice President | International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers

"Dr. Cherry ran a bespoke workshop for us on Microagressions at work. She is such an incredible speaker, she held the attention of 100+ people for an hour! She strikes a great balance of informative and interactive which is not easy. We had amazing feedback after the event and people are still talking about it weeks later. It's 100% true and we will immediately think of you for any future workshops!”

Ciara Stacey | Head of People | Signal AI

"Dr. Lakeya is brilliant, skilled, and passionate about developing and coaching others to their next level. She provided a two-day Dare To Lead workshop for the inaugural Black Administrators in Child Welfare National Inaugural Cohort: Sankofa Institute for African American Leaders and elevated the atmosphere with her authenticity, listening ear, and compassion. Participating in this workshop stretches any person to explore how to be vulnerable in the quest of achieving one’s best self as a Black Leader."

"It's always refreshing in the business/nonprofit world to encounter a person who is an expert in their field, can over-deliver what they promise, and maintain integrity and authenticity. This is what I have encountered with Lakeya. I hired her to facilitate a workshop "Rumbling with Vulnerability" for Willie's Warriors which is Black Womens leadership Fellowship that I oversee at the Chicago Foundation for Women. Her insight, attention to detail, and foresight helped me to build a strong foundation for the warriors, that carried them women through the fellowship, building a very close-knit community despite it being virtual experience. She pushed them to be reflective and introspective about the ways the vulnerability can be a tool to enhance the leadership frameworks they are already existing in. Lakeya is a dynamic and engaging facilitator and I cannot wait to work with her in the future."

Marline Johnson | Program Officer | Chicago Foundation for Women

"We searched for a staff development trainer who could help us build and nourish a solid organizational culture. Lakeya led our staff in sessions about psychological safety, fostering trust, and establishing sound norms. With her guidance, we identified potentially disruptive assumptions regarding staff expectations, found growth opportunities in historical pain points that may have affected the organization, and advanced towards setting clear standards concerning organizational norms. Lakeya listened and gathered a non-judgmental and unbiased view of where we were as an organization and empowered us to discover ways to strengthen our culture and establish a supportive community. We eagerly encourage any organization seeking thorough and impactful staff development to secure Lakeya’s services."
