ABOUT cher
Transformation is just one decision away!
Cher Anderton, MSW, LICSW, is a mental health therapist, speaker, author and educator who specializes in helping organizations and teams bridge the gap between knowing and doing the things that foster well-being, resilience and success. With a background in school counseling, educational consulting, and trauma-informed practices, Cher understands that most workplace challenges—burnout, communication breakdowns, and resistance to change—stem from a lack of essential social-emotional skills. Her expertise lies in helping organizations identify and address these gaps at their root, rather than merely treating surface-level symptoms like stress, conflict or disengagement.

At the heart of Cher’s work is what she calls Human Kind Development, otherwise known as Social-Emotional Intelligence (SEI)—the ability to recognize, understand, and manage emotions in ways that enhance relationships and workplace dynamics. While most professionals were taught technical skills, few were ever given explicit instruction on setting boundaries, processing emotions or navigating difficult conversations—skills that directly impact leadership effectiveness, team cohesion and overall productivity. Cher makes these concepts accessible through relatable storytelling, real-world examples and evidence-based strategies that help teams build sustainable habits for success.
What sets Cher apart is her ability to see the connections that others miss. With a unique blend of expertise spanning mental health, conflict resolution, organizational dynamics and education, she helps organizations shift from reactive problem-solving to proactive skill-building. Her approach goes beyond temporary fixes, instead fostering long-term adaptability and resilience. Through interactive workshops, speaking events, podcast, online membership, and her book Could It Be Better?, Cher empowers individuals and teams to lean into discomfort, reframe challenges and create cultures where both people and business thrive.
Cher’s clients have reported significant shifts in communication, stress management and overall team morale after implementing her strategies. By working with her, organizations gain the tools to foster trust, encourage collaboration and build environments where employees feel valued, heard and empowered to do their best.
Organizations that invest in SEI development see tangible benefits—lower turnover, increased engagement, stronger leadership and a workplace culture that supports both well-being and performance.
Cher’s mission is simple: to equip organizations with the skills that make well-being achievable, not just aspirational. She partners with leaders who are ready to move beyond quick fixes and commit to meaningful, lasting change—so that workplace challenges become less frequent, less overwhelming, and ultimately, less of a barrier to success.
