Cheryl Pounder
Gold Medal Champion
It's always about the journey. That’s the message women’s hockey champion Cheryl Pounder seeks to instill in every audience she speaks to. Cheryl believes that our actions and values have a direct impact on our team, affecting the culture of our group! We must learn to self- observe, share information and be accountable to our performance. The result…efficiency! Our environment is constantly changing, how do we adapt? How do we prepare? How do we work within our group? With every failure comes an opportunity to learn. Seize the opportunity.
Pounder is an interactive and engaging speaker who shows audiences that true achievement is found on the way to winning gold. We must “Grow for Gold”.
