Primary Focus
I’ve never led a Fortune 100 team.
I’ve never run a billion-dollar org.
But I have sat with the people who do-—and the ones they’re trying to understand.
What I bring isn’t a corner-office view.
It’s something more foundational: a deep understanding of how people learn, grow, and sometimes quietly fall apart inside systems that don’t see them.

I wrote The Effort Myth to help parents and students escape the false belief that trying harder always leads to success. That myth doesn’t disappear when you grow up. It just moves into the workplace. There I work with leaders who want to breathe new life into how they lead.
Primary Focus Details
In my international private practice, I create personalized success strategies with high-potential clients of all ages, especially ones challenged by organization and procrastination, particularly at times of life transition at school, college, and work. They underperform despite their capabilities and may struggle to launch.
~~~~~
I spent five years as the coach of a partnerships leader who spearheaded a community-wide project in Australia. It brought an award-winning positive education program to 27 schools throughout a small city.

I've had clients based in Europe, East Asia, the Middle East, the US, Canada, Mexico, and Australia.

For K-12 in the US, I've designed strategies for navigating the complex world of learning and special education for parents and students, by blending Positive Psychology research and education best practices into context-friendly curriculum and interventions.


I am multi-published.

Capstone title and abstract
Building a Foundation for Positive Psychology in Schools --Sherri Fisher and Dave Shearon

Abstract: Teachers in a large, non-urban school system completed one or more positive psychology questionnaires assessing strengths of character; happiness; orientation toward pleasure, engagement, and meaning as three different paths to happiness; explanatory style; orientation toward teaching as a job, a career, or a calling; and job satisfaction. These results of these 170 participants are compared with those obtained from an Internet sample of 2,538 teachers on four of the same instruments. Correlations between the results for each of the two samples are examined. The resulting profiles of the two samples are compared, and suggestions are made as to possible uses of such data to guide improvement in large school systems.
