About
Dr. Cherry is a leadership psychologist, Master Certified Coach, and trusted advisor to government and private-sector leaders. With over 25 years of experience and more than $8 million in secured federal and corporate contracts, she has become known as “The CEO WhisperHer®”—the strategist leaders call when the stakes are high and the path forward is unclear.
As founder of the Unsinkable Mind Institute and Managing Partner of Personality Matters, Inc., Dr. Cherry specializes in leadership development, organizational effectiveness, and the neuroscience of decision-making under pressure. Her work centers on a singular philosophy: leaders don’t fail from lack of strategy—they fail when their nervous system hijacks their executive function. She teaches leaders to operate with clarity, confidence, and composure, even in chaos.
