Sherry Erickson has enjoyed working with students from middle school through college level for more than 20 years. As her students progressed to different periods in their lives and into adulthood, Sherry saw various struggles become apparent. Former students who had thrived academically were unaware and consequently unprepared for responsibilities outside of the classroom. A few examples include keeping up with establishing credit, paying bills, maintaining organization, routine home and auto maintenance, and preparing for a healthy financial future.

Sherry discovered that not only were students lacking essential real-world knowledge, but many adults were as well. Due to life changes such as divorce, being widowed, or transitioning back into the workforce, many adults needed skills and information not taught elsewhere.

With a passion for educating others, Sherry knew she could be of value to coach people of all ages. She collaborated with Maggie Reeves and together they conceived Skills for Success. Maggie, like Sherry, was also a professional educator, coupled with a background in the financial sector. Sherry eagerly awaits the opportunity to teach all participants the strategies crucial for managing their personal affairs and living a life free of stress, worry, and problems.
