What are people saying of Sherry’s presentations
“Sherry Benson Podolchuk participated in a panel that advised MP Judy Sgro and me on measures for improving the organizational culture of the RCMP. She was an exceptionally capable, thoughtful and insightful participant. She speaks clearly and powerfully. She has an intrinsic credibility and speaks with authority. At the same time, she is very engaging and approachable. I am continuously inspired by her work and her words.”
