About Wholeness@Work

Where this began

On 18 May 2017, Cheryl's heart broke at the news of the death by suicide of Mikhail Hendricks, a promising Stellenbosch University law student. His passing deeply affected her purpose. Since 2019 she has been developing training interventions that support students and graduates in their transition into the world of work. We can't lose any more of our incredible students.

How it grew

Cheryl built the Wholeness@Work transformation model on research in logotherapy, neuroplasticity and positive psychology, interweaving narrative, happenstance and coaching career-development theories. The Wholeness Work Readiness Programme has reached around 15,000 people through in-person and online sessions, financial literacy content licenses and public talks, including TEDx.

Where we are today

This iconoclastic first-generation professional has navigated 18 job titles, eight industries and three careers over 27 years. Today Cheryl lives in New Zealand, where she is Philanthropy Team Manager at World Vision New Zealand, a member of CDANZ and PSANZ, and is exploring links to Te Whare Tapa Wha, helping people stand in their mana.
