About the conference

Grit+Grace with Cheryle is a life-changing conference for women leaders. This two-day virtual conference begins with soul work and purpose to help you gain the confidence, skills, and a game plan to succeed in the workplace—while prioritizing self-care in your personal life.

Are you wondering how others get their hands on the leadership opportunities you know you’re ready for?

Are you ready to grow but can’t afford to implode the career you’ve worked so hard to build?

Are you spending too much time on work that doesn’t matter to you?

If so, then this is the perfect event for you!

“When I tell you the first fifteen minutes changed my life, I am not exaggerating. Watching a team of high profile, high-achieving women navigate their vulnerability in front of a global audience, helped me to see that I have been holding myself back! I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!”

Amanda Lee

“I gained an increased sense of self-worth and self-trust. Many of the sessions helped me to better understand and put into practice the importance of self-love and purpose and how it plays out in my career and friendships.”

Adam Cheise

“It was nice to know that I’m not alone in the struggles that I face. That I’m not a unique case in trying to find my place, my balance, my purpose and value. I got some wonderful tips about how I can take better care of myself and reframe some of the ways I have been thinking.”

Amanda Lee

“I left the event with a renewed confidence in my abilities to create the career of my dreams. I gained clarity on what I need to do for my life as far as career and personal development. I met extraordinary women who I may never have met in my regular day-to-day.”

Adam Cheise

“I learnt so much! It was a day well spent and got me thinking about all the different things I could do to be in control of my own career.”

Amanda Lee

“I have received a number of tools that I can use, starting today, to enhance my best self, begin working on my hustle, take time to engage with my support system, and truly find my purpose.”

MEET THE
FOUNDER OF
GRIT+GRACE WITH CHERYLE

I walked corporate hallways and sat in boardrooms where I was often the only woman and woman of color. As a C-suite executive at a global aviation company, CEO of the Chicago Urban League, candidate for U.S. Senate, communications director for an Illinois Governor, and a VP at National Public Radio, I learned how to convert the obstacles and challenges that women face every day into wins for the company and for my career success.

Today, I am the CEO of MyOwnDoctor, a groundbreaking telehealth company.

In my intimate TEDx Talk “Grit and Grace,” I validate the career trajectories of go-getters like myself, but also implore women to self-advocate and practice grace and love in action toward self as a sustainable model of success. The overwhelming response to this message led me to consider ways to serve women on a broader scale. Hence, Grit + Grace Day was born.
