Sherrill’s practice specializes in strategic human resource and business management solutions for global, small business and individual clients offering leadership development, culture transformation, coaching and communications. She is the researcher and author of SHRM’s toolkit “Behind the Lines: 10 Steps to Becoming a Military-Ready Employer; a frequent media resource; and advocate for integrative workplace strategies, improved legislation and military-transition programs that support successful transitions for military-connected talent.

Three of the six SHRM Pinnacle Award recognized programs she spearheaded support successful career transition for military talent. Special resource and educational events produced for clients and non-profits deliver a  “whole person” approach supporting the needs of military and their families.  Co-produced events include: the award wining Annual Stand Down in Morristown supporting at-risk and homeless veterans transition to self-sufficiency; and Annual Hiring & Resource Fair - a networking, hiring, conference experience for job seeking former military and employers.  Sherrill’s 25 plus years of volunteer leadership include Senior Advisory and Board roles for: “We Are Veterans” (national, led by PBS affiliate, WGVU); VETSweekNJ, hosted by Community Hope, Inc..; and Military & Veterans Affairs Director, Garden State-Council-SHRM.  In partnership with United Way Northern NJ, she developed and co-leads the state-wide coalition “NJ Supports Vets”. Her current projects include co-authoring: “PTS in the Workplace, “It’s Not Just a Veteran Issue” and a series of “Making the Connection” guides for employers, state councils and chapters to develop successful outreach with military talent.
