Cheryl Marks Young, MAS PCC
Cheryl Marks Young is not your typical executive coach. She’s a business-for-good trailblazer with a mission to help leaders grow purpose-driven companies that create sustainable impact financially, personally, and organizationally. As a Certified Executive Coach, Strategic Business Advisor, and Lifelong Learner, Cheryl works with visionary founders, CEOs, and senior executives who are ready to scale without losing themselves in the process.
At the heart of Cheryl’s work is a powerful belief: the most effective leaders are Hungry, Humble, and Human. That philosophy isn’t just a tagline. It’s the foundation of how she coaches, leads, and lives. Cheryl helps leaders unlock financial sustainability and long-term growth not by pushing harder or chasing trends, but by aligning business goals with values, vision, and the well-being of the people driving it all.
Her clients come to her burned out or burdened by the weight of responsibility. They leave with renewed clarity, stronger systems, and a deeper sense of purpose. From restructuring cash flow and business models to helping leaders rediscover their own resilience, Cheryl’s approach bridges the hard numbers with the human heartbeat of leadership.
With decades of real-world experience in finance, operations, and leadership, combined with an innate ability to meet people where they are, Cheryl offers more than just coaching. She becomes a trusted strategic partner, helping business owners build legacies, not just revenue streams. Her signature blend of financial strategy and human-centered leadership allows clients to create companies that are both profitable and nourishing, for themselves, their teams, and the communities they serve.
Cheryl is the author of Nourish to Lead: The Sustainability of Leadership (Fall 2025 Release), a groundbreaking guide for those seeking to move from reactive burnout to regenerative leadership. She also hosts the Hungry. Humble. Human. podcast, where she shares unfiltered stories, real conversations, and insights that speak directly to the soul of leadership.
Through one-on-one coaching, team coaching, keynotes, and leadership retreats, Cheryl empowers her clients to lead boldly, grow wisely, and live fully, while doing business for good. Because for her, profits are not the point, they’re the proof that purpose works when it’s backed by strategy.
Cheryl Marks Young is where mission meets metrics, where growth is grounded, and where good leaders become great stewards of their people, profits, and purpose.
