The Formula for Continual Expansion into Your Own Greatness:
Contentment + Progress = Happiness
Though deep in the throes of childhood family chaos with two unstable and unhappy parents-- divorcing, marrying
others, then remarrying—amidst constant moving and dysfunctional childrearing —Sherry Stirling Fernandez still
knew that she was destined for great things. She believed in her potential for greatness!
And that is something she wants you to instill in you! Along with the
clearly defined pathway to achieve it!
Sherry’s new USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller Life
Mastery: Personal Progression Toward an Infinite Potential makes
the case that if you are not progressing toward a better version of
yourself, you can never achieve any true sense of joy …For happiness
comes from recognizing and celebrating the fulfillment of your personal
goals no matter how challenging -- and then setting out on the road to the
next one. A lifetime of progress toward your infinite potential is what
makes you exceptional, fills your heart and enables you to leave your
imprint on the world--your legacy!
Her incredibly powerful book provides you the keys to embark on this
quest—the determination of your WHY—without which you will likely fail
quickly. The WHAT—what needs your focus and attention to achieve Life
Mastery in eight different aspects of your life. And the HOW—getting an
assessment of where you are; what goals and action steps to take; the
systems to put in place and the habits you need to instill (or replace).
This exceptional manual gives you everything you need to get you on the
road to Life Mastery, and inspires you to take that first step!
Along the way, Sherry tells her own inspiring story: how she left home at
17, a wild teen flirting with thievery, drugs and self-destruction, pregnant at 19, married by 22 and living a “hippy”
lifestyle with all that implied in the 1970s. She and husband Ken lived on the edge of destitution until they began
to explore personal development through books, tapes and live events with leaders in the movement. Slowly they
inched themselves and their six—yes, count them!—six children forward toward a better, more rewarding and
financially strong life.
Much of the impetus for that came from Sherry’s relentless pursuit of inner fortitude, wisdom and the goals she
set for herself to overcome habits, fears and resistance that held back her progress toward infinite potential –and
sharing with Ken what she learned along the way. Ultimately, Ken started a highly successful construction supply
company, and Sherry launched FitMania, a fast-expanding boutique fitness and personal development business,
that also guided clients on mastery over all aspects of their life that contributed to achieving or exceeding the
goals they set for themselves and the dreams they had in their hearts.
Her years with FitMania were rich and rewarding, but it was the transformation of her clients that so inspired
Sherry to turn her entire attention to coaching individuals on achieving full Life Mastery by focusing on the
physical, the spiritual, relationships, education, motivation, vocation, money, lifestyle and character.
In fact, her book features an excellent assessment tool that let’s readers determine what areas of their life need
tuning up, and then how to take each of those vulnerable areas forward with the steps to keep moving ahead on
the road to improvement…how to stay motivated and committed to the outcome, never losing sight of your WHY!
So often Sherry observed people in personal transformation programs leave excited and vowing change, only to
slip back into old habits without a practical accountable way to implement that change. A solution to that is what
Life Mastery brings to the discourse.
For, as Sherry holds, as you reach each new victory, that feeling of contentment can only be sustained by
continued progress. And in that combination, lies the key to prolonged happiness.
Life Mastery: Personal Progression Toward an Infinite Potential is available on Amazon.com for $23.49 in
hardcover, $16.95 on softcover, $6.99 Kindle.

Sherry Stirling Fernandez
Biography
For nearly three decades Sherry Stirling Fernandez has been a speaker,
a teacher, a mentor, and is now the author of Life Mastery: Personal
Progression Toward an Infinite Potential.
Sherry, and her husband Ken Fernandez, are a rags-to-riches story.
Against all odds they found success, not only financially, but in each of
the eight areas of Life Mastery - physical, spiritual, relationships,
education, motivation, money, lifestyle and character. The Life Mastery
program is a result of their careful study of the principles of success and
a lifetime of practicing those principles. What makes Sherry unique in her
ability to teach personal development is the years of study and practice
she invested to master the principles she now teaches.
In 2009, in the midst of the recession, Sherry opened a boutique fitness
and personal development business. For more than 25 years, while
raising her large family and previous to opening her business, she had
been involved in the leadership of several civic and church programs.
She also mentored individuals, taught classes, goal setting, motivation,
what men and women want in marriage, preparing for marriage, ecclesiastical topics, nutrition for weight loss,
exercise, leadership and teambuilding. Having developed a wealth of knowledge and skills, she began looking for
a way to put those skills to work on her own terms, and in her own way. It was this desire that led her to open the
fitness business, FitMania, and the parallel personal development program, FitLife.
At FitMania Sherry created and intense group workout program using high intensity interval resistance training,
(HIIRT) and was eventually voted Best in Boise competing with all local gyms. FitMania wasn’t just a gym.
FitMania was very invested in the nutrition side of being lean and healthy as well. In addition to one-on-one food
coaching, it hosted cooking and nutrition classes. On the FitLife side, there were classes on goal setting, finances,
and relationships. As the program grew she developed a certification program to train clients to be trainers. Here
they learned workout physiology, nutrition, leadership, and the FitMania/FitLife culture. Many of these trainers are
now mentors for the Life Mastery Mentoring program.
It was important to Sherry to give back to the community. That meant that FitMania, as a business, was involved
in the community doing free demonstrations, free workouts, body composition analysis at events and participating
in fundraisers. The company also held its own yearly fund raiser for WCA (The Women and Children’s Alliance)
and Sherry was eventually nominated for their prestigious TWIN (Tribute to Women in Industry) Award. The year
following she was their speaker at the reception for the TWIN Award nominee’s.
After selling FitMania to one of her team members, Sherry rebranded her FitLife mentoring program, including the
workbook she had developed, from FitLife to Life Mastery. She continued to mentor, do some workshops and to
speak. Sherry does digital formats for teaching and speaking but she still prefers to mentor in person.
FitMania was not the first, or last, business Sherry owned. In 1986 she and her husband, Ken, opened Concrete
Construction Supply which became a major supplier of construction supplies throughout Idaho and in parts of
Nevada. They still have a love of entrepreneurs and have recently invested in a construction bonding company, a
chocolate store and the newly formed Life Mastery Mentoring program.
Currently Sherry and Ken live in a condo in the heart of Boise, Idaho. They continue to coach and mentor others,
and are still seeking new vistas for their own personal development. They travel extensively and have visited all
seven continents, nearly fifty countries, and all fifty of the United States. They enjoy an active life that includes
scuba diving, hiking, cycling, and kayaking. They still find their richest fulfillment in their marriage and family
relationships and enjoy spending time with their large family. They have just welcomed into this world their twentyfirst grandchild, appropriately named Hope.

The teenage years. . . parents fear this stage, dreading it even while watching their adorable toddlers explore the world. When it arrives, they try to control their teenager, in turn causing their teenager to push back more intensely. It's a natural instinct on both sides: teenagers are changing in every way while trying to assert their independence, and parents are faced with the challenge of coming up with rules, expectations, and standards for behavior without a genuine understanding of what is happening. But the result of this pattern is a parent-child relationship defined by conflict and reactivity--a breeding ground for stress, anger, and anxiety, all of which reinforcing those same cultural stereotypes and worst fears. But it doesn't have to be this way. In this book, family therapist Darby Fox challenges parents to redefine the goals of adolescence by reorienting their focus from what they want their child to be to on who they want their child to be. Darby not only equips parents with the insight to understand the changes taking place in their child's brain and body and support their adolescent's bid for independence, but also offers an approach that allows parents to engage their adolescent in a relationship instead of struggling in an endless battle for control. The book is organized around a series of persistent myths about adolescence, each of which the author tears down with a combination of cutting edge neuroscience research, developmental psychology, and her own mix of clinical observations and experience raising four children.
Darby offers a new model for the parent-child relationship, encouraging parents to let go of the attempt to control their teenager and focus instead on creating mutual respect, providing structure and nurture, and encouraging independence in their developing teenager. She walks through the keys to combining structure and nurture and teaches parents how to connect with their teen while holding them accountable for their behavior. If parents approach teen years with the same thoughtful preparation, sense of awe and wonder, and responsibility that they do the early childhood years, it can be an enjoyable and rewarding developmental stage that deepens, rather than damages, parent-child relationships.
About the Author: Darby Fox, LCSW, is a child and adolescent family therapist in private practice in Connecticut and New York. With over twenty years of experience, she is an expert on parenting, child psychology, and family topics. Appearing regularly on-air and in print media, Fox covers a range of topics, from parenting questions and discipline techniques to current trends in child development. She has also collaborated with Meath Media Group to develop a television series called Fractured Family with Darby Fox. Learn more about Darby @ Darbyfox.com and follow her onIGandTwitter for more!
“In Rehumanizing the Workplace, Rosie, and Jon reinforce what every leader of today needs to
know: people thrive in environments where they feel cared for, safe to create and innovate, and part of an organization's shared purpose.
Let this book guide you in building a team or company through which
people have the opportunity to become their best selves!”
—Bob Chapman, author of Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family and CEO of Barry-Wehmiller
Business-as-usual needs to shift to being more conscious and human. This pandemic has been a wake-up call illuminating how important it is to rehumanize our workplaces. It can be done. It needs to be done. Imagine a world where everyone can come to work as their authentically human, best selves. They feel fulfilled, supported, and cared for. They have meaningful, purposeful work. At the end of the workday, they are able to bring their best selves home, be fully present with their loved ones, tend to their well-being, and replenish their well. This vision is possible. And it is desperately needed!
Our rapidly changing world is becoming increasingly complex and disruptive. And while it brings many opportunities for innovation, it also triggers people to operate from a place of scarcity and self-protection, leading to disconnection and eroding well-being—on both the organizational and individual level. As a result, workplaces have become increasingly dehumanized and are now the fifth leading cause of death in the United States. We have a humanitarian crisis on our hands!
5 Rehumanizing Principles We Can Put Into Practice Now to Foster a Better, Sustainable Future
Organizations and leaders that are emerging better and stronger are focusing on key principles that foster a better, more human way of operating. We can - and must - start to apply these now! Rosieward can speak to your audience about:
Building a Lighthouse
Creating Fearless Environments
Wading in the Messy Middle
How To Show Up as a Leader
How To Find their Tribe
In Rehumanizing the Workplace, Rosie, and Jon reinforce what every leader of today needs to know: people thrive in environments where they feel cared for, safe to create and innovate, and part of an organization's shared purpose. Let this book guide you in building a team or company through which people have the opportunity to become their best selves!
—Bob Chapman, author of Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family and CEO of Barry-Wehmiller
Imagine a world in which you walk into work and feel safe. Imagine using words like compassion, purpose, and belonging to describe your culture. Imagine a workplace where you deeply trust the people around you. Rehumanizing the Workplace teaches us how to create this kind of world. It's practical, actionable, and timely, and it will hit you straight in your heart. If you want to learn how to transform a culture regardless of the position you hold, this is the book for you.
—Kristen Hadeed, founder of Student Maid and author of Permission to Screw Up
Rehumanizing the Workplace is a tour de force. It pulls extensively from the lineage of leadership and organizational research, thought, and practice leadership. It then distills all that into a very readable and practical guide for creating an organization fit for purpose in highly complex environments. It compellingly makes the case for a radically human workplace and for a more conscious approach to capitalism. If you want to create a workplace where people thrive, bring their best, and create amazing results, this book is well worth a read.
—Bob Anderson, chairman of The Leadership Circle and coauthor of Mastering Leadership and Scaling Leadership
Rehumanizing the Workplace is an important and engaging guide to building workplaces that work in the modern world. Its five rehumanizing principles are compelling and actionable. Managers, consultants, and anyone else who wants to help organizations thrive should read this book immediately!
—Amy C. Edmondson, professor at Harvard Business School and author of The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth
Admit it. You've questioned (silently) whether a truly human workplace can be successful in the marketplace. Can kindness and capitalism coexist? Does purpose elevate profit? Can an entire organization of individuals--no bosses, no hierarchy--self-manage themselves into excellence? The answer: yes, yes, and yes. Rehumanizing the Workplace gives example after example of companies generating exceptional performance by prioritizing respect, trust, and meaning. Rich with ideas, richer with practical steps, it's a worthwhile read. But beware, you might run out of reasons to avoid bringing more humanity into your own business.
—Wendy Lynch, Ph.D., co-founder of The Heart of Human Capital blog and coauthor of Get to What Matters: Tools to Transform Conversations at Work
We know that work plays an increasingly vital role in our lives at the same time that the vast majority of people are unfulfilled and removed from their full potential at work. We are in need of new disruptive models that challenge our conventional thinking and instill a sense of humanity at work. Rehumanizing the Workplace is just that--a powerful blend of research, inspiration, and actionable steps for the changes our workforce needs. In their book, Rosie and Jon leave us without an excuse to make measurable progress in the movement to humanize work.
—Arthur Woods, co-founder of Mathison

About RosieWard
I began my career in 1994 in the fitness industry as a group fitness instructor and personal trainer (Zumba is still one of my favorite forms of exercise!). I earned my bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and my master’s degree in Public Health, with a focus, was on worksite health promotion. I became disheartened when I realized the way we approached supporting employee wellness didn't really work and knew I needed to find a better path.
After personally experiencing the ill-effects of a toxic work environment, I was inspired to shift gears and completed my Ph.D. in Organization and Management where I focused on organizational culture, leadership, and coaching.
I started to see how incredibly interconnected our own health and wellbeing are with the organizations where we work. After holding various leadership and consulting roles, I co-founded Salveo Partners, LLC, a consulting and professional development firm dedicated to rehumanizing workplaces so organizations and their people can thrive.

Aligning the Dots: The new paradigm to grow any business
Author: Philippe Bouissou, Ph.D.
Publisher: Onward Business Press
It's eight o'clock Monday morning. What do you do to outpace the market and grow faster than your competitors? Aligning the Dots provides a clear answer to that deceptively simple question. Although many how-to-grow business books have been published, none offer a pragmatic and reliable blueprint for top-line growth that is built on deep data analysis and a universal framework that leads to revealing insights. Without a clear roadmap to growth, a CEO's demands for innovative product development, better marketing, and increased customer acquisition and conversion often fail to produce desired outcomes. An effective leader understands that without clear direction and guidance, teams will revert to business as usual and no amount of inspirational taglines will help the business grow faster.
Aligning the Dots introduces a new paradigm. It's a universal, data-driven, and prescriptive methodology, called A4 Precision Alignment™, designed to accelerate any business. Based on the profound insight that the maximum top-line growth rate can only be achieved when a business and its target market are perfectly aligned, this methodology reveals how quantitative measurements of alignment form the base for the development a Growth Playbook. That blueprint will guide any business to align the dots to outperform its target market and fly past its competitors.
Aligning the Dots offers a new systematic methodology for optimizing resource allocation towards long- term profitable growth. Philippe Bouissou’s engaging style uses a combination of personal anecdotes, scientific analogies, and relevant case studies to convey his message of alignment. While the target audience cuts across the broad business community, I find the methodology to be most directly relevant to young technology startups who have a very low margin for error in their business model.
—Eric Benhamou Founder and General Partner, Benhamou Global Ventures and Former Chairman and CEO of 3Com
Every executive intuitively knows the importance of aligning what a company sells with what its customers want, but few executives actually know how to do it right. In his smart, new book—Aligning the Dots— business growth expert Philippe Bouissou presents a simple, but powerful framework for building alignment along four critical business axes. No matter what size your business or what industry you’re in, Aligning the Dots is the playbook you need to spark revenue growth right now — and well into the future. —Peter Economy The Leadership Guy, Inc. Magazine
Aligning the Dots offers a precise, logical way to understand how the fundamental drivers of business work, and how to align your company with them for long-term success. It’s the rare book that combines a comprehensive science of how business works with dozens of practical tips that any leader can apply. —Chris Yeh Co-author with Reid Hoffman of Blitzscaling
I’ve seen so many businesses struggle as the vision and expectations of entrepreneurs and company operators are out of sync with the customer or the marketplace. Aligning the Dots provides an articulate, pragmatic,
and innovative framework for solving these misalignments. It is a resource that can and should be referenced repeatedly to help pressure test strategy and plans for the competitive edge that derives from precision alignment. —Lori Bush Former President and CEO, Rodan + Fields
Genius often creates out-of-the-box thinking. Aligning the Dots makes you think differently and that makes it powerful. Any business should understand and use these concepts. —Nolan Bushnell CEO of X2 Games Founder and former CEO of Atari and Chuck E Cheese!

The Pit of Success: How Leaders Adapt, Succeed, and Repeat
by Dave Jennings
When people understand The Pit of Success their burdens are lifted and their ability to learn and succeed is increased.
Leaders must routinely face challenges that are beyond their experience. In this space, they feel lost, confused, and overwhelmed. These doubts are shared by leaders across the globe but it is not “leader-like” to discuss such issues. Yet, leaders are not in their job because they have all the answers. They are on the job to find answers. By learning to navigate The Pit of Success leaders gain confidence, find answers, and deliver results faster and with less anxiety.
The Pit of Success provides leaders with the mindset and skillset to do things they do not know how to do. It gives them principles for managing progressively difficult challenges throughout their career. It also gives them peace of mind that they are not the only ones experiencing these doubts. No longer do leaders need to wonder if they are good enough to face the challenges in front of them. What they need to do is learnable and The Pit of Success shows them how they are fully capable to succeed in their demanding situation. The concept of The Pit of Success has already changed people’s lives around the globe.
