“Dr. Hampton-Farmer offered me a balance of both thoughtful criticism and genuine encouragement that helped me to be much more prepared to communicate effectively in the situation for which I sought her help. I especially appreciated her preparation for each of our sessions that made our limited time together even more productive and beneficial.”

“Working with Cheri was truly a pleasure. Her coaching and facilitation style created a relaxed, supportive environment where I felt genuinely heard. This helped me communicate more clearly and confidently—and it also taught me the importance of making others feel heard in every conversation.”
Anita Shepherd,
Director of Operations &
Client Services Freedom Academy
“Dr. Hampton-Farmer’s facilitation style was both empowering and inclusive. From the moment the session began, she created an atmosphere where every participant felt seen, heard, and respected.
Her thoughtful approach encouraged individuals, many of whom had little to no public speaking experience, to engage meaningfully and step outside of their comfort zones. The result was a room filled with energy, trust, and a renewed sense of personal capability.
Participants left the workshop not only with stronger presentation skills but with a clearer sense of purpose, greater self-assurance, and the tools to communicate effectively in leadership and community roles. Her methods built confidence. Participants became more articulate, expressive, and willing to share their stories and ideas—something that’s critical in the work we do to uplift and empower the community. Thanks to Dr. Hampton-Farmer’s leadership, we anticipate lasting, positive changes in how our team members and partners engage with clients and lead initiatives. Her contribution has helped lay a foundation for stronger voices and more effective advocacy throughout our programs."
