About Sherry Rivard— Founder of Decision Tides
I work with people—individually, in groups, and in teams—when decisions matter professionally, personally, and during periods of change where the consequences are real. My focus is helping people think clearly, strengthen judgment, and move forward with confidence when uncertainty, pressure, and competing priorities are present.
With more than 25 years of global experience, I’ve led teams, supported individuals, and guided people through career transitions, leadership challenges, and major life changes—while carrying responsibility for people, outcomes, and financial decisions. I understand the weight that comes with uncertainty, reinvention, and responsibility—not just in theory, but in lived experience. My background includes an MS in Leadership Strategy, Stanford CIJ Clarity Catalyst certification, and wellness training, allowing me to work across decision-making, leadership effectiveness, health, relationships, and life structure as an integrated whole.
Clients describe my style as grounded, empathetic, and direct—balanced with perspective and humor. I listen to understand, ask questions that matter, and help people see options clearly so they can take meaningful, well-considered action.
Change is unavoidable. How we respond to it determines what comes next. My work is about helping people move forward in ways that hold up over time.
My Values
Integrity
Integrity is the foundation of meaningful success. It means choosing what is right, not what is easy, and taking responsibility for decisions and outcomes. In my work as a personal growth strategist, honesty, accountability, and alignment between values and actions are non-negotiable—because trust, credibility, and sustainable progress are built over time.
Faith
Faith grounds resilience and perspective. I believe every person is uniquely created with gifts, strengths, and the capacity to grow—even in seasons of uncertainty, transition, or rebuilding. In my work, this belief shows up as deep respect for the individual and confidence in their ability to move forward with purpose, courage, and direction.
Family
Relationships are at the heart of what matters. Whether family means loved ones at home, professional communities, or the people we lead and support, connection shapes wellbeing and effectiveness. My work supports clients in pursuing growth, leadership, and change without losing sight of the relationships that anchor their lives.
These values shape how I show up, how I listen, and how I support people through decisions that matter.
