About Dr. Cheryl Williams-Jackson
Hello, I’m Dr. Cheryl Williams-Jackson—
A current professor, coach, consultant and a past therapist with a deep passion for helping organizations and their teams foster trauma-informed practices, resilience, equity, and wellness. With nearly three decades of experience, I’ve seen firsthand the toll that burnout, compassion fatigue, and inequitable systems can take on helping professionals. My mission is to equip organizations with the tools and strategies they need to create healthier, more supportive environments where both individuals and missions thrive.
My journey began with a love for education and psychology, earning a Master’s in Educational Psychology and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from an APA-accredited institution. Over the years, I’ve blended this expertise with certifications in business and life coaching to create unique, actionable solutions for organizational challenges.
One of my proudest achievements is developing the STRENGTH Framework and ELEVATE Consulting Method—innovative, trauma-informed, equity-centered and resilience-focused approaches that address challenges like workplace stress and burnout, racial toxicity, and disengagement. Through my workshops, consulting programs, and certification training, I’ve had the privilege of guiding countless organizations and helping professionals toward lasting transformation.
When I’m not coaching or consulting, you’ll find me outdoors, pedaling my way through trails, or immersed in a nonfiction book (earning me the nickname ‘The Vault’). These moments of reflection fuel my commitment to creating sustainable, impactful change for the clients I serve.
Let’s work together to build resilient teams and equitable environments—because thImageriving is not just a goal; it’s a possibility.

5 Techniques To Handle Life’s Challenges
Solve Problems Effectively by Developing Emotional Resilience
Developing emotional resilience helps you learn how to adapt to difficult circumstances, pick yourself up after experiencing failure, and manage negative feelings effectively. While tough situations and setbacks are inevitable, you can discover tools on how to cope, find strategies to avoid repeating mistakes, and move on from issues you’ve experienced in the past. Learn specific techniques to build emotional resilience on your journey.
Create the Right Mindset for Developing Mental Strength
Creating the right mindset is important for building emotional resilience to control how you respond to negative thoughts and feelings. It takes practice and discipline, but ultimately, it will be worth it when you realize that you’re capable of not letting hard situations affect you.
Instead of feeling bad about failing a job, use the experience to figure out a better career path for you, or think about how to improve at a related skill you had trouble with in the past. Using a journal is a great technique for identifying your feelings about situations you’re in or issues you have on your journey and figuring out how to handle them moving forward by writing them down.
Use Self-Reflection to Improve Mental Health
Although self-reflection is a great way to build emotional resilience, making connections with other people is another effective strategy for accomplishing this mental health goal. Spending time with family, friends, or getting involved in community events helps you develop confidence and a sense of belonging, which makes it easier to gain inner strength.
As Simone Biles, the top gymnast in the world, has said, “I wanted to quit 500,000 times. And I would have done it if it weren’t for my community.” Having the support from others inspires people to pursue goals regardless of challenges or setbacks because it’s easier to accomplish anything you dream of, knowing that everyone will cheer you on.
Treat Yourself Kindly to Develop Emotional Strength
While developing emotional strength, it is important to treat yourself with compassion to avoid becoming overly disappointed by your mistakes while working on personal growth. It’s an excellent technique for coping with anything that goes wrong on your journey because it teaches you how to be gentle.
Even if you mess up, you’ll know that you love yourself anyway. Individuals who practice self-compassion tend to be less critical of themselves because it becomes easier to not get discouraged about failed relationships, receiving a poor grade on a test, or not performing well in a sport.
Speak kind words to yourself and listen to your thoughts without judgment in order to become emotionally resilient. It’s how you build inner strength; by learning how to be your own best friend.
Engage In Healthy Habits to Improve Mental Health
Another effective technique for practicing emotional resilience is to create different habits to help you grow as a person. Although it may take some adaptation, it’s healthy to become more open to change. Improving your diet, sleeping habits, and exercise routine helps prepare you for all of the challenges you’ll face by becoming well-balanced.
Instead of getting caught up in the discouragement of how much work it will take, focus on the benefits changing your way of living can bring, such as having more energy and improving your state of mind.
Focus on your Health to Develop Emotional Resilience
While focusing on health is a great way to build emotional resilience, another effective strategy is choosing to change what you can control. In life, you’re not always going to get what you want, you don’t get to choose what your struggles are, and there are definitely going to be situations you wish you could change.
It’s only natural to want every situation you’re in to be ideal, but it’s not realistic, so focusing on making good choices instead of worrying about outcomes builds emotional resilience. Even if you don't achieve the goal you had in mind, or if a situation doesn’t go your way, it will give you a peace of mind to know you did everything you could, making you feel more in control than ever.
Become Stronger by Developing Emotional Resilience
Once you choose to make meaningful changes in your life, it is important to develop emotional resilience to remain positive adversity because inner strength isn’t developed from ignoring problems. Instead, you can become emotionally adaptable by creating solutions to issues you face with bravery. Let yourself become free from criticism or the fear of making mistakes and use emotional resilience as fuel to chase your dreams while building a battery quality of life.
