Sherry James, PMP is a keynote speaker, author, mentor, and mother based in the DFW area. Ms. James has worked with multiple Fortune 500 companies over the years through her work as a project manager, consultant, and speaker. Sherry is dedicated to having the tough conversation about mental illness and suicide prevention as well as ending the stigma of mental health in the workplace. Currently, she is working on her latest initiative, 2020 Lives Changed, which focuses on changing 2,020 lives in the year of 2020.

One of the primary tools we have to combat the stigma of mental illness/health is to have transparent and authentic conversations with people from all walks of life. The more we see others openly talking about the full spectrum of mental health, the greater the stride we will make in completely removing any inhibitions our society has surrounding mental health.

Of particular interest to the goals of 2020 Lives revolves around professionals who face challenges daily and forge ahead in spite of the assaults on their mental health. Our society has etched a vision in our minds of people who can overcome anything in spite of adversity. The reality is our psyche absorbs the hits in small increments similar to that of a football player. It is not until the hits evolve after constant pounding that we realize how much damage they have done,

We challenge audiences to embrace their journey as a successful person and everything it entails, including mental health challenges along the way. Through our presentations, we normalize the challenges, thereby, creating a safe space for people to acknowledge how much better of a life they could have by addressing this component who they are as a person.

Our experts are available for mass audience presentations, workshops, symposiums and crisis management events.

I am a student at Amberton University and was excited to hear Dr. Alexander speak. I took notes during her talk. It was informative. Her career lets me know I too can make a difference with mental health care.

The presentation was wonderful. I am a graduate intern at a diverse community college. Much of what you discussed impacts the students I work with. This information will help me better my skills to work with them.

I heard Dr. Alexander for the first time and I tell you she has spoken to me and helped me, spiritually and mentally. I have realized that I do need mental health care and it is okay to receive it.
