Some leaders build companies. Others build legacies.

In this episode of Wisdom from the Helm, Danielle Wilkie and Heather Frick welcome Sherry Chris, one of real estate’s most beloved and respected leaders. From creating her own Pantone Pink to becoming the fearless founder of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, Sherry’s career is a masterclass in reinvention.

She opens up about the risks she’s taken, the fears she’s faced, and the mentors who shaped her journey. Today, Sherry is embracing a new season - advising, mentoring, traveling, and focusing on wellness - while continuing to inspire women in real estate to lead with courage, creativity, and heart.

If you’ve ever wondered how to balance achievement with authenticity, this episode will show you what it means to live lighter and lead boldly.

Key Takeaways:

• Why personal brand is about authenticity (and how Pantone Pink became Sherry’s).
• Lessons learned from launching a brand right before the Great Recession.
• Turning fear into fuel for growth.
• Why mentorship and coaching are essential at every stage of leadership.
• The beauty of embracing wellness, balance, and legacy in later seasons of life.

The Helm was created to help more seasoned women in real estate confidently launch and scale their coaching businesses. Co-founders Danielle Wilkie and Heather Frick recognized a powerful gap: women with decades of real estate experience were ready to lead, coach, and make a difference but lacked a roadmap to get there. Today, we help women transform their expertise into profitable, purpose-driven coaching practices.
