CHEYENNE BENNETT, PhD, CHPC
Hi, I am a Senior Family Business Advisor here at Compass Point and my areas of expertise are Leadership & Talent Development. My leadership training and research focuses on self-awareness, communication and healthy conflict to help cultivate high-performance teams for family business owners and their leaders.
I began my career in Social Work working with mental health and senior citizen communities. Always having an interest in self-awareness and leadership, my focus on helping others shifted to helping business leaders and guided me to earning a PhD in Organizational Leadership from Eastern University. During my dissertation research, I interviewed over 200 small businesses in the Lehigh Valley on the topic of employee engagement.
To help my clients explore and expand their personal development, I maintain certification as a High Performance Coach (CHPC), a DiSC and Myers-Briggs Facilitator and have experience with Gallup StrengthsFinder. In addition to my Ph.D., I earned a B.S. and M.S. in Social Work.
When I am not at work, I enjoy spending quality time with family and friends, playing tennis and running. I also enjoy giving back to the community, including:
- Vice President of Leadership Team, Exit Planning Institute (EPI) - Philadelphia Chapter
- Active member of the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce
- Contributing writer for the Lehigh Valley Business Journal
- Former Girls on the Run Coach
- Former secretary for the church council and co-facilitator for the youth group at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Bethlehem
