Hi, I'm Cherese Walker, M.A.Ed., Rooted Execution Strategist and founder of Rooted Rising Solutions, LLC.
I'm a Certified Educational Diagnostician, District Dyslexia Coordinator, and Certified Life Coach with advanced certification in Mental Health Life Coaching. But honestly? My credentials are not what drive me.
What drives me is the 20+ years I spent watching brilliant people get lost in systems that were supposed to help them. Students who weren't getting the right support. Parents who felt invisible in the rooms where decisions about their children were being made. Educators are drowning in compliance and paperwork with no one in their corner. Every single time, I thought the same thing: this doesn't have to be this hard. So I stopped just working inside the system and built something to fix it.
"Change with a smile."
Rooted Rising Solutions is where educational expertise meets real human coaching.
Yes, I help schools, districts, and families navigate evaluations, dyslexia programs, and compliance. But I also work with individuals who know they're meant for more and just can't seem to get there, people who are stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for their next step but need someone to help them see clearly and move with intention. My background means I do more than identify the problem. I help you understand what's actually in the way, build a structure that works for your real life, and walk with you until you're moving confidently and with a smile. This is not about motivation alone. This is about clarity, alignment, and execution.
Whether I am working with a school system, a parent, or an individual chasing their next chapter, the goal is always the same: To create structure that works. Decisions that make sense. Actions that actually move you forward. I lead with integrity. I operate with clarity. And I build from the root up, because real growth doesn't happen at the surface. It starts deep, where the foundation is strong. That's the Rooted Rising way.
Education should be clear, structured, and supportive of student success.
Parents deserve clarity, not confusion.
Educators deserve support that reduces overwhelm and strengthens their work.
Students deserve services that are accurate, aligned, and meaningful.
Individuals deserve guidance that helps them gain clarity, move forward, and execute with confidence.
Our work is grounded in the I ❤️ HEART™ Framework, a structured framework that supports clarity, organization, and aligned decision-making across evaluation, dyslexia systems, and compliance.
H — Honesty
Clear, accurate understanding of student needs, data, and evaluation results.
E — Evaluation
Thorough, compliant evaluation practices that guide appropriate services and decisions.
A — Alignment
Ensuring services, documentation, and goals are aligned with student needs and requirements.
R — Results
Focused on outcomes that are measurable, meaningful, and sustainable for students and systems.
T — Time & Organization
Structured processes that improve workflow, reduce overwhelm, and support efficiency for professionals.
Inside every Coffee & Clarity experience, including Part 1 and the Coffee & Clarity Execution Lab (Part 2), you are guided through a structured process designed to move you from overthinking to execution.
This is not just a conversation. This is a shift.
At the center of the experience is our Three Question Framework, a focused approach that helps you identify what has been holding you back, what needs to change, and what you are ready to act on next.
We move through this process with intention, honesty, and clarity so you can walk away with direction and the confidence to act.
This workshop is available by request.
