Is Coaching Right for You?

Executive Coaching

Our clients are interesting, intelligent and discerning executives and emerging leaders in progressive organizations who are ready to make a commitment to stretch and change. They want more. For these leaders, work has always been more than a job: It’s a vehicle for success and significance. Executive coaching is a natural support that enables them to contribute more dynamically, authentically and effectively.

Leadership Moves

In my view the most important work for any leader is to become a whole person. Can you find your true place in the order of things, and occupy it with your whole self: mind, heart and body? Do you know where you belong and how to bring all of yourself, without the need to diminish self or other, to your work? It's an inside job, but worth everything you think might be at risk. You can begin now, by taking a look in the mirror, and by asking those around you to help you see yourself more clearly.

Testimonials

It was a revelation for me to learn where my passion and commitments intersect, and how knowing this is what moved me through my transition at work, which aligns my higher values with my professional skills and interests.

Mary MacInerney, Regional Director Save The Children International

Terry has continually and consistently opened me up to so much clarity about my challenges. She offers a still, open presence that enables me to discover my truth with her gentle, but right-on-the-mark guidance.

Ann Herington, VP Freddie Mac

Coaching seemed more about “what to do” than about “why I do”. Two things stand out: You are the most approachable, open-minded, non-judgmental person I think I have ever met. Because you are that way, I feel the freedom to tell you everything on my mind. You get me thinking about my goals and your material was right on target.

Terry brings a significant and quiet power to the conversations that has a remarkable impact in the moment and over time. Her personality is warm and … Her expertise in many disciplines informs her perceptions.

Alisa Deitz, President EFFECT - Coaching and Consulting

Terry has a caring compassion that allows her to totally focus on her client and her clients’ needs. Her insights and ability to ask powerful questions and use metaphors are right on target.

LB, MCC International coaching consultancy

Working with Terry was like working with a good closer. Sometimes I’d be tempted to cancel a coaching session because I hadn’t prepared. But there she would be… holding me in my commitment. She was persistent, but never pushy. I’m learning to be this way for myself.

The year I worked with Terry was the year I really grew up. I wasn’t getting the results I wanted at work … in terms of respect, rewards and responsibility. I’m a better listener, a more skillful collaborator, a more reflective leader. As a result, I’ve taken on a bigger, more visible role in a more progressive company. I know who I am again.”

I feel that we have come extremely far in this engagement and I can definitely see how it’s benefitting me, not just as a leader but also as a human being. I reached a whole new level in my journey and personal development. Thanks for helping me get there!

Marketing Director Global pharmaceutical company

We asked Terry to audit a program we wanted to present to investors. During our first dry run we ran way over, discovered lots of redundancies and no really compelling story. Within a half day, we had completely revamped the presentation. The final version was more dynamic and more fun. Terry’s ability to hone in on the natural strengths of each speaker was remarkable. She really brought out the potential in each of us.
