PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND I have over thirty years experience within  a corporate environment as a senior leader  and as a mentor and coach. I have run sales teams as a sales director within the IT sector as both a direct re-seller and as a VAR. I have led teams and organisations with an emphasis on servant leadership. I have built and sold my own business and have been privileged to have led and grown teams on behalf of other stakeholders.   Since 2010, I have used my vast leadership experience to support organisations, and people within those organisations to aspire to be performing at their optimum. I have supported leaders to become truly fabulous leaders, leaders that are able to thrive in the 21st century where agility, creativity, mindfulness and the ability to serve their teams, their peers and the wider stakeholders is the norm. I coach clients that are: new to management those that are making the journey from first line managers into middle management those who are rising from mid management and into VP roles VP’s who are looking to become senior leaders and finally those that are practicing senior leaders but who aspire to be truly great leaders. Areas I partner my clients with might include: Delegation Strategic planning Communication skills Managing difficult conversations  Creating the environment for effective feedback Transition from individual contributor to team leader. I support mid managers where we often work on transitioning from operational functions and as individual contributors, transforming them into people managers where personal, team and organisational interaction and presence is required. Servant leadership, where a shift from authoritarian styles of direction might be more favourable. Supporting leaders to manage effectively when leading cross functional teams and where the leader is required to lead teams where they have no direct authority. We often work on advanced communication abilities and executive presence when a mid-level manager wishes to break into a VP role, looking at both areas to develop and traits to let go of. And senior leaders who often work on changing old habits and techniques that no longer serve them so well and where they now aspire to become a leader with political, economic, social, technical, and environmental influence. Directing change for longer term success. COACHING PHILOSOPHY My approach to development is simple, I believe everyone has the capability to succeed, however it is sometimes the interference that prohibits our success. Quoting Tim Gallwey, author of the Inner Games series, "Performance = potential - interference". By working together, I can support you to reach your full potential by removing the interference that is stopping you reach your full potential. 

Teri launched her own consulting practice in 1999 and now works with organizations to provide systemic team coaching and facilitation in the areas of strengths-based performance and leadership development.Teri is an expert in training and coaching using the StrengthFinder assessment and works with organizations to create a strengths-based approach to performance., leadership and team development. By revealing the ways in which each person most naturally thinks, feels, and behaves, leaders and their team members discover and build upon the areas in which they have the most potential to develop and succeed. Additionally, they learn to collaborate better, covering any potential weak areas by supporting each other. Every team is a system nested within other systems and can benefit from an outside perspective not colored by that system. Teri has a strong sense of purpose around reflecting both brilliance and blindspots back to the teams she works with, helping them own their contributions and continue improvement and growth. Her early career included a vice president role in commercial real estate, administrator as a civilian in the US Air Force, and adjunct professor in design.

Part sounding board. Part advisory board. Part Oujia board. Ever have a conversation with a friend, family member or co-worker that was completely free from judgment or bias? Me neither. But I have with a coach. Because that’s the job we’re trained for. Coaching has changed my life. I’m here today, doing what I love, because I worked with coaches who gave me the space to figure out what was true for me. I left a perfectly good full-time gig after 26 years in the advertising industry to pursue coaching full time. I get to bring all of that experience and the values those experiences forged with me to every client relationship. Problem solving, relentless curiosity, empathy and optimism. I started a podcast called DesuckifyWork™ that gives me the chance to speak with brilliant people every week who have exponentially broadened what I thought could be possible in the world of work. And I get to wake up each day, feeling grateful that I do all of this on my terms. If you’d like to have the same kind of experience, let’s talk.
