“Teresa helped me realize what kind of leader I wanted to be, what I’m capable of and most importantly, what I value most when it comes to the world of work. I am a more confident and resilient individual because of her. I even attribute getting my new role as Head of People because of the work we’ve been doing together. She’s an empathetic and compassionate coach who is not afraid to challenge you in order to become the best version of yourself. I highly recommend anyone looking for an executive coach to work with Teresa.”
— Michelle H., Head of People, Byte
“I worked with Teresa through a professional coaching program designed to help me get unstuck, and I cannot overhype how helpful and thoughtful she was throughout the entire process. The genuine compassion and ability to get me to a better place personally and professionally was nothing short of amazing, exceeding any expectations I had for her or the program. The entire experience was truly a game changer and has made an immediate and positive impact in my personal and professional life that I will be forever grateful for.”
— Andrew A., Business Communication Advisor, Cigna
“Teresa is going to see things in you that you may not see yourself, and then have you explore that in a meaningful way. Chances are, you are a leader because you already have what you need; Teresa will help you see that and build confidence along with an action plan based on your circumstances.”
— Jason S., Utility Industry Professional
““I’ve worked with a LOT of coaches, and Teresa is top tier. She’s an extraordinary listener. The way she confirms the intent of what was said is fantastic. Her questioning style is superb, which led me to thinking in much deeper and thoughtful ways—and resulted in my ability to tackle the subconscious topics that were holding me back.””
— Barbara M., Gallup Strengths Coach
““I feel so grateful to have gotten to work with Teresa! Through her empathy, curiosity, and support, I learned a tremendous amount about myself, all that I am capable and deserving of, bold and creative approaches and viewpoints to get me there, and more. I am coming out of this with so much more confidence, perspective, and value, and ready to show the world!” ”
— Maddie M., Marketing Communications Manager, TrueNorth
“Teresa worked with me to customize a Manager Development program we were building in my last role. I was struck by Teresa’s curiosity, client-centricity, and ability to pivot quickly and thoughtfully through all the changes we had to make as part of the program. I found Teresa responsive, knowledgeable, and very focused on making me successful as her client. I am always impressed when a consultant has a solid theoretical understanding but, as well, is able to bring this to life within the context of real business, people, and organizational issues; she did that. And - she asks really good questions!”
— Michael A., Head, Global People Manager Development, Ripple
