Julie Six, Certified Purpose Life Coach, from Traverse City, Michigan, wrote about her session with Terri on Career Branding:

"Terri’s insightful and masterful questions helped me to finally articulate my niche. For months, I had been utterly stuck, but Terri took my frustration and tapped into my passion. She had me look at broad options and then brought my thoughts under the “white light”. This was the place I had been avoiding. It wasn’t comfortable there and I wanted to back out. Her powerful questions and unwavering belief in me held me captive until I experienced a break through! Her commitment to the field of coaching and her clients is evident in the joy she pours forth into both."

How does career coaching work?

Series of 1-hour sessions in person or over the phone with unlimited, short emails between sessions.

A note from Terri:

Thank you for your interest in career coaching services. I've been very effective in helping career explorers and transitioners, but that doesn't mean I'm a universal solution for everyone. What I typically like to do is spend 5-10 minutes over the phone where you and I can share some questions and answers to determine if career coaching is a good fit. I value your time as I am sure you do mine, so I invite you to interupt our conversation at any time if you see we will not be a good fit. To schedule a time to talk, email me.

"I worked with Terri, a Career Coach, during the winter of 2007. She has a superb ability to help you access the career that is best for you both as a money earner and as a human being. She has lovely people skills and is truly dedicated to her profession. I would not hesitate to refer her to anyone, and especially those who value working with someone who is both professional and caring. Most importantly, what she does works, and I emerged from my time with her with a crystal clear vision of my path."
