Career Coaching Testimonials

"I would recommend Terri as a career coach for numerous reasons. First Terri is a person of high integrity in both her personal and professional life. She is uncompromising when it comes to the truth. Terri is no way going to back down from tough questions that may dig deeper about your hopes and dreams than a person as ever journeyed. Terri is extremely organized and wastes no time to tailor-fit her sessions and homework to your own needs. Beyond insightful, Terri draws out information and answers you may never have verbalized to anyone and provides focused encouragement to begin the next phase of your life. My life has changed for the better; in the way I think and view my own perspectives and future. Some people in life help people, Terri shares her own gifts and talents and I will benefit from my career coaching for the rest of my life. If you think you cannot afford career coaching, the truth is with Terri, you cannot afford not seeking her guidance." ~Mark W., Michigan

"Terri gave me confidence to pursue a job with the knowledge I learned about myself. It was nice to have a sounding board from someone trained in the career field. It really helped to have information to know how to present myself in a professional way in order to offer value to a company I aspired to work for.

She kept us on task. I received emailed documents in a timely fashion, met in her quiet office and I went away with confidence." ~Carolyn S., Michigan

"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." ~Julie S., Certified Purpose Life Coach, signed up for Career Branding, Michigan


"I started out not knowing which career direction to take. Now I know for sure the career I want to get into. All of the pieces of the process were helpful for me, especially the informational interviews."  
~Nick A., Michigan

“Terri, you have helped me to obtain a better understanding of myself, my personality type and temperament. Helped me to see what I have to offer, and that what I have to offer is unique and valuable. You encouraged me to seek out information, and to create options. You have carefully and consistently avoided taking control of the outcome, and given generous praise in the process to help me overcome all the self-doubt. I am no longer ‘stuck’. I am free of feeling overly responsible. I am able to picture myself working outside of my usual professional and my present employment. I am free to stay or go, but meanwhile I can take action on having more fun. And giving myself the all important mental stimulation, variety and learning that is more important to me. Awesome! As you would say.” ~Shelly S., Michigan

"Terri really gave me the tools to use and confidence to see other employment that fits my personality. The assessments really helped to narrow down the best jobs that fit who I am. She is easy to talk with and gave me lots of encouragement...she did a great job. I would have never thought about interviewing a business or job shadowing and that really helped to narrow down who and where I would want to work. She called when I needed to talk and really kept in touch via email." ~Sandy P., Michigan

"This was like taking a grad-level college course and equally well worth the cost. We went from A-Z in exploring what career interests I have, what my skills are, my strengths, developed my success stories, my "elevator speech", the a lot of work on networking "how-to's". Terri was always great to work with, very efficient, kept me on task." ~Jim H., Michigan


"Completing the Reconnaissance form was helpful because it made me really look at what I want to do with my life-putting it on paper again, reaffirming my commitment...Thank you for putting the fire under me..."  ~Makini
S., California

 

"You are so down-to-earth and kind. The process with you is exhilarating and expanding. You are a good coach. I'm so glad I signed on...You are really the best coach I've come across." ~Carol S., Florida

"Terri was a joy to work with as a career coach. She consistantly gave new ideas and challenges to provide focus and discover all career choices. Terri shows genuine interest in her clients and her passion was inspirational during coaching sessions." ~Gerald S., Michigan

 

"I was clueless. Totally in the dark before our first session. Walked away with so much information. Know exactly what I want to do after 2-3 times talking to you. I know my strong and weak points, what kind of a job not to go to and why I don't want to do what I do now. You sent lots of very helpful information.  Now I'm aware of where to go and look and am so confident now." ~Elahe A., California


"Terri was always willing to listen to what I felt that I needed from her and address those issues. Her feedback was couched in positive terms, but was designed to help me see ways to change. I value the help she gave." ~Ellie E., Maryland

"Your coaching really encouraged me to try to find out who I am and the skills and gifts I have to offer. With your help, I now feel like I am equipped with the knowledge and tools I need. I also now feel like I am ready and capable of making decisions that will help move me through the coming phases of my life....I would definitely recommend your coaching to anyone because of the way you encouraged me to take the responsibility I needed to, you challenged me to answer my own questions, and you helped give me all the tools I need to continue on my journey...Thank you again so much. I'm excited to see what God holds in my future." ~Theresa
W., Michigan

“From the moment I first spoke with Terri, I knew that she would be a valuable member of my career campaign team. Terri made me feel so comfortable in just a few moments that I felt as if I had known her for years. Terri listened to all of my needs, concerns and worries regarding my career evaluation process. Terri’s tips, exercises and feedback were invaluable and will continue to be so as I move forward. I would strongly recommend working with Terri.” ~Jennifer S., New Jersey

“Once again, I left our session feeling uplifted, validated, and on a mission! I would definitely recommend you as a Career Coach to anyone else, regardless of my exact end result, just because the entire process is so educational and helpful.” ~Rochelle S., Michigan

Catherine O., a client, wrote of her career coaching experience:

“It’s been great working with you. The biggest benefits are the tools you’ve given me to complete the process of career planning.” ~Bob R., Alaska

"Terri is a very focused career coach that doesn't just 'tell' you what to do, but more so, brings up great thought-provoking questions. She takes a true interest in her clients' success." ~Meslisa J., Colorado

"I would recommend your services as a career coach because you care about your clients.  You do not treat the person as just another number to add to the bottom line for your business.  You strive to help the client discover his/her hidden talents and passions so that she/he will enjoy the path that is choosen.  You are always there to support the person and to give a little push or incentive to keep her/him moving in the proper direction.  I wish I would have taken this path at least 4 years ago!" ~Sue D., Michigan

"My interview coaching session with Terri gave me the confidence I needed to be fully prepared for my interview. She helped me generate ideas and an approach that I felt comfortable with. I would recommend this to all who are preparing for a job interview." ~ Jeff S., Michigan

“As a Career Coach, Terri has the ability to hone in on the strengths you have that are interwoven in your personality. Terri then assists you in sorting them out to help you realize how your unique attributes can coordinate beautifully in realizing your true potential while staying true to your core values." ~Tamara, Michigan

"Terri gave me a wealth of resources for analyzing what motivates me and interests me in the world of work, and in life in general. The self-assessments were extremely helpful in learning more about what makes me tick and having a neutral party look through the results with me was valuable.

Terri also helped me identify the things I really wanted and needed from my career and encouraged me to take steps to pursue them or at least learn more about them, something I probably would not have done on my own. Terri was great at taking ideas and turning them into actions and goals. She helped me identify what I could DO to get closer to my goal today, tomorrow, or next week.

Although most of our work was in the area of career exploration and not job search and interviewing, we did spend one session on interviewing and it was extremely valuable to actually be coached through the questions and work out real answers to difficult questions. I would recommend this to anyone preparing to find a new job."  ~Stephanie B., Michigan
