Working with people, energising them to action and creating opportunities for conversations at all levels; this is what Terri does at work – and it’s what gives her energy, too. Terri radiates warmth and energy, and works with her head, her heart and her gut feelings. She has an Irish background which may account for her warmth, the sparkle in her eyes and her sense of fun.
The reason I chose Terri for our leadership group project is because unlike many consultancies that want to drive you from A to B, Terri's approach is flexible enough to allow the group to go where it needs to go, with the assurance you will end up where you need to be! Facilitation becomes a combination of structured process, participant checking and intuition - which is an intimate and powerful combination of both thinking and feeling. I have no hesitation in recommending her.
Terri's contributions led to substantially improved team performance and our most successful sales conferences to date. Terri was flexible, professional and completely focused on our objectives and requirements. By creating the right atmosphere and providing the right content, she gained the respect and trust of the entire Nortel team.
