Beatriz, Executive Director, Berkeley, CA
Terry has done wonders for my career and my person. She has helped me to see my journey, build on my strengths and to reach for higher heights, personally and professionally. It was always inside me to be great Executive Director of a non profit and now a newly elected School Board Director in my city. Terry took me from the cross roads of uncertainty to a determined path, my own self-determined path to improvement. I was ready to learn, open to listening and ready to put the parts of me that were not making sense into the puzzle that makes me who I am and who I was always meant to be. I could not have made this journey without Terry, or perhaps I could have...on my last breath of life! I am proud of my accomplishments and that my perspective in my life career is to be an advocate in education and a proud and hopeful Latina in the 21st century.
Who would have guessed that in 2008, my name would have been on the same ballot as that of our new President, Barack Obama! It was huge to run, to win big and be the top vote getter. I did this because Terry made sure I was ready for the call and to step up. We started early and every day when I talked to her I felt myself getting closer to not only the possibility, but truly believing and knowing that I would win and would win big, and I did.
Terry has an edge that may tell you to run the opposite way - honestly, this edge brought me to a realization that the things I didn't want to hear, know or be challenged by - were the same things I was running from and keeping me down. Terry's edge made me stronger, more confident and positive. We are different in culture, language and upbringing and I thought I would have to explain myself - I learned that I could hold onto my values and passions in advocacy and make them the point from where I grow from - they are not compromised nor do my values hold me back any longer. Terry helped me make this transformation and I am forever grateful to her wisdom, push and the opportunity to work with her-for my benefit. It has been a special journey that I treasure for many years to come. I invite you to invite Terry into your life as your coach...you'll enjoy the ride, I promise.
