“I don’t know that I have felt more “understood” than when I talked with Terri. She heard me clearly, pushed me to dig deeper, challenged me when I needed to be challenged, and simply was fully present to me when I needed care and compassion. It was the ideal mixture of introspective work, considering my motivations and hesitations, and the accountability that I needed to make decisions and take concrete action.”
“I’m into my third year of having Terri as my coach. She has journeyed with me through my first few years of full-time church ministry, the birth of my two children, and all the transitions and newness that goes along with such major life events! Our monthly conversations are always encouraging and challenging as she pushes me to be the best minister to my church and mother and wife to my family. I thank God for her friendship and guidance.” - Olivia Dawson
