Testimonials

Theresa has taught me many things in my career, helping me work through problems to find a solution that felt truly personal.

She was a key person for me to find success at Square - her insights are relevant and actionable. Theresa is somebody who people would repeatedly go to for advice on the most difficult problems and career blocks they were having.

I would highly recommend working with Theresa for anyone who feels like they've hit a roadblock in their career.

— MLC, Engineering Manager

I found Theresa by pure luck on a LinkedIn feed while in a moment of existential crisis. In my case, I felt like I didn't have the courage to explore change/opportunity while in a job I fell out of love with.

Her own background gave me the confidence that she'd be empathetic and skilled to help me navigate my current state. She is an expert listener who quickly organized my initially scattered thoughts into a summary and map to actionable outcomes. Through the process, I was free to define my outcomes and be given a point of view on critical steps in reflection and action.

I've come out of this with more mental clarity on my own skills, self-compassion for my feelings, and a promising interview at a company where I could grow.

— DA, Learning & Development Operations Manager

Theresa unlocked a part of my business and creativity that has been dormant for a long time. Within two calls with Theresa, I feel so much positive momentum, validation, and clarity with my career direction. For some context: I am an entrepreneur with a lot of creative ideas and reflections, but I can get stuck in knowing how to execute, prioritize, and organize. Theresa has a perfect blend of being highly professional, organized, and forward-thinking, while also blending in her grounded intuition, mindfulness, creative thinking, and approachability.  I look forward to continuing to have her on my team!

— LC, Creative Entrepreneur

Theresa is a great listener and does a fantastic job at giving you a space to express yourself. The conversations we had were cathartic and clarifying.

I would recommend Theresa to anyone looking to grow in their career or just to have some support navigating their current role!

— JF, Sr Software Engineer

Coach Theresa was transformational during a time of major change in my life. I was simultaneously going through a career shift and a low point in my life (due to non career factors) and she helped me stay calm, grounded, and clear on my priorities. She provided structure for actionable next steps, and more importantly, a safe space for vulnerability, deep reflection, and compassion for myself. Throughout our time working together, I went from feeling overwhelmed and frantic, to finding peace in the unknown.

For anyone navigating major change or personal transformation, I highly recommend working with Coach Theresa. She will be there to support you, cheer you on, and propel you to your next chapter.

— HB, Channel Partnerships Manager

Theresa certainly has a gift for connecting with people and helping them to realize their goals. I think anybody would be lucky to have Theresa as a coach/mentor.
