What to expect when working with Terry:

  • Good questions—challenging, productive lines of inquiry that get you to go deeper

  • Empathy

  • Valuable Connections – to people who can help, resources you’ve never heard of, and between ideas you didn’t think were related

Terry’s best clients are:

  • Willing to look inside themselves, make assessments and change their level of awareness

  • Have experienced enough "pain" in leadership to know they can't do it all themselves

  • Ready to take the next step, even if they have told themselves they are not ready yet

With over three decades of experience spanning both nonprofit and for-profit sectors, Terry has walked the path that many leaders find themselves on—sometimes thriving, sometimes navigating through near burnout, and always learning along the way.

Terry believes that mindful leadership is our most valuable resource. Too many community and organizational leaders face their challenges in isolation. Terry’s mission is to ensure you never have to face those challenges alone.

Terry has had the privilege of working with nonprofit executive directors, CEOs, board members, and business owners across organizations including CTAC,  New Sun Rising, Bayer Center, Omicelo Cares, the Mansmann Foundation, Entrepreneurs Forever, and the Pittsburgh Public Market. He has served in advisory roles for the City of Pittsburgh's Innovation and Performance Committee and the Advisory Board on Entrepreneurship and Start-Ups.

Terry has firsthand experience with both healthy and unhealthy organizational cultures. He has been inside toxic environments, sometimes able to influence positive change, other times learning when to step away. This journey through burnout and back has given him insight into the red flags that require intervention and the practices that foster sustainable leadership.

Using his background as a facilitator, small business expert, and community development specialist, Terry helps leaders create systems that allow both themselves and their organizations to thrive. He supports the human side of leadership—because when leaders are well-supported, our communities flourish.
