“I was actually able to apply the materials Terri showed us, and be a better leader and manager thanks to her. The applicability alone sets the training apart.” - Senior Manager, Software Engineering

We’ve already decided to come back next year for a team tune-up.” - Technology Fellow, AI Research

“I've never even heard of the word 'somatic' before I met Terri. After our leadership team session, I hired Terri 1:1 to coach me through some really tough conversations I had been delaying, and I couldn't have felt more supported and ready for them. Highly recommend.” - VP, Strategic Corporate M&A
