I hired Teri to help me prepare for the competition. Teri is known for her TEDx expertise (she literally wrote the book on it: Get Ready for TED When TED Is Ready for You) but what I want to highlight is her incredible gift for storytelling.
Teri has the rare ability to hear what details matter, what needs to be cut, what lines are truly funny, and what actually adds value for the audience. She can find the most important story nuggets hidden inside the bigger story and help you shape them into something powerful.
Her method for memorizing speeches is also one of the most effective systems I have ever used. I learned both my semifinal and final speeches faster and more accurately than anything else I have tried.
Teri is not a flashy or loud coach. She is unassuming, kind, and deeply nurturing. She works behind scenes to bring out the best in the people she works with by helping them show up as the best version of their true selves. Her depth of skill lifts every speaker she touches.
