Hi, i’m terence
I’m here to help
Catalyst | Co-creator | Coach
I've walked many paths: nonprofit CEO, brand strategist, creative director, fashion editor. Now I help leaders and organizations find balanced momentum.
I nudge curiosity toward possibility, so that we may all experience collective liberation, freedom, and joy.
Through rigorous inquiry grounded in inclusive values, I help you or your team strengthen leadership, sharpen your story, and engage your communities
I'm a catalyst, a co-creator, a coach, a consultant, a curator, a consigliere (for the good fight), a cheerleader, and a confidant.
My way has been that of the embodied edgedweller: pushing limits physically, aesthetically, and conceptually, then sharing what I discover to open doors for others.
I'm confident, queer, and gentle. I've spent years searching for flickers of light in ambiguity, so I'm comfortable holding space while you or your organization clears blockages, finds alternate routes, and ventures forth.
I'm grounded, calm, and patient, and I ask probing questions that help indiviuals and teams grow, reach their potential, and claim what sets them apart.
I thrive when helping people tap deep reservoirs of expression as tools for connection and understanding.
Are you
feeling stuck in stagnancy?
searching for signal inside the noise?
seeking flow?
asking for alignment?
craving connection and ritual?
nearing empty?
or
reaching for reset?
I’m here to help. Let’s map your way forward.
My approach to coaching came about in a very organic way.
It stems from my teaching “New Ventures” to graduate level arts administration students these last ten years. I added in thinking and resources from the executive education programs I’ve attended at Harvard Business School and Stanford Graduate School for Business, I filtered it through the racial reckoning and decolonizing awarenesses that gained wider attention these last years, and then I included some of the thinkers who’ve most influenced me during my career in the creative industries for the last 35 years.
