The Process WORKS and is LIFE CHANGING

“Teresa is a thoughtful and very attentive personal coach who follows the ‘Six Advisors’ methodology. I found her to be insightful, professional and committed to my own personal growth, and a great listener and partner in professional conversation. I’m happy to recommend her to others seeking help with career reflection and development.” Brook Manville, Pass, Executive Vice President  & Director, Center for Community Leadership, United Way of America” July 29, 2008

 

“Teresa has made significant contributions towards increasing performance and positive behavioral attitudes of individuals on my staff including myself. The system that she uses along with her intuitive insights have enabled me to better understand my personal/professional motivations, thought processes and communication style in order to better motivate and align my team in achieving our objectives. I highly recommend Teresa to any individual or organization seeking professional career coaching services. You will not be disappointed in the results“. Bob Gallo, State Director AARP Chicago, Illinois, June 11, 2008

“I’ve worked with Teresa as a fundraiser and as a coach. Her insights and support helped me grow professionally and develop some much needed patience personally.”, Ellen Sherberg, Publisher, St. Louis Business Journal and United Way Volunteer, November 17, 2008

 

“SUCCESS IS A CONSCIOUS CHOICE”

What makes 6 AdvisorsTM unique in the training and coaching industry is a combination of elements including a scientific, internationally-validated assessment that accurately measures a person’s thought processes and identifies the thought processes that support and sabotage productivity and effectiveness in any area of work and life.  No other assessment instrument gets to the level of depth and practicality of 6 AdvisorsTM.

The individual assessment results can be combined to provide insights as to the overall strengths and challenges of a team/department. These objective insights become a powerful management tool to develop very specific strategies for enhancing overall success.

Masterful coaching provides laser focus on key issues, ongoing client empowerment, and practical application of all the principles in the life/work of the participant. 

6 AdvisorsTM coaching builds independent capacity ensuring that results are predictable, measurable, and sustainable.

The work we do in 6 AdvisorsTM delves below the surface of behaviors, attitudes, emotions and beliefs, and works directly with the underlying thought processes in a powerful, objective and transformational way. Unlike training and development programs that focus on behavior modification, the results we produce are permanent, empowering, and broad-reaching.
