From Individual Contributor to Executive: The Psychology of That Transition
The shift from individual contributor to executive is not a promotion. It is an identity revision that most high performers are completely unprepared for.
Optimizing Human Capital
One-on-one executive coaching for Denver's C-suite leaders, founders, and senior managers, from a psychologist with 35 years of clinical practice and 17 years of executive coaching. Sessions are virtual, across Colorado and nationwide.


The people I work with today are high performing people who are creating what is next for them. Whether you are a founder, a seasoned executive, or a person who is searching for what's next, the ultimate goal is joy, success, and a deep sense of purpose.
We become extraordinary by taking baby steps and making non-negotiable commitments to do the things which matter most. We use insight to inform our actions and plans. We become expert at knowing ourselves and transforming the limiting beliefs, and the stories we tell ourselves that get in our way.
Get in TouchDenver has transformed into a major business hub — attracting technology companies, energy enterprises, aerospace firms, and a wave of venture-backed startups. That growth is exciting. It's also relentless.
Leaders here navigate rapid scaling, fierce competition for top talent, and a workforce that expects purpose alongside a paycheck. The pressure to perform is matched only by the expectation to lead with authenticity and vision.

Jesse WillinghamC-suite exec at publicly traded utility company
"After 20 years in full-speed-ahead executive positions at work and now an empty nest at home, I realized I was in a life transition. I wanted to step back and purposefully decide which mountain I wanted to climb next and how I would climb it. As my executive coach, Terri and I worked together to crystallize my 'why' and define what success would look like for me in the next 10 years of my career and life. Terri's style is conversational and direct, full of curiosity, jewels of insights, and heartfelt connectedness. I wish every executive could have Terri walk beside them to figure out what's next. I am forever grateful that I did."
