What people are saying

Dr Finney and I have worked together for two years.  I chose her based on her background in both psychology and executive coaching, as I hoped to take my executive role at a prominent VC firm to the next level and find a renewed sense of passion, joy and contentment in my professional career. 

Dr. Finney and I dove deep into my strengths and weaknesses, motivations and passions.  She helped me craft a detailed plan for how to define and achieve my true goals and ambitions in the next stage of my career.  She helped me face tough challenges and release myself from thought patterns and behavior that were holding me back, and helped me focus on strategies and tactics to achieve the growth I yearned for in my professional career and in finding a better work life balance.

She approached our journey from a place of deep care and compassion, while holding me accountable all along the way.  I am forever grateful for my time with Dr Finney, and as we wind down our formal engagement, I look forward to keeping in touch with her in the future.

As a first time entrepreneur, there are a myriad of emotions that take a toll on your physical and mental health, as well as your relationships. Through our sessions, Terri has provided tools that I have incorporated into my journey of continued improvement. The shift in mindset along with the tools provided through our sessions have allowed me to remove my mental blockers, so that I can focus on my mental and physical well being. I am currently in the best mental and physical condition I have ever been, and Terri has been an invaluable part of my journey.

Jaime Martinez | FOUNDER SCHOLA

The mental and personal challenges that come with being a founder are not talked about nearly enough, but working with Dr Finney has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. Dr. Finney's deep understanding of the professional world coupled with her active listening skills and vast experience make communication a breeze. The result is a deeper sense of acceptance and presence and confidence in my ability to navigate situations that would have left me overwhelmed previously. As a founder, it can be easy to fall into the trap of letting your work dominate your life, but Dr. Finney has helped me grow into a person that keeps the bigger picture in mind, focuses more on the process than the result, takes the good with the bad, and looks out for those around me more regularly and effectively.

I've worked with Terri since the very beginning of starting my company, and it's been a wonderful experience. At every step of the way, no matter what kind of issues were on my mind, she's been there to listen, to help me reflect, and to provide an objective perspective. The work we do together helps me make better decisions and protect my mental health in a demanding role.

Drew Marconi | Founder of IntelliGems

 I came to Terri during a very difficult time. I am the CEO of a tech startup and after a difficult fundraising period I needed some real help getting out of burnout and getting back to being empowered and productive. Within the first month, it was as if things had turned around completely. She has been more than a coach to me, she has been a guide to being my best self, not only to survive, but to thrive. 

Elliott Lyons | Founder and CEO of EnVision

It is hard to put into words how much Terri has helped me. As an Entrepreneur it has been hard to find someone that gets what I am going through emotionally, physically. Terri makes you come to terms with things we do not want to. She has made me address so many issues that I knew about and didn't want to come to terms with or issues I did not know existed. This has reduced stress and made me a better founder. She can always get me in the right headspace no matter what. Without her as my coach, I would not be as successful as I am. I owe so much of my success to her. Thank you for everything you have done for me and my business.

Terri has been working with entrepreneurial students at the University of Denver for two years. Her workshops are incredible – they are engaging, well-planned, and encourage vulnerability in a safe space. I’ve been impressed by her ability to connect with entrepreneurs of all ages and all stages. Her openness, frankness, and kindness are hallmarks of her style. And her tactical approach to identifying issues and tackling them head-on is refreshing. I welcome any opportunity to work with Terri and would highly recommend her for young, first-time entrepreneurs!

With her motivating, caring and supportive manner she has guided me to a more well-balanced life. I enjoyed working with Terri and highly recommend her.

Daniel Jones | Bext 360 CEO

Going through the PRO-D assessment was fascinating. In some areas it reinforced what I already believed about myself, but even better, it also identified strengths and skills in which I wasn’t aware I excelled. The results were much more detailed than other assessments I’ve taken. Terri explained these results to me in a clear way so that I gained new insight into myself, and then she helped me see how to apply the results to my life, goals and career. I’m so glad that I did the PRO-D.

Beth Henson, Attorney Mediator

Terri has been wonderful. I've worked directly with Terri and also engaged her to work with a number of entrepreneurs via my work. She's been a tremendous resource and helpful in so many capacities.

Marc Nager, Greater Colorado Venture Fund

To put it simply, Terri Finney is an amazing coach. You can tell from your first meeting how much she cares about supporting those around her, especially entrepreneurs. She understands the challenge and stress of being an entrepreneur and balances that with a unique and special ability to support as well as challenge our teams to dig deep and work at the most fundamental level. We are so thankful that she chooses to continue to work with us and our startups. She is an integral part of their health and success as a team, a founder and a person.

Kevin Farrington, SVP Global Supply Chain & Operations

I love Terri's down to earth way of helping me look for paths and options in my life. She wasn't there to give me the answers, but rather to guide me towards the best actionable solutions. I would recommend her for anyone looking to improve their professional lives and maximize their purpose.
