I'm Terri!
From Corporate to Creative
My journey began with a career in corporate sales at companies like AT&T and Verizon. This experience, combined with a deep passion for helping others, led me to found The Etiquette and Soft Skills Institute, where I work as a trainer and speaker. I also had the honor of serving as a CEO for a Chamber of Commerce and as a City Planning Commissioner, roles that reinforced my commitment to community.
Today, I channel that same energy into new pursuits. As a Certified Master Gardener, I love sharing tips and tricks at my local library in Goodyear, Arizona. I also continue to teach private etiquette classes, helping young adults gain a competitive edge in their professional and personal lives.
Sharing My Stories
My greatest joy comes from writing and creating. I’m the proud author of The Untapped Advantage, a book that helps young adults master essential etiquette skills. I also wrote Kitchen Counter Superfoods and the children’s book Bear the Brave Blind Dog, a story inspired by my own beloved pet.
My work is supported by a Bachelor’s in Business Marketing and a Master’s in Adult Education, but it’s fueled by a genuine desire to connect, teach, and contribute to the world.
Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to connecting with you.
