“The one thing you need to do in this world is keep up and stay current with changes, whether you like it or not.”

– Terry Yoffe, CPCC, PCC Certified Business Coach

Coaching and Consulting Experience

Terry Yoffe is an Executive, Business and Career Coach. She has been coaching for over 20 years, after many years in both corporate and entrepreneurial roles. She brings an impressive breadth and depth of knowledge to her coaching and specializes in global business relations, which is critical to her work with international clients.

As an executive and business coach, Terry helps her clients maximize their talents and achieve their full potential. She employs a two-step process: having the client clarify their goals and then developing a focused strategic plan.

Her extensive background and experience in diverse business settings gives her a keen insight into her clients’ unique situations. She has coached many high-achieving business professionals ranging from young professionals, to mid-level managers, to C Suite executives, in both corporations and private practice. She helps them remove the obstacles that keep them from breaking through and achieving their desired personal and professional goals. Terry believes that the relationship she builds with her clients, allows them to become courageous and after working with her, they’re able to cut through the stories they tell themselves. They can then ultimately step outside of their comfort zones to meet all challenges.

Terry has an uncompromising and disciplined approach to coaching. She has drive and a caring concern for her client’s need to achieve the successes they desire. This allows her clients to gain greater self-awareness, personal fulfilment, and professional success.

Terry’s openness and insightfulness enables her clients to get the most out of their coaching relationship. The results she has helped clients achieve have earned her the respect and gratitude of those she connects with. Terry works with professionals in both the corporate and entrepreneurial world in helping them maximize their talents and achieve their full potential by focusing from the inside out.

Business/Organizational Leadership Experience

Terry’s business acumen includes Director of Travel Marketing and Sales at Conde Nast, The New Yorker and Bon Appetit; New England Territory Manager of Sales at Women’s Wear Daily; and her successful entrepreneurial career as the founder of both Terry Yoffe Enterprises and TRY Coaching. She spent over 15 years in the publishing industry in top-level sales roles. Terry’s first-hand knowledge of the drive, personality and challenges that come with being an entrepreneur make her a rare and valuable asset to the clients with whom she works.

Education and Training

Terry’s credentials include her Professional Certified Coach (PCC) accreditation with the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and her certification Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) with the Coaches Training Institute (CTI). She served as President on the ICF board, New York City Chapter. Additionally, Terry has achieved both Master and Post-Master Certifications as a Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner. Neuro-linguistic programming or NLP is an approach to understanding and changing thoughts, feelings, language and behaviors to achieve goals.

She is an Affiliate Member at the Institute of Coaching at McLean Hospital, a Harvard Medical School Affiliate. She was chosen to participate in the New York University Psychoanalytic Institute’s Fellowship Program. Terry was recognized by Advertising Women of New York (AWNY) as the organization’s 2012 Crystal Prism Award winner for her significant impact and contribution in the area of Mentoring.

“Terry is tough and will hold you accountable, and she is also incredibly warm and made it easy for me to speak openly and honestly. I couldn’t have launched my new business without her guidance.”

– Maggie, Health Coach, New York, NY

Philosophy

We start by looking from the inside out. Together, we will overcome obstacles and discover your true potential as you navigate today’s changing landscape.

What you can accomplish every day relates to how you think and feel about yourself, the language you use to express yourself, your well-being, your attitude, how you respond to challenges and opportunities, and how you set and meet goals. These internal factors, more than external circumstances, shape your experience. Understanding this allows you to maximize your strengths and accomplishments.

As a team, we will work closely to clarify your personal and professional goals and to develop a plan to achieve them. We will strive for balance and fulfillment consistent with your personal and professional values, while overcoming your fears and barriers to success during these challenging times.

Through focused language awareness, you will learn how to use language to communicate, make connections and achieve positive results in all areas of your life.

“Terry is an exceptional executive coach and human being. The results from this experience are tangible. Over time I have become a better, more authentic public speaker, which has opened the door for more opportunities for advancement.”

– Jillian, Lawyer
