Meet Terry
Communicator, Author and Speaker
Everything we do or say, in every way, every day, throughout the day, intentionally and unintentionally, communicates a
positive or negative message to others.
People Connectors is powerful, positive communication.
People Connectors
Online or in the room, all sessions are tailored to fit your needs.
With more than 30 years of experience building dialog between superintendents and educators - Terry's People Connectors improve communication for educators at every stage of their career:
- improve virtual classroom participation
- enhance team collaboration
- resolve learning challenges
- communicate diverse perspectives
- create a love for learning
Through vast life experiences, voracious reading, trial and error and the school of hard knocks, I've learned what works and what doesn't work when it comes to connecting with others. My books, videos and programs provide practical connectors, based on a lifetime of learning. They've immeasurably changed my life and the lives of thousands of educators with whom I've been privileged to share my message.
Let me help you today!
