Terrie Power Coaching Hi Reader, What if the thing you've been hoping for is more possible than you think? Maybe you've had an idea that's been sitting on the shelf. A business you've wanted to grow. A book you've wanted to write. Or maybe you're simply tired of knowing you're capable of more but aren't sure what the next step looks like. Last week, I shared the story of five words that changed the direction of my life: "I think it's possible." Those words didn't change my circumstances. They...

It Almost Stayed a Someday Dream Terrie Power Coaching … If Jason hadn't asked one simple question that evening, I honestly don't think Terrie Power Coaching would exist today. At the time, all I could see were the reasons to wait. Kids in college. A full-time job. A busy life. Maybe someday. Then he said something I'll never forget. "I think it's possible." We were watching an Enneagram webinar together when I casually said, "I'd love to be a speaker and a coach someday." It wasn't some big...

What Happens When August Stops Being the Reset Button? Terrie Power Coaching … A realization snuck up on me this week. Not while planning. Not while coaching. Not finally putting away all the “stuff” from my 27 years in education. It happened on an ordinary morning when I woke up and realized: My life no longer resets in August. For most of my adult life, summer had a rhythm. Work hard. Finish the school year. Exhale. Recover. Reset. Start again. Even when summers were busy, there was always...

Let’s Try a Different Summer Approach Terrie Power Coaching … There’s something about summer that makes us think in extremes. Either: This is my chance to finally get my life together. Or… I’ll get back on track in August. Anyone else? 😄 But what if you didn’t have to choose? What if it’s not about getting it all done or completely checking out? What if summer is actually one of the best times to refresh? Why summer feels different Schedules shift. Travel pops up. Kids are home. Or maybe...

You don’t need more pressure. You need the next step. Terrie Power Coaching … As I've been preparing for the Working Genius Workshop next week, I've found myself reflecting on just how much this framework has changed the way I look at work. Not because it helped me become more productive. It did. But because it helped me understand why certain parts of my work gave me energy while other parts left me completely drained. For years, I thought that was just part of being an adult. Turns out,...

The Reset I Almost Missed Terrie Power Coaching … Last week, I spent two days beside water. Not on vacation. Not because I had everything figured out. Quite the opposite. After stepping away from a 27-year career in education and moving into Terrie Power Coaching full-time, I found myself feeling something I wasn't expecting. I knew what I was doing. I wasn't sure who I was becoming. That's a different question. And honestly, I almost missed it because I was busy trying to figure out what to...

A Better Way to Plan Your Work Terrie Power Coaching … I had a realization this week while building my new work schedule. And honestly, it changed how I’m thinking about this next season. As many of you know, I officially retired from education. (Still feels weird to type that.) After 27 years in schools, I’m stepping fully into Terrie Power Coaching full-time. Which is exciting. And also a little disorienting if I’m honest. Because when you leave a career with built-in rhythms, structure,...

Finding a way Terrie Power Coaching … A funny thing happened this week. Retirement finally made me sad. Which feels like interesting timing because when this lands in your inbox, I’ll be retiring from education tomorrow! Eeek. Whew. I’m excited. Truly. I was standing in my dining room putting away flowers, decor, and the last little pieces from Nathaniel’s wedding while getting ready to clean out two classrooms this weekend, when it hit me. This is real. Not in the abstract “someday I’ll...
