Hi, I'm Terrie Power.

I lost 3 hours doing nothing

You’re Not Lazy.
You’re Stuck in a Pattern.

Terrie Power Coaching

…

I lost three hours and couldn’t tell you what I did.

Laptop open. Notes everywhere.
It looked like I was working.

I wasn’t.

I told myself I needed more discipline.

That wasn’t it.

Here’s what I see all the time (in myself too):

When something feels uncomfortable or unclear…
we don’t stop.

We shift.

  • research instead of decide
  • plan instead of act
  • stay busy instead of move forward

It looks productive.

It’s not.

Next time you feel stuck, try this:

Where do I feel pressure?
What am I doing instead?
What am I trying not to feel?
What’s one step I can take anyway?

Just one.

I wrote more about this here: Why You Can’t Follow Through (And What Your Enneagram Has to Do With It)​

If you want to understand your pattern, start with the Free Enneagram Assessment.​

If you want to actually change it, that’s what we’ll do inside the cohort (starts April 14).

You’re not inconsistent.

You just haven’t named the pattern yet.

Let’s name the pattern together. Reach out and let me know what your patterns are. I read every email.

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...
