Foundation.
Teresa’s own experience with hemiplegic migraine, a rare stress-induced neurological condition that produces stroke-like symptoms, became the catalyst for the work she does today. That experience put her into the deep study of what happens in the brain and nervous system when leaders operate under sustained pressure. It is what produced Leadership Frequency.
You don’t lose capability under pressure.
You lose access to it
That single insight is the foundation of Leadership Frequency. The methodology at the heart of the work is Reflect, Release, Restore. A three-step process for recognizing when your internal operating state has shifted, releasing whatever is narrowing your access to clear thinking, and allowing clarity to return.
Teresa developed the framework through years of working with leaders across industries, informed by neuroscience, nervous system science, and the kind of lived experience that only comes from having lost access to yourself completely, and rebuilt from the ground up.
She currently serves as an outside consultant and coach for global manufacturing corporation dealership groups, and works with leaders across pharmaceutical, healthcare, financial services, and manufacturing industries.
Teresa has been featured in Fortune, Authority Magazine, Psych Central, Women and Home, and The Good Trade.
Her TEDx talk on the stories we tell ourselves about what other people are thinking reached the top 2% of all TEDx talks globally. She is the author of Why Aren’t You Listening to Me? and is completing her second book, Leadership Frequency: How the Best Leaders Stay Themselves Under Pressure.
