 Terry
Atkinson is a certified life and career coach who also has the
distinction of being a registered Professional Engineer in the state of
Texas . She holds a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from
the University of Texas and worked for over 20 years as an
environmental consultant to several large and small corporations prior
to finding her true calling and passion as a coach.
As a career coach, she now
uses her unique blend of skills and general business knowledge to help
individuals determine their specials strengths and skills and then find
the best fit to maximize job performance and achieve success in life.
She also loves to help people work past the roadblocks that keep them
from enjoying their work and living their lives to the fullest.
For those who wonder how an
engineer got into coaching, it's really very simple. Engineers like to
problem-solve, work intuitively, analyze situations and keep things
running properly. Most engineers apply these skills to physical
processes. Terry likes to do this too but actually prefers to use all
these skills instead to help people and organizations run properly. She
is able, as well, to incorporate all the business skills she has
learned over the years as an environmental consultant - and even as a
Mom!
On the side, Terry also heads
up a ministry at her church helping those who are looking for
employment. If that describes you or someone you know and you live in
the general Houston area, you are welcome to take advantage of this
opportunity to get support as well as help with resume preparation,
networking tips, interview helps and any other areas related to a
successful job search.
This informal
group meets
from 7-9pm on Monday nights
at St. Ignatius Loyola
Catholic Church,
7801 Cypresswood Dr. ,
Spring,
TX 77379.

Testimonial:
Terry
Atkinson kept me on-pace and on-target during this past year while I
was overwhelmed with a potential new employment opportunity, creating a
talk radio show, as well as writing and editing my first book. Calm,
focused and passionate about what you are doing is Terry's hallmark.
You may not even recognize, until well after the fact, how much her
guidance has meant to you.

Testimonial:
Thank you for
your enthusiasm and energy during our career coaching sessions. Working
with you to align my personal and professional goals with my value
system has been extremely valuable. When I was recently faced with
selecting between job offers, you were able to offer clarity and a
logic that supported a natural and obvious selection. Your assessment
of the choices was absolutely correct resulting in a terrific work
experience. Blending the professional counseling with personal
considerations has been a natural extension of the coaching program.
