In addition to her many years behind the microphone, her background
in corporate America (including IBM, Eckerd Corporation and Tech Data),
experience with the network marketing industry, and years as a fitness
professional (ACE Certified Personal Trainer and AFAA Certified Aerobics
Instructor) have given Terez a powerful edge in understanding the
unique needs of multiple types of environments and clients, while
instilling in her the powerful values of focus, determination,
adaptability and discipline necessary to help others to thrive in
today's evolving business culture.
Terez and the Rock My Spirit! team are 100% AUTHENTIC.
From the time she was a child, Terez was passionate about finding
ways to help people to remember how powerful they truly are...
Even prior to the advent
of “The Secret” and “What the Bleep...”, Terez has spent the majority
of her life consciously working with the Law of Attraction and
"Allowing", and owes her many years of ever-increasing professional
success, her constant flow of creativity, her soul-mate marriage, her
vibrant health and her amazing relationships with positive-minded,
“cream-of-the-crop” human beings to practicing what she teaches in her
presentations, writings and music.
A prime example of her willingness to “walk the talk” was
demonstrated in her decision to quit a high-paying sales job to follow a
path in music - with no definable resources but her burning desire and a
mediocre Friday/Saturday night gig salary to support her. After taking
that huge leap of faith to follow her bliss several years ago, she has
enjoyed and prospered, working as a full-time speaker, musician, author,
composer and entrepreneur - and has never looked back.
Now LIVING her dream of writing and sharing her original music, stories
and what she has learned along the way, Terez and her Rock My Spirit!
team of musicians & visionaries, invite you to Rock YOUR Spirit and
be PART OF THE SOLUTION by ALLOWING YOUR SUCCESS, and empowering your
team/organization to reach new heights...
...and by so doing, actively contribute to helping us change the
world – one song at a time!
