Today, Terri's clients include an impressive list of Fortune 500 companies, industry associations, and academic conferences. Her consulting practice has taken her from her house, to the US House of Representatives, where she was an opening keynote speaker for the US House of Representatives GOP Retreat addressing approximately 235 Congressmen and Women. This has led to additional invitations to present and coach leadership on "The Hill" including the House Republican Press Secretary Conference, the prestigious Heritage Foundation Resource Bank event, and an encore performance at the House GOP Retreat in 2008.
