Teresa Calkins

As a former VP of Market Development, I have years of experience in business working with a team to: drive strategic and operational planning; manage, plan and utilize primary and secondary research to drive results; brand consistently and effectively; communicate with internal and external customers; and drive revenue growth through the launch of new products and processes while retaining the current loyal customer base.

I am an effective change agent. One who is commtted to helping your company and team realize their goals and objectives in creative, convenient and timely ways. My experience as a consultant crosses continents and includes work in the USA, Latin America and in difficult and culturally divergent countries like: Yemen, Iraq, Ethiopia and Tajikistan. I have helped seriously disadvantaged companies rewrite their maps to success.

My coaching and training style easily adapts to the needs of the organization and may result in group training sessions, 1-1 meetings, workshops, seminars or exchanges via phone, skype or conferencing technology. Communications systems will be ironed out in the first 30 minute free coaching session provided to clients.

Training and coaching without measureable results is a waste of both your time and money. My objective is to drive results for the team/company through needs assessments, data gathering, research, communication and observation. All this happens before we begin developing growth strategies. These steps take time but do not have to be costly. Working together with your team, who knows your market, your products/services and your competition, will result in an efficient and effective plan which we will hammer out together.

Looking at problems and concerns with an eye to turning those into opportunities for growth and development of your team/organization is something I do well. Your problem can also be a solution if addressed effectively, efficiently and often, with creativity. I will drive productive change in YOUR organization while focusing on results, the team's growth and development and improving you position within your industry/sector.

Competition starts the change game. Identifying who you are; who competes with you for share of audience, market and revenue; is where we start finding solutions to your concerns.
