Mel Robbins said: “Courage is just a push. When you push yourself, you may not change the world, the laws, or spark a civil rights movement, but I can guarantee you’ll change something equally as important – you change yourself”. 

Terry Yoffe, has experienced a great deal of change. As she told me, “Life happens and since I never had a financial safety net not only did I have to change but I had to learn to embrace change.”

Meet Terry Yoffe

Currently Terry is an Executive, Business & Career Coach / Top 2% Global Podcast Host of Extraordinary Work: Conversations about Creating Change. 

Terry, had many stops along the way – growing up Queens, NY with dysfunctional family. She lacked confidence, self-esteem, had a sense of doom. Despite this less than desirable start, she learned to “yes” to opportunities. I took what Brene Brown said to heart “Own your story.” The first stop was in the fashion industry.  “No matter the role, I was totally committed and performed at a high level. 

As the industry changed so did Terry. Stops including working in journalism, her own sales company, and ultimately to her current career. “The universe is always sending us signs and when we listen and take action, we create the life we love. It doesn’t matter your age. Society says we should retire in our 60’s. I am north of 70 and I am always looking for the next adventure.”
