Testimonials

When our head of Human Resources, along with two members of our Executive Team, recommended we engage with Teresa Quinlan for Emotional Intelligence development, I didn’t know quite what to expect. Our first meeting with Teresa Quinlan brought a presentation on the ins and outs of emotional intelligence and its value to us as individuals, for the people we are leading, for our teams and for the company. In my first 1:1 session with Teresa Quinlan, she asked for my goals, and set the stage for how we would go about, together, achieving those goals; through examination of my current behaviours, beliefs, habits, and use of my emotional information. Over the course of 3 months, I have noticed...

I had the opportunity to meet Teresa Quinlan over coffee and very soon I felt a strong environment of trust was being formed.  In a follow-up session, I shared my Emotional Intelligence assessment that had been collecting dust for 2 years.  I had completed it but not really acted on a number of the recommendations that came with the report.  The questions she asked in the friendly, trusting environment allowed me to do a deep dive into my personal experiences.  I quickly realized that it is only when you share your experiences with someone as skilled in Emotional Intelligence coaching as Teresa, does meaningful change happen. Through Teresa’s encouragement, I was able to debate some...

YOUR STRATEGY NAVIGATOR

As I sit at my desk fielding many emails, texts, and calls with all my thoughts and responsibilities spinning, I am calm in the eye of this storm.  I have been working on myself in earnest for many years, though at some points more intentionally than others.  However, as my awareness of my inner calm is growing exponentially, I feel compelled to explore the why & the how.  I am experiencing the rewards of my ‘inner work’ as we have referred to this process in a deeper sense than ever before. Teresa Quinlan was that difference. A support, guide, mirror, confidante, challenger, listener, heart, head, hand, and anything else that is needed. I am overcome with gratitude as...

CATAPULT LEADERSHIP

Teresa Quinlan, I wanted to thank you for our work together this past year and share how much it has helped me. I’d like to expand on two aspects of your coaching: your materials/tools, and the skill and care with which you employ them. First, the materials and curriculum you employed, drew from a ton of sources to really zero in on the issues I was working on. I appreciated both the breadth of your knowledge background and your facility in adapting that to me and my journey. As a trained researcher, I value how you worked with metrics, perspectives, and journal prompts as tools rather than answers. It was refreshing that you introduced each as a way of uncovering part of the journey,...

1-on-1 Client

Teresa Quinlan makes a real, tangible, impact every time I interact with her.  She listens well, asks the right questions, and provides pragmatic, real-world, coaching after she understands the context of the issue at hand. I’ve had the pleasure of going through a personal EQ assessment and debrief which revealed several areas for me to dig into for my own personal development.  Teresa provided me with practical tools that I have continually leveraged over the past year as I moved from a corporate job to begin a consulting practice. As part of that practice, I have engaged Teresa Quinlan to share her knowledge with clients on multiple occasions.  Her sessions are always well-received...

Teresa Quinlan on All about Podcasting: How to Start, Finding Guests, Editing, Purpose and Vision, and More

The Blog of Nishant Garg

I wrote down 40 questions based on my podcasting experience and refined them by keeping in mind how to map out a podcasting life cycle journey in a simple and fun way, and someone who’s on any spectrum in their podcasting journey can take the bullets as the foundation and test their hypothesis. I didn’t know any better when I started in Jan 2020 and kept incrementally improving every week and as a result, I’ve interviewed 170+ world-class experts in different domains. If you’re planning to start a podcast, or have already started and may want to tweak things, this post is for you. I asked Teresa Quinlan who hosts a podcast TNT ESQ, who has been on my podcast.
