Transform your
leadership dynamism
to inspire, influence
and innovate every day.
Human energy is our most valuable commodity yet under-looked in a world where people are disconnected, algorithms diminish human identity, and old practices are out of sync with instinctive action.
The most powerful shift you can make is to cultivate the conditions where creativity, resilience, and human connections flow.
The silver lining is that people are energized when connected to meaningful work and free to put their instinctive talents to good use.
Let's create the conditions for success, thriving ecosystems where people, connections and value flow.
Helping leaders to shape the conditions for success - dynamic workplaces where people are connected to what matters and energized to do their best work.
Every organization has a heartbeat - a collective energy that gives it life and meaning. Your superpower is the ability to tune into the essence of what makes your organization tick and turn that into a tangible commodity. The approach is systemic and pragmatic. The results are transformational.
Curious? Contact me to explore how you can transform the way you and your people connect, take action and succeed in an interconnected world.

Hi, I'm Terena
I connect the dots across ecosystems so humans can connect, innovate, and transform
Transformation is a natural process of growth
Terena is a transformation catalyst who helps organizations shift beyond conventional leadership thinking to embrace ecosystem mindsets that shift the focus beyond the organization and unlock the power of possibility and exponential value.
Renown for the design of innovative solutions to navigate complex transformations, Terena has synthesized 30+ years of experiential intuition into an ecosystem model that helps leaders integrate the power of systems thinking into daily practice.
The obvious benefits of shifting from internal operations to an external holistic focus are accelerated innovation, enhanced resilience and adaptability, expanded growth opportunities, superior value creation and customer experience.
"The elegance of the Leader's Ecosystem* is the ease with which leaders sense the interplay of dynamics which expands perspective and opens dialogue to engage in collaborative exploration."
The reality is that the ecosystem mindset is now an essential expansion to the repertoire of any leader facing high complexity, rapid disruption and the need to deliver integrated, multi-faceted solutions to customers and society.
The added disruption of AI is ultimately an invitation for leaders and employes to transcend traditional mechanistic tasks (that AI can do better) and find deeper purpose in their work. The shift is no longer about better business outcomes and old measurements based on a worldview that no longer applies. The ecosystem mindset operates on exponential benefits and network effects and the power of impossibility. The Leader's Ecosystem* heralds a more human way of working and is an essential model for future survival and prosperity. Less about control + command wand more about connection + flow.
Terena is a pragmatic, intuitive connector who helps her clients bring the future into the present. A life-long learner, she blends ancient philosophies with best practice multidisciplinary methodologies, science, positive psychology, neuroscience, experience and imagination taken from life and work. She has positively impacted the growth of tens and tens of thousands of people and built ecosystem communities that continue to evolve and flourish.
"There's an amazing energy shift when you ask people to describe their ideal state. They start to imagine a future beyond constraints and realize they're already partway there."
