Terri Podlenski, M.A.

A client once told me that I'm in "the word and picture business!"

Whether it's marketing and collateral material for a big event, defining the essence of a brand, creating a single marketing piece, lead magnet or full blown website, the right words and pictures bring life to the message and move people to take a desired action.

My personal purpose is Empowering Potential. Brainstorming, strategizing, digging deeper, solving problems and helping people get clarity are my passions. I am a lifelong learner, well-studied, committed to excellence and have invested thousands to stay on top of industry best practices and strategies.

As an entrepreneur since 1990, I have worn every hat imaginable and been on both sides of the platform-building business over the past 25+ years...building one with my former business partner and helping others build theirs since 2007.

The problem is, because I have enjoyed a solid repeat and referral-based business with a great clientele for over 15 years, I haven’t put the time and attention into building my own platform online. (Shame on me.) I'm like the best kept secret coming out from behind the scenes to finally do all the things I have my clients do:) It's about to get fun!!

If you are looking for a thinking partner who values excellence, creativity, attention to detail and a commitment to helping you stand out and attract more right-fit clients, then we might just be a good fit!

"Success is knowing your purpose in life, growing to reach your maximum potential, and sowing seeds that benefit others."
