Success with Tess

About Tess


I'm a certified coach from an organization (CoachU) affiliated with the ICF.  I've had coaching training, mentoring, practicum hours, and observation by master coaches. I've been certified since 2008, but I believe in life-long learning. So I always look for ways to improve my coaching skills and pass that along to you.


I've worked for large corporations in the industries of supply chain and telecommunications and medium/small businesses in consulting, material handling, and publishing. My business experience includes years of providing technical & soft skills training, as well as technical writing. I have been through Six Sigma Green Belt training and worked on Kaizen projects. In addition, I had a wonderful career as a public school teacher for 13 years. I'm a published writer: monthly articles, short stories, poems, and two children's books.


Some areas of coaching that I am passionate about include

    • Career moves and changes
    • Resumes and interviews
    • Divorce recovery
    • Parenting, single parenthood
    • Setting boundaries
    • Personal development and effective communication
    • Moving out of abusive relationships
    • Process management - in life and business

    • Professional writing 

    • Setting high goals and ACHIEVING THEM

Important Note:
While we may discuss these topics during our coaching, I do not provide therapy or therapeutic counseling, or medical or financial advice. However, I am more than happy to provide you with the names of providers of those services who I highly recommend. My goal is to show you how to grab your success!
