Pls stop saying "it's not about me" (Because it is!)

By Terri TrespicioI can’t tell you HOW many business owners, consultants, and coaches tell me that they don’t think their business should be “about” them.Why? A fear of making yourself the center of attention, of looking self-serving or full of it.I get it.But legit hiding behind your website or mission statement, or just hoping someone…

You're not going to solve it all today. (And it's fine.)

By Terri TrespicioWhen you woke up today, there were problems to be solved….This thing is broken….This thing smells weird….This thing needs to be returned for a full refund.Then there’s……This person is mad (I think?)….That person won’t get back to me….These people are impossible.It’s endless.You will not solve it all in a day. You won’t solve…

Are you (actually) telling people what you think?

By Terri TrespicioWhen I had a full-time job a million years ago at a catalog company, I had a lot of questions, and opinions about the answers. Sometimes this was helpful; other times…not.(One HR woman a million years ago literally asked me if I would not speak up in meetings because when I did, people…

Hi there.

Hi there.

Hi there.

I’m Terri Trespicio, and I’m a writer, speaker, and brand advisor.

I help people identify, articulate, and seize on their own standout ideas—for their brands, businesses, whatever work they do—so that they can become powerful, and fulfilled, contributors and leaders.

I do it by creating the conditions for creative breakthroughs.

Doesn’t matter what industry you’re in, or what audience you serve. If any part of what you do relies on your ability to capture attention and compel someone else, I can help.

I speak all over the country, lead workshops and retreats, and work one-on-one with clients to help them go from paralyzed to prolific, from stuck to full steam ahead—and not only change how they see their own work, but how they see everything else, too.

What if the very thing that makes you

different

is the one thing you've

overlooked?

What if the very thing that makes you

different

is the one thing you've

overlooked?

What if the very thing
that makes you

different

is the one thing you've

overlooked?

Sometimes you're too close to see it

Sometimes you're too close to see it

Sometimes you're too close to see it.

Because there’s what you do. And then, there’s what you really do.

We’ve all got stuff to do, things to make, people to serve. But where we get stuck is when we think we’re doing one thing...when we’re really doing another.

Stop waiting for inspiration, angels, heroes, government mandates.

(And stop searching for your passion, please).

...and start creating and sharing work that matters, not just to you—but to everyone else.

Wake your inner iconoclast

Wake your inner iconoclast

Wake your inner iconoclast

If you want to stand out—as a leader, a professional, a person—there’s only one way to do it: access your own creative genius to fuel your standout ideas.

Time to wake your inner iconoclast. (Or, your inner welder, or mama bear, or murder hornet. Whatever works for you.)

Why? Because you can’t have a breakthrough without it. Does it feel risky? Sure. And yet it’s the only way to make the work that will matter most.

You don’t have to be a magician or a genius (though you’re likely a bit of both). You have to decide that you want to do more, be more, or offer more, than you thought possible.

You don’t need to be “inspired.” You simply need to begin.
