In this episode, Holly & Kristin talk with Terri Herrmann & Kurt Heikkinen about:
- Being true to who you are
- Mind, body, spirit health and using the power of these three things together. Surrounding yourself not only with those who uplift you, but also those who will challenge you
- When we listen more than expressing our own thoughts, great ideas come forward
Key Takeaways
- Take care of yourself and find balance in the mind, body and spirit. Whatever spirituality means for you, it is at the center of life. Find it and engage in feeding this piece of yourself.
- Servant leaders work together as a team. Be intentional about culture – values, operating disciplines and characteristics.
- Balance the “how” with the results. Sometimes organizations focus solely on the results and miss the power of the “how.” They miss the powerful foundation where businesses thrive.
- Don’t be afraid to share your fears with those you trust. They can help you.
Terri Herrmann is the co-founder of CharismaQ - a coaching and communications platform to evaluate, coach, and create charismatic people.
Terri believes that behind every great brand is an even better story. She knows that true financial success happens when you have the confidence to live your own personal brand and communicate the “story of you.”
Terri has partnered with sales teams to exceed revenue goals, and she’s led the launch of three major brands to the market. However, what really drives and inspires Terri is creating meaningful connections and making a difference. Whether that is through leading and growing teams, creating brand advocates, launching and promoting new products to the market, or building an opportunity pipeline - her best work is tied to a greater purpose.
Before starting a business on April 1st, 2020, during a pandemic, Terri spent her entire career leading sales and marketing teams for ManpowerGroup, Runzheimer, Montage, and Modern Hire. After 20 years of sales and marketing success, Terri knew her purpose was to build a business. A business that teaches teams how to show up with confidence and charisma to accelerate performance.
Terri is a Wisconsin native and a UW Whitewater alum. She lives in Richfield with her husband, two children, and their 12-pound dog, Ellie “Ninja” Herrmann.
