Adroit Facilitation and Executive Coaching
I worked with Terry Taylor, Versoria, Inc., for approximately 2 years in the capacity of organizational development consultant, facilitator and executive coach. During that time she helped me and my team of fifteen navigate the departure of a supervisor, and 3 staff members some of whom left quite a wake upon their leave. Terry facilitated two planning retreats, one solution seeking retreat, and one teambuilding retreat. We learned our communications styles and defense strategies and learned...

Thanks for your insights over the years!

By use of that word, I mean that Terry listens carefully to people, ensures she understands what the issues are, and then diligently works with her clients to help them create the results they want in their businesses and in their lives. Terry is energetic, creative, helps people to challenge their own paradigms about growth, and is focused on...
She focused us on moving forward
I had the pleasure of working with Terry during her time as a member of the Board of Directors at Harlequin Productions. As a staff person, I appreciated her ability to build the board team and ask pertinent questions that helped focus us on moving forward instead of on the past. -Trudy Soucoup, Homes First
What value have I received
I feel that you had everything to do with how great of an experience this has been for me! I have read stories about how meeting one person can change your life and now I can say it has happened to me. While I have often said that I can do anything I put my mind to, I have had difficulty putting my mind to anything! Several times over the past 20 years I sought out therapists whom I had hoped would help me figure out why I was so restless and discontent. Had I known about coaching then I would...
Terry provided a thorough SWOT
Terry provided a thorough SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis for our organization which gave us the information we needed to strengthen and further develop our strategic plan. I highly recommend her organizational consulting services, she provided her objective perspective that helped us move forward very productively. -S. York, Falls Prevention
We are going again!
We’ve been doing well enough since the recession, staying busy enough and engaged enough. But, in the aftermath of that stress, we forgot to celebrate making it through. And, we forgot to get ourselves over it. Terry helped us see where we wanted to put a shine on some of our business practices, make our public presence more credible, and strengthen ourselves as business partners and leaders. Terry coached us to see the strengths in our different work styles and helped us find a way to...
Dwayne Boggs, Boggs Inspection Services
My company was working remotely long before COVID-19. But, even with all the benefits of the job, I found that some of my employees weren’t really appreciating their employment and some were actively undermining me. I made a commitment to tackle concerns honestly. Terry helped me create self-reporting performance measures, removing barriers to transparency, establish expectations verbally and in writing and I held my employees accountable. And, with her help I backed up my policies by making...
I always say…there was this coach!
Early on I hired Terry as my coach to help me with priority setting and time allocation. Terry helped me think through my personal values and priorities and those early conversations helped me as a new business owner to guide my business to six-figure success. -Andrew Barkis, Hometown Property Management
Diane Branson Unwin, Happily Retired, America’s Credit Union
I started coaching with Terry to assist me in coping with my current work environment. Over the 16 plus years I coached with Terry it evolved into so much more. Terry's expert knowledge in the coaching field and her own professional experience took me from coping to excelling. Her feedback was a path to model my management techniques, develop a high performing team and to, in turn, have the skills to coach my own staff; as well as make cultural changes in the organization. One of the many...

Lee’s Team
Terry, Our team meeting this morning was the best we've ever had! It was really positive and productive. We're heading in the right direction! Thank you for your help. -Lee Johanna Edwards
Powerful coaching experience!
As a burned out, lost and discouraged business owner, I found myself on a mission to find a "guru with all the answers." What I experienced in the 24-months working with Versoria's Terry Taylor, however, was how to initiate profound change from within myself. Along with the more routine strategies and mind-mapping, Terry's greatest gift lies in her uncanny ability to stoke the fires of motivation and activate her client's entrepreneurial ingenuity. The creativity that roared through me 23...
Terry Taylor helped me seek clarity in myself
Terry Taylor helped me seek clarity in myself, my trajectory as a business marketing professional and business owner, and helped be the mirror that I can see myself in a good light.

Amazing Business Coach
Terry has the talent, the expertise, the integrity and the heart to help you find the truth. Terry is electric when leading groups. She has the ability to ask those most important piercing questions in a way that is healthy and respectful. Ideas spark under her facilitation. Terry is the best coach I know. She is where I go for assistance when stuck in my own unworkable patterns. This is someone every executive should work with at least once. -Diane Vasarkovy, Wolf Consulting, Retired
