“I connected with Terry through an internship program at UT McComb’s School of Business. During this internship I worked for Dell Inc. and Terry coached me for a year to deliver results to their business. My professional skills grew more during this year than any other due to Terry’s mentorship. I can sum up Terry’s influence in three areas:
- He’s tough: Terry communicates with the utmost respect and professionalism, but he will not short-change his students with the tough feedback they need to improve. I appreciate this candor from Terry, and I know it makes a difference.
- Business Insight: Terry has a knack for understanding what’s important to a business and how to address it. Seemingly with any functional area or business discipline, Terry knows what works, and advises his students on how to overcome obstacles and maximize results.
- Presentation Skills: Terry is a master of general presentation skills and specifically with PowerPoint. Separate from his knowledge of business, he coaches students to greatly improve their abilities in this area, especially when presenting to senior management.
In all, Terry is a servant leader. He mentors students for the fulfillment of seeing them grow and achieve success. I will be in touch with Terry for many years to continue a relationship with a great mentor and friend, and to receive feedback in the places I need most.”
