About Teresa Ray

Leadership is the difference maker and the deal breaker. It’s how we grow organizations.  It’s how we impact lives. But, as you also know, leadership cannot be an idea we simply talk about; leadership is the action we must live out.

As a John Maxwell Certified Coach, Teacher and Speaker, I can offer you workshops, seminars, keynote speaking, and coaching, aiding your personal and professional growth through study and practical application of John’s proven leadership methods. Working together, I will move you and/or your team or organization in the desired direction to reach your goals.

In January 2006 I started TCM, Inc. d/b/a NWA Executive Coaching Solutions, which has enjoyed continued growth. In 2007, I also began teaching as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Arkansas facilitating courses such as “Applied Theory and Principles of Group and Team Dynamics,” “Leadership” and “Visionary Leadership.” Prior to 2006, I served as the Associate Director of Executive Education at the Sam M. Walton College of Business, University of Arkansas.

Leveraging my 17+ years of leadership and team building experience I provide coaching and consultation to a wide range of individuals and organizations, across various industries. My experience includes both public and privately held Corporations as well as State and Federal Government organizations.

Serving as a leader in several organizations myself, I am an advocate for emotionally intelligent leaders who build energizing work climates and strive for effective communication and motivation. Due to my work in both internal and external organizational contexts, I know how to support individuals to reach and exceed individual and organizational goals.

The majority of my clients are developing and maximizing their leadership capabilities and emotional/social intelligence skills. These clients are learning new approaches to creating positive organizational climates while leading and motivating individuals and high-performance teams as well as practicing effective communication, change management and conflict resolution techniques.

A sample of my clients includes: NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) The University of Arkansas, PepsiCo/FritoLay, Social Security Administration, Delaware North Companies, Inc., Bell Sports/Riddell Helmets, CSA Recruiters, City of Farmington, AR, MoneyGram Inc., and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Additionally, I have coached individual clients from a variety of disciplines, including Engineering, Information Technology, Physicians, Politicians, Bankers, Lawyers, Teachers, Law Enforcement, Non-Profit Leaders, Marketing & Sales Professionals, Business Development Officers, small-business owners, CEOs, Directors, and Project Managers.
