These frequently asked questions cover what sustainable leadership coaching is, how nervous system resilience improves your performance, and what to expect when working with Terra Ann. Whether you’re a purpose-driven leader, in transition, or leading a team, you’ll find insights to schedule your complimentary session.
Q: What is sustainable leadership coaching?
A: Sustainable leadership coaching helps leaders create long-term success without sacrificing well-being. My approach blends conscious leadership principles, nervous system resilience, and practical strategies so you can lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose. It’s about building leadership “ecosystems” that thrive — balancing results, relationships, and personal health.
Q: How does nervous system resilience improve leadership?
A: A resilient nervous system allows you to stay grounded and resourceful under pressure, make clearer decisions, and lead with presence. In our work, we integrate practices that help you regulate stress, recover faster, and respond intentionally rather than react impulsively — skills that ripple into every area of leadership and life.
Q: How can leaders avoid burnout while still achieving results?
A: Burnout happens when leaders push without replenishing. My coaching helps you set clear priorities, align your energy with your highest-impact actions, and create structures that support both your goals and your well-being. You’ll learn tools for boundary-setting, recovery, and sustainable productivity so you can succeed without depleting yourself.
Q: I already have a successful career — how can coaching help me?
A: Even accomplished leaders hit plateaus or feel unfulfilled. Coaching helps you uncover blind spots, refine your leadership style, and align your work with what matters most to you. Many of my clients come to coaching not because they’re failing, but because they’re ready to grow into their next level of impact and satisfaction.
Q: Is leadership coaching right for me if I’m in transition?
A: Absolutely. Whether you’re stepping into a new role, shifting industries, or reimagining your work-life balance, coaching provides the clarity, structure, and support you need to navigate change confidently. Together, we’ll turn uncertainty into a clear plan forward.
Q: Do you work with clients outside of Hawaii?
A: Yes. While I’m based in O‘ahu, I work with clients across the U.S. and internationally virtually.
Q: Do you work with both individuals and organizations?
A: Yes. I coach purpose-driven individuals as well as leadership teams within organizations. For teams, I also offer workshops on sustainable leadership, communication, and nervous system resilience.
Q: What makes your coaching approach unique?
A: My work combines decades of leadership and wellness experience — from running international retreats to guiding corporate leaders — with deep training in conscious leadership and nervous system health. Clients often describe my approach as a rare balance of compassion and challenge, helping them dream bigger while giving them the tools to follow through.
