Terre Tuzzolino is an accomplished executive coach, communication consultant, and strategic advisor with nearly 20 years of broad experience helping senior leaders courageously look at what is and boldly create a new future.

Clients gain clarity of purpose, build self-awareness, identify what’s working and what’s not, create robust plans for change and implement them in service of achieving lasting results. They know she will be a sounding board for ideas and someone they can consult in confidence about difficult conversations. Clients report that her optimistic, direct, empathetic, and results-oriented approach, combined with her business savvy and insights, has made them better leaders.

Terre’s clients range from Senior Directors to CEOs.  They include leaders in finance, operations, commercial, marketing, sales, and tech, as well as scientists and engineers. She’s had the privilege of working with senior leaders and teams from Fortune 500 companies, including AbbVie, Grainger, Harley Davidson, Ingredion, ITW, Kraft Foods, McDonalds, PepsiCo, SAP, SC Johnson, Shell, Starbucks, and US Foods.

Terre understands the challenges senior leaders face because she was one.  Prior to becoming an executive coach, Terre was AVP Marketing at Allstate.  Previously, she’d held senior level positions in direct marketing, corporate relations, advertising and brand/marketing communication.

Terre is a member of the International Coach Federation. She’s an Executive Coaching Partner for executives in the Kellogg Advanced Management program.   She also tutors grade-schoolers through an Evanston-based not-for-profit Books and Breakfast.  B&B helps kids start their day with a healthy meal, reading or homework time with a tutor, and the reward of gametime.  It gets the day off to a great start for kids and tutors alike.
