Transform your
leadership dynamism
to inspire, influence
and innovate every day.
Human energy is our most valuable commodity yet under-looked in a world where people are disconnected, algorithms shape identity, and rigid practices are out of sync with instinctive action.
The most powerful shift we can make is to cultivate the conditions where people contribute to issues that matter and put their talents to good use.
The silver lining is that people are energized when they're engaged in meaningful work.
Let's create the conditions for success, thriving ecosystems where people, connections and value flow.
Helping leaders to shape the conditions for success - dynamic workplaces where people are connected to what matters and energized to do their best work.
Every organization has a heartbeat - a collective energy that gives it life and meaning. My superpower is the ability to tune into the essence of what makes an organization tick and turn that into a tangible commodity. The approach is systemic and pragmatic. The results are transformational.

Hi, I'm Terena
I connect the dots across ecosystems so humans can connect, innovate, and transform
Transformation is a natural process of growth
Terena is an innovation catalyst who guides the process of transformation and creates the conditions that turn ambitious strategies into sustainable action. Renown for the design of modern ecosystems that work as a whole to adapt, innovate, embed and sustain growth, and deliver exponential value.
Terena has synthesized 30 years of leading ambitious initiatives and complex transformations into an intuitive model that helps leaders integrate ecosystem thinking into daily practice. By reframing the organization as interconnected adaptive system leaders are able to shape the human, systems and structural dynamics in real time to transform on the fly.
"The elegance of the Leader's Ecosystem* is the ease with which the interplay of dynamics opens perspective and willingness to engage in collaborative exploration."
The reality is that transformation is the new business-as-usual and an ecosystem mindset is an essential expansion to navigate more complex, interconnected landscapes where success depends more on connection + value flow and less on control + command.
Terena is a pragmatic, intuitive connector who simplifies complexity and blends ancient philosophies with multidisciplinary methodologies, science, positive psychology, neuroscience, and experiential lessons and innovation taken from life and work. She has positively impacted the growth mindset of tens and tens of thousands of people and built ecosystem communities that continue to evolve and flourish.
"There's an amazing energy shift when you ask people to describe their ideal state and they start to see more possibilities than constraints and start to make it happen."
