Wendy Terwelp’s Summary

Wendy Terwelp is the Career and Personal Branding Strategist for entrepreneurial executives, solopreneurs, and business owners ready for their next big gig. As an entrepreneur, former recruiter, reporter, and PR pro, Wendy uses a motivational approach to help clients be rock stars at work.

Her process includes personal branding, coaching, and action steps combined with hard-hitting self-marketing programs that put everything clients have done in a positive light (or nearly everything!). In the words of an Executive Director client: “You made me laugh, you made me think, and you gave me strength and confidence to take what I have and market myself, and get what I want.”

How does Wendy know so much about entrepreneurs? Early on, Wendy enthusiastically grilled entrepreneurs about the secrets of their success and business startup experiences. Based on their feedback, she developed her first business plan, complete with revenue projections -- at age 12. Many years and several gigs later, she’s ready to help you.
