Dr. Terry Farris is an Entrepreneur, Educator, Administrator, and Coach with over 20 years experience working in all areas of Higher Education..
Prior to working as the Chief Academic Officer at American Heritage College, I have spent many years assisting team members and graduates with becoming better individuals from a career perspective. However, it is important to dedicate time to focusing on the mindset.
I believe it is important to find ourselves first, before we can assist others with finding their best selves. For example, in 2019 I found myself at a crossroads. I wasn’t enjoying life. I realized that for over a decade I was chasing a career, not happiness. It hurt many people in my life. That hurt can never be repaid.
Finding my mindset has been beneficial to me because I can focus on today, not yesterday. I can let go of the mistakes and now, I can help others find the tools that will help him/her find the path to a professional mindset.
I am no stranger to adversity. We can all overcome the voices and doubts that we thrust upon ourselves, while also learning every day. They say knowledge is power. But, if you don’t believe in yourself and the true abilities you have, you will continue to struggle.
I enjoy what I do, and I want to continue to become a better person and help you become find yourself.
