Coaching and Business Experience
Terry-Lyn is a highly qualified coach and trainer with many years experience establishing and building businesses and working with people to achieve what they really want.
Coaching accelerates a client’s progress by providing greater focus and awareness of choice. Coaching is future focused – we identify where the client is now and what they are they willing to do to get where they want to be in the future. She recognizes that results are a matter of the client’s intentions, choices and actions with the support of the coach’s efforts and application of the coaching process.
Terry-Lyn honours the client as the expert in his or her life and work, believing that every client is creative, resourceful and whole. Our core principles in coaching and training focus on:
• Setting a foundation with the client
• Co-creating the relationship
• Effectively communicating with the client
• Facilitating learning
• Setting goals
• Achieving the desired outcome
Terry-Lyn attributes being highly skilled at listening and asking specific questions vital to the process of delving into core issues when coaching and accessing the source rather than coaching what is on the surface. She loves reframing things with her clients and listening as their language shifts from using words such as should, would, got to, have to, but and because, to choosing more empowered language like will, can, able to, actioning. Terry-lyn is excited to be part of one of the fastest growing industries and watching as she contributes personally to successfully assist others to create change and achieve greater fulfillment.

Testimonials
Coaching helped me to get focus on my own direction. First of all deciding where I wanted to go with the business - setting short and long term goals and then the direction to go for it. I achieved many goals.
The thing that made me realize I needed coaching was I wasn't 100% happy, had the world at my feet but still that something was not quite right. I decided I needed help to bring it all out of me and to face my fears!! I could not have done that without Terry-Lyn's help.
Meri – Business Owner (Fire Up Business Coaching Program)
I first had the opportunity to work with Terry-Lyn as a sponsored employee to develop my managerial skills. After many years in business I didn’t think there would be too much more to learn but I had never focused and resourced my own style and found that I could be a lot more effective. Planning and communication was my big growth area.
I am now able to define, articulate and achieve more business outcomes with less stress.
Terry-Lyn has allowed me to change from being a dreamer into a doer. I have, since beginning coaching, been able to define what is important to me. I have cleaned up my house and my time management. I have changed careers. I am much more resourceful and adaptable to all situations. I wake up each morning knowing there is something I WANT to do today.
Ann - Eastcoast Generators (Fire Up Individual Coaching Program)
I decided to attend the business coaching program through Terry-Lyn. Being that if I wanted to stay in the Hairdressing industry at a much more professional level I needed some assistance on how to achieve a much more efficient and professional run business. After attending the first two sessions I decided to sign up for the rest of the programme because of the benefit those first two sessions gave me.
When I first started business coaching I was working in the business five to six days a week. By the end of the sessions I was working in the salon four days a week and allocated one day to work on the business from home, which has benefited my personal life and business practice ten fold.Within the first year of participating in the programme my business has grown 38% on the previous year, that’s with me only in the salon four days a week.
I now have new goals in place that I will achieve, to help me do so I decided to hire Terry-Lyn as a business coach. I believe with her assistance and professionalism I will achieve this at a quicker and smoother relaxed pace.
I would highly recommend Terry-Lyn as a business coach to anybody in any field wanting to take their business to the next level. It is so much easier when you speak to somebody that’s walked that path and is highly motivated in individuals with the inspiration on building their business for a much healthier and better way of life.
Michael – Business Owner (Fire Up Business Coaching Program)
After 8 years with the same company it was time to find a new role with a new employer. I had a few ideas as to what I wanted in the next job, although needed guidance. Months went by before I approached Terry at FIRE UP coaching. We worked through ideas and set goals that I could work towards. It forced me to become focused on the process of finding a job. I realised the importance of exploring the many avenues necessary in finding the right work place. The one-on-one sessions empowered me to 'keep at it' even when it appeared that nothing was eventuating.
During my coaching sessions, Terry-Lyn guided me through the program, introducing concepts I would not have otherwise explored. I was able to use the lines of thinking, to not only achieve the goals of the sessions, but to continue using the techniques in everyday life.
I have found many successes from the coaching sessions and my satisfaction level has been paramount. I would recommend this coaching program to those who need help with finding clarity, direction and motivation during times of change in your life.
Melinda – Monash University (Fire Up Individual Coaching Program)
I would love to thank you for the past 9 months of your time and help. Before I was recommended to you I was feeling out of control with my life in almost every aspect of it.
I was having trouble in my relationship with my partner, and I told you I wanted to feel in love again and have better communication, and now I do! In fact our relationship has taken on a whole new level, one I thought was never possible.
I needed help with my relationship with my children, I was feeling so emotional all the time and lashing out at them, now I feel so focused and calm which reflects in their behaviour. I feel like a great mum now, and at last, in control.
Karen - (Fire Up Individual Coaching Program)
Ella + Friends are a photographic business aimed at providing the highest standards in quality and service in the baby and family portraiture business.
We employed Terry-Lyn Stevens of Fire Up coaching as a coach to help start up our business and achieved specific goals over a very aggressive and limited time frame. With our limited experience in business, we felt it very advantageous to employ Terry-lyn for her coaching and business experience to help us achieve our desired goals.
Our objectives, as decided by both Terry-Lyn and the business were to:
- set financial goals to ensure a profitable business.
- build a strong client base to help us achieve our financial goals
- develop marketing strategies to achieve our financial goals.
- achieve an overall objective of opening the Ella + Friends studio
I am very pleased to say that we achieved all of these objectives and continue to use Terry-Lyn’s strategies going forward. I have no hesitation in recommending her to my fellow collages and friends. Terry-Lyn’s coaching style is very supportive and cooperative - we found this to be essential is helping us achieve our objectives. Our regular coaching sessions allowed us to stay on track and continuing refine our approach to ensure that we reached our desire outcomes.
Tom Putt - Ella & Friends - Business Owner (Fire Up Business Coaching Program)
We are a fast developing company and our employee base has quadrupled over the last two years. We have faced the usual problems that are associated with employing staff. We hired Terry-Lyn to coach us in developing skills in how to employ, criteria by which to employ and to set systems for reviewing existing employee roles.
She has brought to us some great foundational skills, which we have been able to implement. As part of her Fire-Up Coaching program we have had on going sessions of coaching on a variety of subjects. With her direction and through her guidance, she has enabled us to confidently and professional employee staff and maintain a professional but friendly atmosphere within our organization.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Terry-Lyn Stevens to organizations that look to improving the Human Resources area of their business.
Dayle – Business Owner (Fire Up Business Coaching Program)
I have been very happy with Terry-Lyn’s performance as my coach as well as the professional manner in which she has conducted each of my sessions.
My reasons for taking on a coach was I am a new small business owner who needed someone to report to in regards to my business visions and goals. I needed to start working on my business, instead of always working in my business. I needed timelines to commit to, to achieve my goals both business and personal. I was inspired by what Terry-Lyn had to offer and felt that I was at a point in my life where this sort of program could help.
I can highly recommend Terry-Lyn Stevens as a coach.
Her ability to ask thoughtful and challenging questions is amazing. When ever I felt stuck or thought I had gone as far as I could go, she was able to trigger thoughts that enabled me to think outside my comfort zone.
Amanda - Business Owner (Fire Up Business Coaching Program)
I appointed Terry-Lyn Stevens as my coach, the reasons I appointed Terry-Lyn was to help me gain clarity, focus and a clear direction in my work life. During this time I have found a clarity and focus in my work that up until now, had eluded me.
The success of the coaching is evident in my business today. I have a new found confidence to deal with certain situations, as well as the ability to “chunk down” when I feel overwhelmed, this is the greatest benefit for me.
I would like to add that in my eyes a great coach has the ability to draw out ones inner most thoughts, ones vision for their own life and answers to questions one may have from time to time. Terry-Lyn has certainly helped me in this process and has the uncanny ability to make this process smooth and inspiring.
After each session, I find myself re-energized and re-focused ready to face any challenge. I would not only recommend Terry-Lyn as a coach, I actually encourage those around me to seek out coaching if they wish to take the next level.
