MEET TEDDI
I’ve spent nearly 30 years trying to understand one thing: people.
Why we do what we do. Why we misunderstand each other. Why smart people get stuck.
And what changes when we see something we couldn't see before.
I’ve spent my career sitting with people, teaching them, working alongside them, and standing in front of rooms talking about the stuff that makes being human complicated. And after all these years, I’m still fascinated by how differently two people can experience the exact same thing.
That’s where The Missing Perspective™ began.
THE EXPERIENCE BEHIND THE PERSPECTIVE
I didn’t learn this from one side of the desk.
For three decades, I’ve worked with with people across counseling, psychology, higher education, career and life development, coaching, and professional training.
Across all of it, I’ve worked with people trying to navigate relationships, work, conflict, decisions, change—and themselves.
I’ve also trained in tools like CliftonStrengths, MBTI, and the Strong Interest Inventory. They’ve given me different ways of looking at people, but no single assessment, theory, or framework tells the whole story.
Different rooms. Different people. Same thing underneath all of it: human beings trying to understand themselves and each other.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
I’m not here to tell you what to think.
I’m here to help you see what you might be missing.
I’ll ask questions. I’ll challenge assumptions. And I’ll probably notice something you haven’t considered yet.
Sometimes I’ll agree with you. Sometimes I won’t. Either way, I’m not interested in helping you prove who’s right. I’m interested in understanding what’s actually happening well enough to figure out what comes next.
I’m warm. I’m direct. I use humor. And I believe people are usually more complicated than the stories we’ve built about them.
You don’t need someone else to think for you.
Sometimes you just need another perspective.
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
Maybe you don’t need more advice.
Maybe you need another perspective.
If something has you stuck, we can look at it together. And if you’re looking for a workshop, training, or conversation that gets people seeing things differently, I do that too.
