Debashis Chatterjee
Senior Director of Software Engineering at Intel Corporation
"I recently completed a 9-month long group coaching for leadership at Intel, which also included 9 sessions of 1:1 coaching. Laurie Territo was my personal coach. In today's complex tech world we all need a mentor (tells you how to improve in your area), a sponsor (has an interest on your career and opens new doors for you or points you to opened doors), and a coach (tells you about your strengths and weaknesses and prepares you for your next journey through a newly opened door. I can't hope to get a better coaching than what I received from Laurie. On the right initiatives that I was hesitating on, she encouraged me to move forward. On the wrong approaches, she cautioned me about the pitfalls. She has been an executive coach at Intel for many years and she could, without disclosing details, relate my situations with similar ones that her coachees experienced and she provided additional insights through those experiences. Finally, she always has a smiling face, a positive attitude and a determination to uplift everyone around her. I hope she continues to scale new heights in her career as a leadership coach."
