Coach Terri transformed me from an individual contributor to a true leader. I felt a positive change in myself, and so did the people I work with. She guided me through business situations by asking the most thought-provoking questions and providing me with the space and the time to find the answers. I feel extremely lucky to have her as my coach in my early career. I am calmer, more collected, and well-equipped with the right tools to navigate any tough business situation. I have a much better base and toolset to build upon. As I discover more hidden triggers with coach Terri, my potential is unlocked along with it. How lucky I am!
Did You Know?
In personal development, we often face an invisible inner barrier reminiscent of the infamous glass ceiling seen in the professional world. This “inner glass ceiling” limits our growth, caps our potential, and obstructively mediates our aspirations to live an internally and externally authentic life. The inner glass ceiling is a metaphor for the mental and emotional construct composed of early conditioning, fears, societal expectations, self-protection, and even self-imposed perceptions of our own potential. It inhibits us from realizing our true selves, sabotaging our attempts to live a life that is a true reflection of our values and beliefs.
One common manifestation of this internal barrier is the gap between our “inner intention” and our “external actions.” We all have internalized narratives and expectations that dictate what we should be doing, how we should behave, and what roles we should fill. These ‘shoulds’ are often inconsistent with what we want deep inside. The result is a life lived in response to the expectations of others or societal norms rather than our true desires and values.
Breaking Through the Inner Glass Ceiling™ is designed to empower women to confront and overcome their unique inner glass ceiling. It mines the gaps to foster personal growth, authenticity, and resilience while providing them with the tools to navigate life’s challenges in alignment with their true selves.

Some Common Inner Glass Ceiling Themes Women Experience
In my years of training and coaching women, I have found some themes that come up quite a bit. However, this is not linear, and each person’s inner glass ceiling is more of a unique constellation of experiences and interpretations. These interpretations are shaped by the authority figures in our lives and our cultures’ traditions; we then adapt in the outer world to these dynamics in order to fit in and be loved.
The Inner Glass Ceiling™ is constructed in a gradual way, usually outside of our awareness. Here are just a few of the common themes that have come up in my coaching and training programs. Remember, you are unique. Our goal is to identify and make the invisible visible, not label.
The Everything Woman
Putting everyone else's needs first and ignoring your own.
Holding Back
This can manifest as not asking for your needs to be met or expressing your unique POV.
Fear of Conflict
If you constructed a role to be the peacemaker in relationships, fear of conflict can be a trigger.
Pleasing
Believing we have to please everyone making it difficult to prioritize personal boundaries.
Internalized Misogyny
This can manifest as not asking for your needs to be met or expressing your unique POV.
Ruminating
Worrying that one has it right can manifest as constantly reworking and rethinking.
Living Small
The voices around us unconsciously influence the life we should be living. Some are in our best interest, and some are not.
Tolerating Ambiguity
When we don't understand our internal blueprint, change can be fearful and can challenge our blueprint, creating inner conflict.
Not Celebrating Your Uniqueness
The desire to "fit in" can eclipse the willingness, and the courage it takes, to step into a unique set of gifts and talents.
The contents of the Inner Glass Ceiling™ are learned behaviors that can be unlearned.
Breaking Through Your Inner Glass Ceiling™
Over eight weeks, I’ll guide you in gaining more awareness of your inner glass ceiling—releasing what holds you back from your limitless potential and transforming into the powerful, confident woman you want to be. Through a combination of live workshops, online content and exercises, live Q&A calls, and lots of support, we’ll explore the fundamentals of the Inner Glass Ceiling™, create a map of your unique constellation of worries and beliefs that compete with your stated goals, and identify practical steps you can use right away.
By the end of the program, you’ll be able to recognize and understand your unique Inner Glass Ceiling™, effectively use strategies to overcome challenges when triggered, cultivate self-compassion while experimenting with new behaviors, nurture your inner resilience, and harness the power of continuous learning to live an authentic and fulfilled life in alignment with your deepest values and aspirations.

A Research-Based Approach
As a corporate Leadership and Organizational Development professional, Terri Altschul was accustomed to offering best-in-class programs. She was often confused by how difficult it was for program participants to sustain their desired change. Year after year, participants would show up after their programs, asking for support on “the same old feedback.” Then, in 2010, she discovered Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey of Harvard and their ground-breaking work “The Immunity to Change™.” She first went through this program as a participant and found herself deeply affected by what she learned and the implications of this work for her clients. She then became a Certified Facilitator and Coach and has finally found a proven process that can sustain the long-lasting change many people desire.
Additionally, Terri has studied with the Gestalt Institute and Karen Horney‘s work on communication. She is a Certified Integral Coach and is steeped in Jungian principles of the Self and the Shadow.
This program is not just a collection of research. It is an experiential and a practical application of it. It is designed to be highly effective and relevant, incorporating what I have learned by coaching and training thousands of women.
Within minutes of engaging with Terri, I knew she would be a great personal advocate while pushing me to advance my leadership skills and career objectives. Terri has a great capacity to understand what is required to motivate and guide you in the moment, while coaxing you to expand your own voice. She can tap into a wide range of techniques, some honed over years of experience in corporate settings, and some acquired from her own experiences.
Working with Terri is engaging in honest, open, and meaningful conversations that expand and create a vision of what’s possible. I gave myself a wonderful gift when we started our program; she’s living proof of the power of women joining together in intentional conversations, supporting each others’ goals, and expecting the best of one another.
What You'll Learn and Experience
Each month, Terri will provide live coaching, training, and support on one of the modules. By the end of each call, you’ll have received personalized support and guidance to address the content of your Inner Glass Ceiling. (Calls are currently scheduled for Tuesdays at 2:00 pm EST, from January 14th, 2025 through June 10th. Due to the American Thanksgiving holiday, we won’t have a call on November 26th.)
Program Kick-Off
The first module of “Breaking Through the Inner Glass Ceiling™” will give you an in-depth introduction to the program’s core activities and objectives, setting the foundation for your growth journey. You are encouraged to connect and get to know each other better, creating a greater sense of safety and vulnerability.
Module 1: Mapping the Invisible Barrier
We start strong in this as you create a map of your inner glass ceiling using the profound Immunity to Change™ technology. In this session, you’ll discover the unique challenge in your Inner Glass Ceiling™ and uncover behaviors that sabotage your stated goals, competing commitments, core fears, and assumptions about the consequences if your worst fears are realized.
Module 2: Unleashing Your Minds Potential
In this module, you’ll create a one-year Progress Plan by incorporating data from (1) a timeline of your Inner Glass Ceiling™ and (2) data you gather about the impact of your Inner Glass Ceiling™ through self-observations and feedback from others. This plan will incorporate milestones for your journey, including self-care.
Module 3: From Default Reactions to Choiceful Responses
In this module, you’ll learn about the default responses programmed into your nervous system, identifying the hooks and triggers that keep the Inner Glass Ceiling™ out of your awareness. You’ll design carefully crafted experiments to meet those automated responses in the moment and turn them into choiceful actions. As we progress, these strategies will lead you to rewrite your narratives and see results in real time.
Module 4: Anchoring Into Core Values
Sustaining the change of Breaking the Inner Glass Ceiling™ requires us to have the inner resources to anchor ourselves when we’re thrown off balance. One powerful technique to do this is by anchoring into your core values. This can mean when making choices that deviate from external expectations, you can feel confident and grounded in your choices. You’ll take an assessment to identify the rank order of your core values and identify those values you need to develop to support your continued transformation process.
Module 5: The Fear Response in Communication
In this module, you’ll discover how the way you speak and communicate reflects your Inner Glass Ceiling™. It will equip you with the necessary tools to work with fear-based triggers and fight/flight responses so that you will communicate more effectively, even in the face of your worst fear. This rich module will expand your options for meeting and handling personal challenges, better-resolving issues/conflicts, and facilitating issue/conflict resolution.y
Module 6: Connecting to Your True Self
The Inner Glass Ceiling™ manifests as a “created” self in the outer world. It is the self we constructed as children that we believed we needed to be in order to be accepted, understood and loved. This created self is disconnected from our true self, where our deepest desires and innate gifts reside. In this module, we will focus on how you can maintain the connection with your true self through self-compassion and self-care. We honor and appreciate all the parts of ourselves.
All I can say is wow! Terri has a gift for helping women discover their inner power through a fun and creative mechanism of exploration. It is evident from the moment you step into her workshop that you are in expert hands! Terri is a compassionate instructor and coach who cares about each individual attendee and strives to guide them toward their own respective stories of empowerment that fuel them for the continued journey ahead. If you have been contemplating Terri’s programs, then contemplate no more – sign up today and prepare to be profoundly impacted.
Terri is a premier trainer, facilitator, coach, and designer. One of Terri’s greatest strengths is her ability to truly listen and adapt “in the moment” to ensure superlative quality. I have known Terri for over twenty years. She is always growing professionally and personally. She is “the gold standard’ in coaching and learning.
Terri is an incredibly skilled and insightful coach. She equipped me with the tools and insight, while providing the right amount of guidance for me to discover my intrinsic motivation. We then mapped out my career trajectory based on those motivators. I learned a lot about myself, navigating difficult professional situations, and capitalizing on my own strengths. One of the most fruitful things we worked on was analyzing and strengthening positive characteristics I measured low on, which I wasn’t even aware of prior to coaching. I highly recommend Terri to any professional woman looking to grow in her career, gain more insight into what drives you, and/or to navigate challenging professional situations.
