Your Next Stop with Juliet Hahn

Teri Schmidt is passionate about human connection and the leadership potential within each of us. She loves to develop individuals, teams, and organizations and has led multiple teams during her 20-year career. At JetBlue Airways, she led teams focused on using data to help employees excel on the job, facilitated professional development workshops, and coached leaders and individual contributors. In 2017, she founded Stronger to Serve, a nonprofit dedicated to making it easy for families to connect with needs in their communities while having fun and boosting their physical and emotional wellbeing. Eager to support working moms who excelled in many of the power skills necessary for success in today’s economy, she launched the Moms that Lead podcast in 2020. Through the podcast and associated leadership coaching, she helps women gain clarity, confidence, and connection so that they can share their unique talents in the workplace, community, and at home.

In this episode, you will learn the following:

  1. How Teri Schmidt went from being a math teacher to working in corporate America to starting a nonprofit to creating a podcast.
  2. What motivated Teri to leave her corporate career and start a nonprofit focused on helping families get active and volunteer together.
  3. How Teri's experience as a shy child led her to develop strong empathy skills.

You can find Teri on LinkedIn and check out her Podcast.

Remarkable Quote:

“I became very adept at understanding people's emotions and being the peacemaker. That has led to my strength of empathy, which has both benefits and drawbacks, because that can also lead you to be so sensitive to what people are thinking, that you worry too much about it."
