WAYS TO WORK WITH ME
With her diverse background in various spaces and fluency in Spanish, Terri-Karelle's clients know she can hold her own when it comes to handling industry topics and engaging attendees.
Never taking herself too seriously, she opts instead to vibe with her audience and let her authentic personality shine through. Prioritizing arriving early, communicating with the execution team, and truly getting to know her audience and the purpose of the event means she can adjust her approach to meet the desired objectives, whether the event is in person or remote.
As a speaker (whether in person or remotely), Terri-Karelle is known for combining her quirky wit and storytelling ability to create an inspiring, energetic and unforgettable experience. Because of this, she remains at the top of the list of sought-after speakers for corporate events, with a special focus on Career Pivot, Building Personal Brands through Brand Storytelling and Social Media, Modern Parenting and Women’s Empowerment. She was selected as the first Jamaican female to deliver a TEDx talk at Aston University in Birmingham, UK
It took Terri-Karelle 10 years of building her own brand, experimenting with content curation, various channels and building a large, loyal online community to figure out how digital platforms work and the role storytelling plays in establishing oneself as an expert or authority in an industry. Terri-Karelle's debut book, "My Brand Compass; The 13Cs To Build Your Personal Brand" teaches freelancers and small businesses how to build solid brands, create appealing profiles, enhance their professional reputation and brand excellence online.
Terri-Karelle facilitates workshops geared towards women, corporate groups and small businesses in the area of Leadership, Public Speaking, Influencer Marketing, Personal Branding and Leveraging Social Media as a Thought Leader. She interacts one-on-one with workshop participants whether in person or remotely. She meets the audience where they are comfortable, sharing her knowledge and experience in a humorous yet relatable, non-judgmental tone, filled with valuable underlying messages.
When she started hosting the popular television show, Digicel Rising Stars, for the first time back in 2011, Terri-Karelle had no idea that this would become a decade-long affair with television and media. However, she’s elated that it did, and has since worked with production crews all over the world hosted live streams, virtual town halls, and morning programmes thrilling audiences through the screen.
As a mother and entrepreneur with a keen sense of style, and an online community with over half a million members across her platforms, Terri-Karelle partners with brands that fit her lifestyle and core beliefs – like Toyota Jamaica, Bresheh or Bijoux – to help them reach a wider audience. Her insistence on only promoting brands she uses or supports, and her expertise in marketing, means having a brand advocate, sounding board and genuine fan, all in one.
Terri-Karelle believes in nation building and does her part by using her platform to bring attention to causes she cares about and collaborating with the organisations such as UNICEF, Office Of The Children's Advocate (OCA), Eve For Life, Children's Protection and Family Services Agency (CPFSA) and Jamaica Aids Support For Life (JASL) that support them. She’s most passionate about advocating for women’s development, at-risk youth and persons with disabilities.
