About Emily

As a graduate of both Cornell University and Harvard University, I bring a unique blend of academic expertise and real-world experience to my coaching practice. My passion for workplace wellness drives my commitment to helping individuals navigate career transitions, manage school applications, and achieve their professional and educational goals. With a compassionate, detail-oriented approach, I understand and appreciate diverse perspectives, allowing me to offer holistic support as clients work to balance academic aspirations, career development, and personal well-being. I hold a Master’s in Psychology from Harvard, where I conducted research on burnout, psychological coping, and resilience. My professional background spans leadership roles in healthcare and marketing, where I led initiatives empowering individuals and organizations to improve health, performance, and overall well-being. This experience complements my coaching approach, which focuses on creating actionable strategies for clients navigating career changes, advancing in their field, or pursuing higher education. Currently, I serve as the Sponsor & Fellow Outreach Manager at the Institute of Coaching, where I support coaching leaders and help them amplify their impact globally. Through both my coaching practice and my work at the Institute, I empower individuals to achieve their highest potential by combining evidence-based strategies with personalized support in the pursuit of their career and academic goals.

Why do I coach?

Coaching is important to me because I’ve seen the difference it can make in helping individuals find clarity, tackle challenges, and unlock their potential—whether it’s navigating career changes, applying for grad school, or managing stress. I’m passionate about using the principles of positive psychology to help people align their strengths and values with their goals, especially when it comes to their careers and personal development. Having a background in psychology and experience working in corporate settings, I know how complex these transitions can be. I coach because I believe that with the right mindset, tools, and strategies, anyone can improve their performance, reduce stress, and make meaningful progress toward their goals. Helping clients thrive in both their personal and professional lives is what drives me, and that’s why I’m dedicated to providing practical, research-backed support that leads to real, lasting change.

Work Experience

Certified Professional Coach

Emily Terrani Coaching

December 2021 - Present

As a Certified Professional Leadership & High-Performance Coach, I help my clients advance and excel in their careers, without sacrificing their well-being. I find that many people sacrifice their own wellness in the pursuit of success. I am here to help you uncover how stress-free success is possible. Workplace wellness is central to my coaching approach. Using science-based psychology and coaching techniques, I work with clients to make impactful changes so that they can achieve their desired career, health, and personal goals. My clients are those who are navigating a work or life transition, hoping to communicate more effectively, looking to advance in their career, feeling stuck or overwhelmed, or having other challenges where they don’t feel like they are performing at their best nor truly valued in their role. I utilize research-based coaching approaches that incorporate psychology, organizational development, leadership development, behavior change, and intuition to support my clients in achieving their goals and thriving. Based out of Long Island, New York, I am available for in-person, Zoom, and phone sessions.
