Getting to know
Terry Winship
We’ve known Terry for a couple of years now. Terry is a true multipotentialite. She places emphasis on self-motivation and growth and has over the years started and run several diverse businesses, ranging from IT and training through to photography and hospitality. She has run a guesthouse in a remote location of South Africa, travelled the world for a year with her young daughter, created and delivered delicious Banting Ready-made Meals and more recently consolidated her extensive tech knowledge and aptitude into offering training on the most sought-after skills for the new digital economy.
For her, effective communication coupled with motivation and team building mean that she’s maintained some of her clients for more than 25 years. Key to her abilities is that she is able to produce under pressure while being flexible to suit client needs, and her hospitality awards and long-term IT clients bear testament to her strengths. Her guiding philosophy is a Buddhist term: Mudita, defined as “finding joy in the happiness and success of others”. Terry believes implicitly in the power of continuous learning and is passionate about uplifting people.
We are in awe of her natural agility and wealth of talents and gifts that she easily shifts between to offer her diverse mix of services to the world. Terry is a true example of a Change-Maker as she strives to empower others, adapting to the changing needs of the world and people around her.
We recently spent time with Terry to explore more about who she is and what inspires her.
