My Mission
High-achieving professionals often find themselves held back from their full potential not by lack of skill or motivation, but by the mental barriers that create self-doubt, overwhelm, or hesitation. I specialize in helping driven individuals identify and break through these internal roadblocks so they can fully step into their career potential. With over 25 years of experience guiding professionals toward clarity, resilience, and confidence, I provide the tools and strategies they need to push past limitations and accelerate their growth. My mission is to empower leaders and goal-oriented professionals to move beyond “stuck” and into a place of authentic success.
“I have witnessed Teonna empower and inspire people in her leadership role with the Girl Scouts for almost 10 years. Her supportive attitude empowered the girls to focus and achieve their goals."

Teonna'S Talks

Empowerment!
The Success Mindset:
Powering through doubt, fear, and overwhelm to reach your full potential
High achieving professionals often look like they have it all together–but behind the scenes, many struggle with invisible barriers like self-doubt, overwhelm, or fear of failure. These mental blocks silently sabotage confidence, performance, and career growth. In this engaging and practical presentation, Teonna Wilber, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Professional Speaker, Entrepreneur, and Leader, draws on her over 25 years of experience to reveal the hidden ways our mindset can hold us back–and how to break free.
Through real-world strategies and empowering insights, Teonna helps professionals identify their own roadblocks, reframe limiting beliefs, and build the mental resilience needed to thrive. Attendees will walk away with practical tools to push past “stuck,” unlock their potential, and step confidently into authentic success.
Achievement!
Sustainable Trauma Care:
Practical strategies for preventing compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma
Healthcare providers, first responders, mental health providers, child welfare and probation professionals, and law enforcement professionals including judges, probation officers, attorneys, and other professionals who work with traumatized individuals are at high risk for vicarious trauma, burn-out, and compassion fatigue, often impacting their careers and personal lives. Without intentional strategies, the very empathy that makes us effective can erode our resilience and well-being.
This session explores practical, evidence-based approaches to engaging in trauma work without absorbing the trauma ourselves. Participants will learn how to recognize early signs of secondary trauma, apply boundaries that support sustainability, and implement protective factors. Emphasis will be placed on cultivating resilience, sustaining empathy with healthy limits, and fostering professional practice that is both compassionate and sustainable. Attendees will leave with actionable tools to strengthen their capacity to effectively work with trauma while maintaining their own health and balance.
