Teresa Gregory

Teresa L. Gregory is an Amazon best-selling author, leadership strategist, keynote speaker, and executive coach who helps professionals make the leap from doing great work to leading great people.

Her work centers on one question: why do so many talented people get promoted into leadership and then struggle, and what does it take to close that gap?

With more than 20 years of experience across HR, finance, corporate training, and entrepreneurship, Teresa has seen leadership from every angle. At Microsoft, she designed the Standards of Business Conduct training, a required course for every employee worldwide, and created sales training for employees and partners around the globe. As the founder of Squared Success, she has coached leaders across industries, from emerging managers to seasoned executives. She is also a certified NLP Practitioner, which shapes how she helps leaders communicate, influence, and build trust.

Teresa’s leadership doesn’t stop at the office. As a school board director and Girl Scout troop leader, she puts her principles to work in her community, whether that means guiding big decisions or helping young girls find their confidence. Those roles are behind her core belief: great leaders aren’t born. They’re made through intentional skill-building, self-awareness, and a commitment to growth.

Her books turn that belief into practical, straightforward strategies that leaders at every level can use right away.

A lifelong learner, Teresa loves exploring new places with family and friends, and she’s always picking up something new along the way.
