I’m Terri Wilson, and I founded Doing HR Differently to challenge the status quo of how organizations think about people, performance, and growth.
After decades in entrepreneurial ventures and executive leadership roles, I kept seeing the same patterns: businesses chasing performance without building the systems to enable and sustain it—and overlooking how their internal ecosystem was shaping (or stalling) results.
In January 2018, I stepped away from a corporate executive role and began exploring my next chapter: another corporate opportunity or launching my consulting business. The pull toward creating something of my own—something different—was strong.
But the timing wasn’t quite right. I accepted another executive role in December 2018, putting my vision on hold. When I exited that role in August 2021, I knew it was time. In January 2022, Doing HR Differently LLC officially launched!
I get that question all the time! For me, Doing HR Differently isn’t really “different”—it’s just how I naturally approach the world of business and people. I don’t see HR as limited to one department. If there are people involved, there’s work to be done, and that’s where I show up.
Too often, HR gets boxed in as just a “must-have” function that’s always playing catch-up. But when it’s done right, HR can actually drive growth in a big way. It should be agile, creative, and woven into how you lead and grow your business—not something off to the side.
At Doing HR Differently, we focus on the three areas that power every business:
We don’t do one-size-fits-all anything. We listen. We co-create.
We build scalable, people-powered solutions that fuel business performance and unlock your next level of growth. Whether you’re evolving as an organization, a team, or a leader—we help you do the work that drives results.
As a corporate executive and consultant, I’ve supported organizations across a wide range of industries, including:
No matter the industry or organization, one thing is true: business is always changing, and people are naturally complex. The best solutions? They are built together through alignment and collaboration. In our experience, HOW you get there matters just as much as WHAT you accomplish.
We empower people and accelerate business by partnering with executive teams to build future-ready organizations through workplace consulting, leadership development, and team collaboration. Our work is bold, people-centered, and built for impact—so businesses can lead smarter, move faster, and grow stronger.
Our values guide every engagement from how we lead conversations to how we deliver.
We align people strategy with business goals—so organizations scale sustainably without losing their soul.
Complexity stalls progress. We cut through the noise and deliver clear, actionable solutions that work.
Trust isn’t a talking point—it’s how we work. We show up with honesty, deliver with purpose, and build lasting partnerships.
We don’t fear change—we fuel it. Growth happens when leaders and teams adapt, evolve, and execute.
The strongest solutions are built through alignment, trust, and collaboration. Because in our experience, HOW you lead the work matters just as much as WHAT you achieve.
Doing HR Differently is intentionally built to evolve—just like the organizations we serve.
As business needs shift, we adapt. We partner with bold leaders who are ready to align their people with their purpose—and want a trusted ally to walk alongside them, challenge their thinking, and help build what’s next.
