Welcome to Gozar.

Gozar was founded by Maria Teresa Shephard, a certified teacher with a background in psychology and tenure in Tech. Here's a letter from the founder:

​

"First, you've come to the right place. Whether you stumbled across my business, or you sought advising intentionally - I'm glad you're here. I want you to know before you read any further: I am not your stereotypical minimalist, nor is this your average consulting company. 

​

The work I do is elimination based. What does that mean? Simply put, it means I help you identify what is in your way so we can get rid of it, both literally and figuratively. With me specifically, this can look like a few things:

1. Professional Consulting

   • Reducing miscommunication and ineffective feedback.

   • Building your digital toolbox for operational excellence.

   • Curating your go-to strategies for thought leadership & influence.

   • Writing the narrative of your personal brand in the workplace.

   • Developing meaningful relationships at, and with, work. 

2. Personal Coaching

   • Redefining the relationship between productivity and identity.

   • Decoupling "stuff" and self-worth.

   • Uncovering distractions that diminish fulfillment. 

   • Reframing expectations to yield attainable goals.

   • Decolonizing success to map out your actual priorities. 

​

It sounds intimidating; I know. That's why I'm here. I'll get you through processes you thought were too difficult or daunting to confront by yourself.

​

I'm truly looking forward to working with you. Let's do the damn thing.

​

Sinceramente,

MT"
