Christopher Terry, IM Mastery Academy Co-Founder and CEO, Emphasizes Emotional Intelligence
As the CEO and co-founder of IM Mastery Academy, Christopher Terry takes a unique approach to leadership. The Academy offers an online financial education platform, and while Terry emphasizes the importance of financial knowledge for those who want to engage in markets, he also stresses the importance of mindset and emotional intelligence. According to Christopher Terry, IM Mastery Academy’s goal is to provide students with flexible opportunities for financial education, as well as the opportunity to develop a more emotionally intelligent, self-aware perspective on how to participate in markets.
“If you assume you have something and you put the emotion behind it, that’s how you attract it. You have to put the emotion behind it. You have to have the feeling. When you have the feeling that you have it, then something important happens,” said Terry in a recent video. “You have to put the emotion behind what you want. You have to go all in emotionally. You have to get on that frequency. You have to do the work. You have to have that feeling and emotion of what it takes to be at that level.”
In his speeches at IM Mastery Academy events, Christopher Terry often makes a similar point: Personal empowerment comes from the combination of knowledge, emotional awareness, and a positive outlook toward one’s self-worth.
How Do Students Learn at Christopher Terry’s IM Mastery Academy?
Students at IM Mastery Academy study financial markets and strategies, with academies focusing on the foreign exchange (forex) market, the digital currency market, time-based market strategies, and e-commerce.
The academies consist of asynchronous materials such as videos and readings, along with the opportunity to apply and examine the information learned from these materials in live sessions with IM Mastery Academy educators through online video GoLive sessions.
When Christopher Terry founded IM Mastery Academy in 2013 along with co-founder and CFO Isis Terry, the goal was to introduce students to the power of financial education through easily accessible online materials. Beginning with a focus on the forex market, the Academy has continued to expand over the course of nearly a decade of operations. The company first expanded into other areas of financial education such as digital currencies and e-commerce, and it has now entered the travel and lifestyle space with the June 2022 launch of its Travel and Lifestyle Experience (TLX) membership program, which offers members access to discounts on hotels and resorts and the opportunity to take themed trips organized around financial education.
Throughout the expansion of IM Mastery Academy, Christopher Terry has maintained a focus on the importance of self-awareness and emotional attunement. His goal is to create an educational environment that allows students to learn at their own pace.
“When you bring somebody in, let them learn,” explained Terry in another video. “Give them value, and they will turn that value into hope, and then it becomes purpose, and then it becomes a passion.”
Financial Education and Emotional Intelligence
In providing students with online financial education resources and live mentorship opportunities, IM Mastery Academy is designed to combine self-motivated pursuit of knowledge with assistance from experienced educators.
This combination of knowledge and support is the foundation of the Academy’s approach. For Christopher Terry, IM Mastery Academy is about empowering others, as he explained recently on his Facebook page.
“2013, we started. Nine years later, we continue educating customers worldwide,” said Terry.
