Meet Your Instructor:
Teresa B. Cyrus
Certified Skills Instructor | Microsoft MVP | Founder, TRACCreations4e, LLC

I was where you are, figuring things out on the fly while juggling tasks, deadlines, and unfamiliar tech. My career started in IT, but I stepped back early on. At the time, tech wasn’t accessible to everyone, and the hours pulled me away from family. So I pivoted into executive administrative support — not because I gave up on tech, but to stay close to it while staying present for those who mattered most.
Over the years, I became the go-to problem solver and new application advocate. I used whatever tools I had to simplify the work — reports, emails, calendars, you name it. That blend of empathy, curiosity, and resourcefulness became the foundation of how I teach today. I share the solutions, best practices, and limitations which save users’ time and frustration.
By 2014, I returned to IT full-time as a Technical Trainer and Analyst. I wasn’t just showing people where to click, I was helping them reclaim their confidence and workflows with tools like Outlook, OneNote, PowerPoint, and any other Microsoft 365 applications.
The 4E Framework was born from these moments — not in theory, but in the real world, standing beside people in the exact moment they said, “Ohhh, now I get it.”
My training sessions are practical, supportive, and engaging. I cheer them on when someone gets it, and I build space for questions and growth. Because when people feel confident using their tools, they stop surviving and start thriving.
In 2021, I founded TRACCreations4e to bring it all together — my tech training, business roots, and a framework that adapts to how people actually work.
I look forward to assisting you with your upskilling journey.

The 4E Framework

The 4E Framework is the foundation of how I learn and train end users—practical, flexible, and grounded in how people actually use technology. It helps learners go from overwhelmed to in control by focusing on progress, not perfection. Whether you’re brand new to a tool or refining your daily processes, this approach meets you where you are and guides you toward lasting results.
