TESTIMONIALS

Tania's coaching is transformative. She truly focuses on guiding her coachees to step into their own power.

Working with her as my coach for 3+ years pushed me to become a more confident, intentional, and effective leader. In our sessions she would balance getting me to trust my own solutions and abilities with challenging any mindsets or beliefs that were not serving me. Tania also has a wealth of tools and resources that are incredibly helpful and complement her coaching. I am a better leader and human because of working with Tania, and I know anyone that has the opportunity to be coached by her will be forever grateful!

Marisa R.

| Senior leader at national college completion organization

I have grown the most from this coaching experience than any other professional development that I've participated in over the almost 20 years of my career.

What made the biggest difference is that I was able to develop according to my own values, priorities, personality rather than fitting myself into a prescribed role or expectation that someone else set for me. I used to say that everyone needs a good dentist and a good mechanic in their lives, but now I’ll add that everyone needs a good Tania.

Tania has been truly transformational to my leadership development as an Executive Director and beyond.

In addition to the coaching, tools, and resources she’s provided to help bring structure and clarity to my days, she’s become one of my most trusted and valued thought partners as I navigate organizational wins and challenges of all sizes. Because of Tania’s highly personalized coaching, I have been able to honestly and authentically work to define my leadership ethos and leave each session anxiously awaiting our next meeting.

| Manager of Talent & Human Resources, Kesem

Tania is a patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate coach.

I worked with Tania for a year while leading the human resources function and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts for a non-profit. She provided guidance on specific projects but went a step further, building my knowledge, experience, and confidence in the position, helping me to trust my gut and execute my ideas. Each session with Tania was enlightening and enjoyable, and I am certain she has made me a stronger HR and DEI professional.

Danielle P.

| Nonprofit HR leader

Tania has been an absolutely incredible coach.

She empowers me to find my unique value as a leader, guides me through specific challenges, and supports me as I navigate complicated projects and relationships. I’ve had some really tricky hurdles to jump this past year and she’s been with me every step of the way. I know I have a much stronger foundation with her at my side.
