Your reputation speaks volumes about your success as a business owner, job performance, and leadership effectiveness. Why? Because it's others who decide to do business with you, hire you, promote you, or let you go.

Are you aware of how others perceive you on a daily basis, especially in times of stress? Are you effectively influencing others as a leader, or fostering an entrepreneurial mindset within your team as a business owner? Many individuals strive for career success, yet lack self-awareness in their daily interactions and under pressure. Coaching can enhance career effectiveness and overall satisfaction by addressing these areas.

We believe in an
assessment-based approach to leadership coaching.

  • Revitalize your passion for what you do​
  • Gain a holistic perspective of yourself as a leader
  • Impact your organization's bottom line

Meet the founder

Tanya Zinn Jones, M.Ed., ACC, CMT

For over two decades, I dedicated myself to enhancing student outcomes within Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), a prominent district in Northern Virginia. Transitioning from teaching to leadership roles, I honed a passion for fostering organizational well-being and personalized development for educators and students alike. Inspired by thought leaders like Elena Aguilar, I explored whole-being coaching strategies to empower hard-working frontline educators.

Now, as an ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC), I extend my expertise to corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, and individuals seeking innovative approaches to their growth. I’m actively involved in fostering professional learning for fellow coaches through the International Coaching Federation DC Metro chapter. Additionally, I contribute to the Women in Business Committee of the Tysons Corner Tower Club, my local Rotary, and volunteer with Catch-a-Fire, an organization devoted to connecting non-profits with skilled volunteers.

Alongside Warren Jones, I co-own Keppler Speakers, the nation’s premier speaker agency. Interacting with influential figures across various fields is enriching, but it’s our dedicated and vibrant team that truly makes our work rewarding.

On any given weekend, you might find me at my local Neuhaus chocolate shop, at a favorite Virginia winery, or visiting family in Charlottesville. I’m an avid enthusiast of live performances, golf, and the beauty of Zinnias, while also embracing new hobbies like video gaming with my family.

Client Testimonials

"I was able to quickly and effectively prepare for important meetings and decisions. Tanya was very focused and made strong efforts to focus me (not easy). She helped me summarize and create action plans for completing a task or initiating a project that was pressing. Tanya is a strong coach with skills in self assessment, emotional intelligence, goal setting, priority setting, and supervision."
Bob DendyCEO, HumanKind
"I can’t say enough about my positive experience with Tanya! She is calm, focused, patient, and optimistic. She is committed to ensuring her coaching clients meet their goals by helping develop manageable, incremental steps and providing tireless support and encouragement along the way. She is very attentive to client struggles and concerns and provides steady guidance throughout her engagements.

Tanya is an incredible coach and cheerleader for anyone looking to tackle challenges in his/her life!"
Bethany FischerGovernment Attorney-Adviser
"Throughout the coaching process, Tanya was able to help me realize that some of the barriers to being the most effective leader I could be were deeper than needing to “strengthen skills.” I was able to evaluate what was important to me, and what I needed to be my best self in my professional and personal life."
