Reflect. Refine. Act.

Bringing insight and action steps to business owners and professionals through assessment-based leadership programs and coaching.

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.

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."

"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!"

"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."
