Change is here. Make the most of it.

Embrace disruption with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Disruption brings opportunities to reevaluate.

Times of disruption—whether personal, professional, or global—can feel unsettling, but they also hold incredible opportunities for transformation. When familiar routines are shaken, we are forced to step back, reassess, and reimagine what’s possible. This is where real growth happens. As a coach, I help individuals turn uncertainty into a launchpad for positive change by clarifying what truly matters, identifying new possibilities, and creating a strategy to move forward with confidence. Instead of merely reacting to disruption, you can harness it to realign with your values, shift limiting beliefs, and design a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling. If you’re at a crossroads, now is the perfect time to take control of your next chapter—let’s turn this transition into an opportunity for something better.

We believe in a human to human approach to coaching.

Who We Work With

As a mission-driven individual, you may be a CEO, entrepreneur, or a non-profit leader,

The job title doesn’t matter.

In times of change, you want to invest in greater self-awareness, improved communication, enhanced relationships, and strengthened job performance for you and your team.

You’re passionate about learning and curious about what’s next.

You may want to talk about your "crazy idea" with a real person, and not an AI bot.

Services We Offer

Individual Coaching

Red Zinnia offers one-on-one coaching for those ready to assess their current impact, identify areas for growth, and implement an action plan for change. This could include life transition coaching to a new role, planning for a career change, or brainstorming about your "big idea" in a confidential way. Red Zinnia provides human conversations in a judgement free zone. We explore your "what ifs" confidentially. If appropriate, we may use and debrief self-assessment tools such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator™, Hogan Leadership Forecast, EQI-2.0, Entrepreneurial Mindset Profile (EMP), and Conflict Dynamics Profile (CDP) depending on your goals.

Team Workshops

If you're seeking ways to invest in your team and foster improved stress tolerance, stronger interpersonal relationships, empathy, and collaborative decision-making, a team workshop or group coaching may be supportive. Understanding emotional intelligence and identifying constructive or destructive behaviors during conflicts can empower your team. By analyzing team reports, trends emerge, providing valuable insights into team effectiveness and relationship management. Workshops include one-to-one coaching sessions and assessments with the team's supervisor, ensuring a comprehensive approach. Critical for success is a collaborative spirit and buy-in from team leadership about the value this approach will add. "With" not "to" is critical for maximum team value.

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."
