Life is a Grand Production
And when I say that, I do not mean “life is a complex series of trials to endure”.
Instead, I mean that engineering and manifesting your artful, intentional, meaningful, and joyous life – yes joyous, it can and must be joyous – can take a long time.
Like half your years on earth.
And that time can be gorgeous, productive, and generative.
“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.”
Your life is your stage.
Everything in your education, history, career and personal life has schooled you, deepened you, prepared you.
Your life, as it is now, has been the preparation – the production – needed to launch your next project. The project where you shine. Project You. Project Life, Well-Lived. Project Now.
The project where you lead with impeccable impact and your radiance lights up the world.
Because I know that for you, it isn’t all about you. Your starring role isn’t in The Me-Me-Me Show. Your mission – your life – is not a vanity project. It’s about creating and contributing to a better world by becoming a better person. By stepping into your most glorious, radiant, productive, purposeful self…and by using your life and your gifts to instigate change and instill joy.
For yourself and the world.
Move Into Magnificence
And that’s true for me, too. That’s what I do. That’s what I do for you.
I’m a Leadership Coach and I came to coaching after years and years in an outwardly successful but ultimately unsatisfying career in advertising. I logged the hours, delivered the goods and shook the hands of satisfied clients time and again. I kept waiting for the deep-seated feelings of accomplishment and satisfaction to arrive. They didn’t.
I also suffered, a lot, from a myriad of “not good enough, not smart enough, not ready” beliefs. Any success I enjoyed I chalked up to someone else having made a mistake. I thought it was just a matter of time before they found out I was a fake.
Turns out, I had been suffering from the Imposter Complex. (You too? You’re in exquisite company). I just couldn’t quite get out of the rut.
It took the passing of my mother to get me “unstuck”. After she left, I heard — really heard — her lifelong mantra for the first time:
Don’t Postpone Joy
So I didn’t. I got to work, digging deep, getting clear, getting certified, and giving back.
And embracing joy.
That journey – to embrace joy and live my fullest and most gloriously expansive life, and to empower you to do the same – has lit me up, personally and professionally. I know with radiant certainty what I’m here to do:
Bring shine back into your life. Period.
Help you overcome the Imposter Complex so that you can Own Your Authority.
Inspire Impeccable Impact and empower you to achieve it.
To do that – and help you do that, too – I’ve been studying the Imposter Complex, writing about it and speaking about it (at TEDxWomen). I’ve developed a bustling, effective one-on-one coaching practice and created transformative programs like Your Impeccable Impact and Board of Your Life.
Coach = Catalyst
What all of this means is that in the grand, artful production that is your life, I play a pivotal role in your cast of supporting characters…
…but I’m not your director or even your assistant director. I don’t tell you what to do. I don’t have an agenda for who you’ve got to be or what you’ve got to do or how your marvelous story will unfurl. My investment is in you, your vision and YOUR dreams. In you becoming your best you.
So I’m not your boss (you’re the boss of you!). I’m your coach. I’m the person who supports and encourages and inspires you to the heights to which you aspire. I’m the person who helps you clarify your purpose, gets you going and holds you accountable for realizing your vision. I’m your catalyst.
Because you are the star. This is your show. This is your grand production. This is your life.
Live it up. Light it up. Shine ICONICALLY.
Here’s how:
If you’re shadow-boxing with your intentions, mission, or even a micro-problem, a Spotlight Session can light your way to action.
If you’re ready to exit a career or life plateau and bust out into the land of MORE, one-on-one coaching will fuel your climb.
If you’re ready to lead with impeccable impact (and boy oh boy, do I think you’re ready), join me and the most incredible cast of characters to support your rising star. (Schedule a Discovery Session with me.)
If you’re an industry leader on a mission to give your a team an action shot of empowerment, corporate workshops deliver moxy, motivation…and results.
If you need a polished, podium-free speaker driven by audience engagement, I’ve got presentations to illuminate your stage and your people.
If you’re thirsty for an intoxicating brew of dreaming + doing, I’ve mixed you a free cocktail. My blog is a heady blend of change-making resources, reflections, tips and techniques. Drink deeply, often.
Those are the scripts, prompts and programs I’ve created for you to practice joy, prepare to shine…and launch your grand production.
Life, starring you.

“I now have the courage to think bigger, knowing I have all the tools and skills needed to become the solution. And the impact will be one of sincere human connection (personally) and COLLECTIVE transformation (professionally). I now feel that the future and direction of my leadership is leading me to a destination that is assured.”
-CERISE S.
"I love a lot of things about Tanya, but my very favorite is how she both demands (with love), and inspires EXCELLENCE. She sees and understands greatness and ability in me that I don't even see yet. Her laser intuition and ability to ask the questions I need the answers to is unparalleled — and I say that as someone who's worked with a lot of people whose job it is to do that. Every conversation with her leaves me feeling both held and challenged in the best possible ways. She is a gem.”
-Elizabeth DiAlto, Founder of the Institute for EMBODIED Living + Creator of Wild Soul Movement
“I've been surprising myself with how much trust I'm offering to the process. When resistance arises, I'm looking at it, dealing with it, and it always circles back to one of the 12 lies of the Imposter Complex. Brilliant, timeless, universal. Extending my most sacred and sincere thank you to you for visioning, creating, and offering this beautiful work.”
-JANE REEVES
“Tanya: HUGE thank you for this last arc of coaching!! It was everything! I was just running my numbers for the first 6 months of this year, and I've already 10x'd my coaching business compared to ALL of 2019!!! WOOHOO!! How's that for results?!”
-TRICIA BOLENDER
“Thank you for meeting me there with all you’re offering: superb content, coaching, and community. I can’t say I’ve ever done a program and remained so engaged throughout. Like most people, I have a backlog of those programs I somehow never finish, but this one feels very different, very experiential.”
-URSULA JORCH
“I’m so grateful we had our session when we did… this is the first time in my adult career where I am not plagued by Imposter Complex. Of course, there’s more to learn, but I am here for it and know what I can bring.”
- MARIE POULIN
“Tanya's coaching helped me identify that I wasn't excited about continuing along the track I was on. She challenged me to start writing the book that I had been dreaming of, but putting off far into the future. Your Impeccable Impact had me taking a massive jump from the track I was on, to another track on a much higher level. It helped me see that I was ready to write the Tiny Acts of Courage book. Your Impeccable Impact helped me to identify the blocks that would try and get in my way, to dream big, and to build the mindset to deliver that dream.”
-OLIVIA MITCHELL
“Before I signed up for the Your Impeccable Impact program, I was not actively planning anything for my business. I was in neutral. In talking with Tanya, I realized I wanted to carry on, that I was neglecting my gifts, and that I was not holding myself in reverence. Now, I know that I will be the source of my inspiration of my joy for my life, business, and leadership. I will know my boundaries and practice Dynamic Self-Compassion, safeguarding, animating, and sustaining my purpose. It feels powerful, effective, doable. Success is not whether I give this retreat or that, speak here or there, it is how I approach everything as a Compassionate Powerhouse which is my Radiant Essence. I feel more confident in making asks. I have tools to use to remind me that the doubt that shows up can't compare to what I have already done. I can trust my decisions and can stand behind them making sure they align with my values.”
-PAMELA VAN NEST
“Tanya's teaching on the Imposter Complex has radically transformed not only me, but an entire community of 10,000+ copywriters and marketers.
Tanya's helped all of us writers make sense of our insecurities and so-called 'weaknesses', while also empowering us to see new opportunities in our struggles.
Not only have I witnessed Tanya's positive impact on the copywriting community firsthand, I've also relied heavily on Tanya's expertise, leadership, intuition, and joyful energy to help me deal with my own Imposter Complex and insecurities (hello, people-pleasing and comparisonitis!) while I move into new stages in my business... and life.
You know how you're told that you're better off NOT meeting your heroes?
Well, when it comes to Tanya, that couldn't be further from the truth. Tanya walks her talk and is a lesson to me and all of us about what leadership can be in the 21st century.
I love this woman. Give her a chance, and you'll love her, too.”
-KIRA HUG
“I am astounded by this woman. Tanya has this incredible ability to tap into what is needed, in the most loving yet incredibly honest and fierce way. She's able to immediately see past the shit to the stuff that truly matters and keep me focused on achieving my greatest work. After our first call, I felt like I could achieve just about anything. Seriously. She is absolute intuitive magic and I can't recommend her enough. We all need Tanya in our lives. Hire her. You're welcome.”
“When I have my coaching calls with Tanya, everything re-orders.
Everything deepens.
Everything clarifies.
Everything feels loved when I am with her.
She helps me see what I really need to see.
She helps me get in alignment with my clearest path.
She helps me deepen into myself in a beautiful way.
Tanya's my gal.
And, I am so grateful that she is on my team.
It's an incredible blessing.”
“Tanya Geisler is truly a wonderful coach. The kind of person who actually can get you to do things differently. Or, more to the point, the kind who can actually help you stop telling yourself all the reasons why you can't!”
“Having an entire day with Tanya felt like winning the lottery, hanging out with a best friend, and sitting across from a business guru whose singular focus and deep wisdom changed the course of my business, to be sure; far more, the manifestation of my heart in the world. She's brilliant. And because of such, she makes me that much more so. Star-tipping? Yes. But in truth, time with Tanya is far more like being surrounded and supported by an entire constellation.”
“When I say Tanya is an extraordinary coach, I mean she is seriously effing brilliant. Her powers of insight move at the speed of a sleek & shiny Tesla. Her heart is one of the hugest I've ever witnessed. And wisdom? Don't get me started.
Coaching Session(s) with her will give you enough to chew on for months...and then some”
“Through this process, I was able to dream bigger than I would otherwise have on my own and take steps that I wouldn’t have had the courage to take otherwise. To my delight and surprise, I came out with the vision for a whole new community and body of work, and have created this. I feel reinvigorated, excited, and ready for what’s next!”
-HANNAH BRAIME
“I had unimaginable clarity, focus and an inspiring action plan. The next year of my life took on a new dimension of purpose and a deeper belief in myself, after the work we did together. She saw to the core of who I am and articulated my unique value back to me with the kind of compassion and igniting fire that only Tanya can bring. I can hardly wait for her coaching on the draft of my next training program. With Tanya on my team, it’s sure to be a hit. She is an inimitable, purpose-activating coach with strategy and soul for days.”
“Time spent talking to Tanya Geisler is time exquisitely spent. In speaking to her, I find not the prescriptive words of a self-proclaimed guru, but the truth of my deepest heart reflected to me.”
“Tanya Geisler is a powerhouse! Her knowledge, skills, and spot-on intuitive insights, makes her a force to be reckoned with! What she was able to do in our Spotlight Session was nothing short of incredible. She asked the right questions that brought a clarity, I’ve been longing for, transforming the vision of my company. Tanya laid out action plans propelling me to move toward my next steps, which will take me & my company to another level. It was just what I needed for my company to be rebirthed!”
“The program Tanya’s developed to help us understand and conquer why we hold ourselves back is so unique, insightful, and truly brilliant! Many times I sat back completely astounded. She’s a masterful coach and it shows. She was able to turn my imposter complex upside down and invite me to accept what I hold true in my heart. Drop any doubt and step up with Tanya. She’s got you.”
-CHRISTINE FRANCOEUR
“I have a successful business, a positive attitude, and a solid grasp on big life changes. Yet, I need a coach to keep me on the right path–and accelerating towards my best life. Tanya is that coach. She focuses tough questions and generous love on things hiding just below the surface and offers tools that keep me in the driver’s seat of my own life.”
“Tanya’s coaching brings together no-nonsense truth-telling, great compassion, and a kind of fierce love. I highly recommend working with her if you are ready to claim a bigger game and more joyous life!”
“If you need a super smart and I mean all kinds of smart coach, hire Tanya. I’ve been coached by some of the best, so I know!”
“This process has been life-changing and life-shattering for me, in a good way. I truly appreciate your uncanny talent as an archaeologist of abandoned dreams.”
-DEBRA EVE
“I am leaving this program with new friends, with a much deeper appreciation of my own values, with a system I can apply to every new cycle of my growth, and with a grounded sense of my own worth. I am leaving this program with that missing piece of myself fully integrated. I am leaving this program whole.”
-AMY PALKO
“Just got off the phone with you, and am blown away by all the actionable, brilliant and inspired actions to take next in my business. You are amazingly talented and it is an honor to work with you! Thank you for your boundless generosity!”
“The work I did during this course, with your guidance, gave me the permission to trust myself, helped me believe that my experiences are worthy, and brought me to a place where I could get quiet enough to hear my own wisdom. This is priceless.”
-TANIA WOJCIECHOWSKI
“I would recommend Tanya’s program to any woman who needs to bridge the maddening gap between ‘almost ready’ and ‘truly ready’ to move forward and manifest her dreams. Tanya’s powerful exercises, perceptive witnessing and gently nudging support all helped me realize how I could begin to more deeply engage with my own strengths and inner critics.”
-THEKLA RICHTER
“Everything about my work has become more vibrant and ease-filled. Tanya is masterful at standing for my genius.”
“Powerful, authentic & insightful! Tanya just gets “it” and knows exactly how to ask the right questions & provide the guidance to help you create that breakthrough in your life!”
SPEAKING
“Tanya Geisler is a force! Her insights on the Imposters Complex equate to "aha moment" after "aha moment." Tanya has led two workshops for our Women's Employee Resource Group at Wealthsimple. I especially appreciate her intersectional lens and approach to her work. I can't wait to work with her again.”
-Sonam Ringpa, Inclusion and Employee Experience Manager at Wealthsimple
“Tanya’s Imposter Complex training truly resonated with both Vital Voices staff and HERlead Fellows demonstrating just how prevalent it is and the importance of discussing these issues. The inclusive, safe space that Tanya creates allows for true connection, and participants leave feeling empowered with the tools to combat the Imposter Complex and to step into their leadership roles.”
-Kristen McAvoy, Program Manager, Leadership & Global Activation, Vital Voices Global Partnership
“Tanya’s “Owning Your Authority” keynote was uplifting, empowering, and enlightening – and a message EVERY woman needs to hear. It was refreshing to be told to be proud of our accomplishments and own our successes.”
-VALERIE WHIFFEN | Microsoft
“Tanya Geisler is a heartfelt, gifted, and brilliant speaker. Filled with warmth, wisdom, and amazing insights into what can truly help us all shine brightly, Tanya's presentation on the Imposter Complex at our Inspiration Day in NYC was beyond incredible. The feedback we have received is that she was 'life-changing' which has come as no surprise to us in the least! She created a tonne of fangirls in what seemed like a moment.
Do whatever you need to do to bring this woman to your stage. She will crack open the hearts of your audience and be the best hiring decision you've ever made. She has been mine.”
-JULIE PARKER, CEO and Founder, Beautiful You Coaching Academy
“Tanya’s genuine warmth, wisdom, and love of life made her an inspiration to work with and to observe onstage. From her resourcefulness and flexibility throughout the planning process to her brilliance as a speaker and facilitator, Tanya added immense value to G Day for Girls’ inaugural Toronto event. Tanya’s workshop translated our organization’s core values into a presentation that hit home on an emotional and intellectual level.
As the host of a full-day program of speakers and workshops, Tanya maintained a space for heartfelt expression, honouring the speakers and engaging the audience with her authentic charisma.”
“Tanya’s role as a G Day Toronto 2015 Presenter (and MC of the Champions-only portion of the day) was pivotal in setting the stage for an entire day’s worth of communication and relationship-building in a group of over 200 adolescent girls and their parents and other caregivers. She engaged us all with her own authentic truth-telling, crafted a powerful framework and series of questions to connect us more deeply with one another, held the space for what ensued, and had us laughing all the while. Work of this calibre is literally priceless: Tanya is truly magnificent.”
“Tanya showed up in a shining, mirrored presence like only she can. She opened my clients’ eyes in one beautiful brief hour to beliefs that have been holding them back for so long. It was a wonderful experience for me as their leader to see them receive her as a guest teacher and not only enjoy her as a glowing human but really get what she was saying. They’re still referring to her teaching and how it’s shifted their work, life, and roles. Tanya and her work were indeed a missing key to the work that I do with my clients and we were all so blessed by having her.”
“As a TEDx event organizer, Tanya was a delight to work with both behind the scenes and the impact of her talk on the audience was undeniable. Tanya is a natural.”
-LIANNE RAYMOND, TEDx Isfel
“Tanya is a powerhouse of positivity, with an inspiring and infectious attitude. In need of an energy or bravery boost? Tanya will motivate you to confidently push forward to achieve your goals.”
-GILLIAN GRAHAM, CEO | Institute of Communication Agencies

“Tanya is a dynamic, engaging, powerful speaker who keeps her audience in rapt attention. Her talks are thoughtful, unique, and full of both inspiration and practical information the listener can start applying in their everyday life right away.”
“Though brilliant and mesmerizing in any form, Tanya Geisler–in person and on stage–is a force to be reckoned with. Her presence entices, her words and wisdom transform, and her heart will capture yours.”
-RONNA DETRICK
“With her warm radiance and authentic style, Tanya is incredibly skillful at gauging the energy in the room and connecting with the audience in a powerful way. She is an insightful speaker with just the right blend of skill, compassion, and charisma. I look forward to having her back next year!”
-KATIA MILLA, Founder & Chief Inspirational Officer | Positive Fabulous Women
