RECENT SPEAKING CLIENTS

Tanya in ACTION

Since 2007, I’ve worked with leaders, trailblazers, and visionaries to create lasting transformation in their lives and businesses. In 2012, I stepped onto the stage professionally — and everything aligned.

Speaking became my most powerful tool for transformation.
It’s how I connect with right-fit clients, expand thought leadership, and catalyze clarity that sticks.

From luxurious retreats in Mexico and the Pyrenees, to the Grand Hotel in Oslo (stage of THE Nobel Prize awards dinner), to bustling conference centres in Vancouver, Philadelphia, Chicago, and NYC — not to mention memorable stops in Topeka, Boulder, Austin, Athabasca, and more than one Columbus — I’ve been everywhere. And I’m just getting started.

Each stage is an opportunity.
To name what’s true.
To dismantle doubt.
To help leaders remember who they are — and claim the impact that’s already theirs.

And here’s a personal note:
Part of my dream has always been to bring my beloveds and team along for the ride.

Today, I’m living that dream — travelling the world, creating change on stages, and sharing those moments with the ones I love most.

Through her profound insights into the Trailblazer Complex, she didn’t just reveal our true identity—she insisted we claim it through action. We left knowing, deeply, that we are more than ready enough."

Thank you for an experience that was nothing short of life-changing. We are leaving with the courage to rise to our own strengths, unapologetically."
