EMPOWER your AUDIENCE TO EMBRACE their ICONIC IDENTITY

RECENT SPEAKING CLIENTS

Tanya in ACTION

I’ve been coaching since 2007, working with leaders, trailblazers, and visionaries to create lasting transformation in their lives and businesses. But everything changed in 2012 when I stepped onto the stage professionally. Speaking became the driving force behind my business—connecting me with right-fit clients, expanding my thought leadership, and opening doors I never dreamed possible.

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, NYC—not to mention memorable stops in Topeka, Boulder, Austin, Athabasca, and more than one Columbus—I’ve been everywhere. And going stronger than ever.

Speaking has been the catalyst for it all: the right clients, the biggest stages, and the opportunity to share my work with audiences who are ready to rise. I’m intentional with every opportunity.

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—traveling to create impact on stages around the world while sharing those moments with the ones I love most.

The Story Behind the Stage

SIGNATURE SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS

Imposter to Trailblazer

It’s time to stop managing your Imposter Complex and start rewriting the story. This talk reveals why self-doubt shows up for high-achievers, how it’s been weaponized against you — and how to alchemize it into Trailblazer energy that leads movements, not just meetings.

Key Takeaways: 

  • Reframe self-doubt by understanding its origins in high-achievers and how it's been used against you.

  • Alchemize imposter syndrome into potent "Trailblazer energy" that drives significant change.

  • Shift from merely managing self-doubt to actively rewriting your narrative and leading movements.

Your ICONIC Identity

You’re not too much. You’re not too vague. You’re not too late. You’re just out of alignment with your true leadership style. This talk introduces the ICONIC Identity framework — helping leaders name, claim, and lead from the centre of who they really are.

Key Takeaways: 

  • Realign your perceived flaws by recognizing they stem from a disconnect with your authentic leadership style, rather than inherent shortcomings.

  • Embrace your true leadership identity to move from self-doubt to leading with genuine power and impact.

  • Utilize the ICONIC Identity framework to actively name, claim, and lead from your authentic self.

Unshakeable Confidence

Confidence isn’t a mood — or a brand. It’s a structure. Built on Integrity, Presence, and Action, this talk shows leaders how to lead with clarity when the pressure is high and the Imposter Complex is loud. (And when everything’s said and done, it’s not even about confidence. It’s about audacity.)

Key Takeaways: 

  • Build confidence as a tangible structure by focusing on the foundational pillars of Integrity, Presence, and Action.

  • Lead with clarity and resilience even when facing high pressure and the disruptive noise of the Imposter Complex.

  • Shift beyond mere confidence to cultivate audacious leadership, understanding that true impact comes from bold action.

  • "For women leaders to fully harness their prowess, power, and potential, embracing their ICONIC nature is essential. Tanya was the perfect guide, illuminating the path for an audience of executive women to see and claim their strengths. 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."

    Suzanne Reynolds, Society of Women Engineers

  • "Tanya, didn’t just inspire us—she gave us the permission and challenge we didn’t know we needed. The shift was tangible; throughout the rest of the weekend, our group began calling out IC “symptoms” with kindness, helping each other to recognize and reject those limiting thoughts. 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."

    Christina Berekoff, British Columbia Shorthand Reporters Association

  • "Tanya was a breath of fresh air. Tanya reminded us that at the end of the day we are all human and brought out that personal side for our group. They so appreciated being brought down to earth and look inward. They valued the insights shared so that they can enhance their own skills and become stronger leaders for their teams. Thank you Tanya!"

    Alyssa Bergeron, KPMG

  • "Tanya is an impactful speaker with a lot of enthusiasm and knows how to wake up a room! We received a lot of positive feedback on Tanya and how her presentation resonated with our attendees at the Tastemaker Conference. We would HIGHLY recommend Tanya as a speaker at any event."

    Leslie Jackson, Tastemaker Conference

  • "Tanya was a joy to work with and we highly recommend her services! She was able to understand the needs of our audience and develop a comprehensive workshop for over 100 women students, to help them reframe their feelings of imposter syndrome. Presenting to a group of aspiring engineers can be challenging and she worked with the audience to make them comfortable, keep them engaged and present data-backed stats and frameworks."

    Ashley Bergman, Carleton University
