Rachel Falzon – Founder/National President of Women in Defence Australia
Tanya delivered an incredible presentation for our centre. What was most impressive was how open and enthusiastic she is to comments and questions. She was inviting and validating, giving way to vulnerable sharing and nuances insights which then seamlessly integrated into professional considerations and practice. As a result, deeper, richer conversations and learning occurred. Thank you so much Tanya for enriching our team and by extension, our clients. Thank you for being part of the evolution of this work in Canada’s defence team.

Linda Degnan – Finance Manager Redgum Justice
Boardrooms need to be an environment where directors understand their strengths and weaknesses and feel safe asking the difficult questions. Tanya went above and beyond to deliver a hands-on session tailored to the available timeframe and that challenged participants while providing an engaging framework for interactive learning. Her bubbly cheerful personality lifted the audience to the point of spontaneous sing-a-long. Thank you Tanya for a wonderfully unique and practical session to explore communication and discover personal strengths.
