Helping individuals, leaders and teams thrive

Many organizations struggle due to an unhealthy culture.

I help identify problem areas; then work with individuals, leaders, and teams to create a healthy work culture so they can grow.

People find joy in their work again, feel empowered and peaceful, and the business thrives.

What our clients have to say

“Tara helped two of our staff members navigate a major transition in duties when their roles changed. She worked with them individually and together, to communicate and collaborate more effectively. She turned a work situation from one that was off to a very rocky start into a stable, productive one. Both staff members report how beneficial Tara’s coaching was to their relationships and own personal growth. And she left me with pointers on how to reinforce what was gained going forward! I would definitely hire Tara again.”

“I was shutting down any time I was triggered during communication. This was leaving me resentful, lost, and uninspired, especially when I needed to collaborate in order to progress on a project. I make coaching sessions with Tara a priority and am now able to manage my emotions and work effectively with others to be successful. Don’t think you have time? It’s the best hour I spend every week and helps me thrifve! “
