Testimonials - Executive Coach
I have always been self-aware, but I have gained new insights into how to best focus on making improvements in areas where I've felt “stuck". I have been able to focus more on myself, my needs, and what makes me happy, without as much guilt and stress.I feel as if I've gone from very stressed and focused on others, to a place of more equilibrium and feeling more grounded. Now, I would like to learn how to go beyond that to be genuinely happy and optimistic more often than not. - Paula
Tania is a talented and amazing coach. I really cannot overstate her ability to cut through what I am saying to get to the root of what are the driving forces in my life. Truly a great experience. - Dan
I have better realized that work has dominated my life and better balance must be struck soon. Tania has helped me hold myself account to take action in this space. She has helped me work through a variety of issues at work and challenged me to think of these things from new angles. A key milestone for me was navigating new working relationships in my role. - Craig
Less hesitation to ask questions- It's really about believing in myself, and worry less about what others may think of me. Prepare my communication, have a plan, ask questions, clarity in my goals, work towards my goals, focus, less control and be more adventurous to see how a situation unfolds. - Georges
One of the more significant changes has centered around listening more, and asking questions to hear about others' experiences or challenges since we have returned to work. My actions and words are more centered around continuing to build and/or maintain trust with those I interact with, as well as new team members I have met recently. - Al
Working with Tania is eye opening and life changing. She took the time to get to know me and my goals. She continues to meet me right where I'm at then guides me to reflect on the state of things to be able to clarify my plan of action. Lots of aha moments along the way. Her coaching helps me slow down and be intentional in my actions increasing my effectiveness in what's important to me in life right now. I'm thankful! - Shirley
I learn about myself with each session and start applying what I learn immediately. I gain eye-opening insights about myself and learn about a deep-seated tendency which blocks my growth and progress. I understand where I am and how I got here. With Tania, I uncovered important work I need to do to bridge a gap to get to where I want to be. Uncovering and dealing with things I may have buried helps to remove obstacles that hampered my progress. I feel supported and appreciated. Tania coaches me towards my goals and my overall purpose.- Vasundhara
Tania has made such a profound impact on me personally and professionally. She truly lives to serve and has helped me to embrace my true self. She asks deep questions and pushes on me when I need it. It was through her coaching today that I was able to envision my next steps on the direction I would like to take with serving others. - Laura
In my business practice, I have participated, organized and witnessed some talented speakers. However, Tania elevates the field. She engages her audience, adults and children, by asking thought-provoking questions and then asking for more. Her sessions are interactive and creative. She mixes elements of music, humor, coaching and fundamentals in her presentation. What I love most is seeing her smile and eyes light up when she makes that audience connection. Tania celebrates the power in each of us. -Michelle M., Samsung

Testimonials - Kid Coach
I am so happy I decided to have Tania coach my son. My son was having difficulty in setting goals for himself and focusing on the task at hand. Having coach Tania work with him helped him realize what he needed to do and the steps he needed to take in order to accomplish them. My son was able to end the school year on a strong note. I look forward to working with coach Tania in the future and I highly recommend her services.
-Cristina Gallagher., Parent
In my sessions with Coach Tania, I let all my emotions out because I feel safe. I've learned that it’s okay to be afraid. It’s good to create goals and actions when I face challenges. I’m more confident in school and raise my hand and speak more often in class. Coach Tania has created a space where I can be curious, like starting a Kindness Mission at school. With Coach Tania’s support, I fix things with my friends, practice positivity and help others be kind to one another. That's an A+! -Delia T., Student
I just want to take a moment to thank you for the time and attention you gave to coaching Amelia during Figure Skating in Harlem this year! It was a great opportunity for Amelia to learn so many important and wonderful lessons!! She learned to focus, to prepare and plan, to be positive and to never give up until the goal is reached and the plan is accomplished. She was not always the perfect student since she was juggling an intense year at school along with After school activities. But she still started to understand that she had to make time for her commitments and work on her projects and research to achieve the goals you helped her to set. Just listening to you work with Amelia I could hear your Vibrant spirit, support, respect, understanding, creativity, high energy and enthusiasm you gave to Amelia!! I really love those qualities in you! Amelia really knew she had to step up her game and be ready for her sessions with you! Thanks for making a permanent incredibly positive impression on my daughter! I will always remember you for that! All the very best to you! -Lynette B., Parent
