Tania is a winner of the Nat West Venus Awards (South West) in the category of “Influential Woman Of The Year”
I am passionate about developing leaders and in drawing out the gold in those I work with. I was once told by my own coach that you cannot teach leadership but only learn it.
My own experiences have taught me how true this is. I have learnt about leadership by being a parent to four children, being a grandparent, leading a charity, leading a church, and leading myself (the latter being by far the most challenging!).
I have learnt that you can exercise leadership without a formally recognised “position” and that formal authority without moral authority is fundamentally flawed. I have learnt that vulnerability is the cornerstone of effective leadership because it provides the fertile soil for true greatness. I have learned that it is better to travel hopefully than to arrive because that keeps me humble and always learning.
I have learned that I could dazzle you with an array of qualifications or I could just tell you that I’m intuitive (apparently funny), challenging, direct and encouraging. I believe the best in people and that Kairos or defining moments are what creates mindset shifts that literally change everything.
Most of all, I believe I can never inspire greatness in a person, because the greatness is there already, I just enable people to realise their own more fully.
Tania’s great loves in life (apart from Guy) is being a mum, a grandmother/ “Yaya”, writing, hosting hygee evenings and socialising with friends.
“Tania has worked with me as a coaching supervisor. She is encouraging, insightful and gently challenging. She brings a lot of creativity into her approach and has enabled me to develop in confidence in my coaching practice.”
