Knowing and learning from Tanya is almost a privilege. There are special people with whom you cross paths at some point in your existence and who teach you the things you need to embrace in order to grow and to learn who you really are and how you can improve and be an even better person. Tanya is such an individual. One who will make you step back and understand the situation and position you're in so you can see the path you need to take to step out of the shadows and bring yourself into light. That is exactly what I accomplished with Tanya's help and coaching. She is the most amazing coach I had the chance to work with in my career. Thank you Tanya - a voice can always be heard.

Coaching with Tanya was my first coaching experience and she was a wonderful support. She asks questions that make you really think about yourself and your perspective in a different way. I feel like I know myself better than I did before and I am more intentional in my leadership and relationships than I was in the past. She gave me some excellent building blocks for my leadership development that I know I will continue to think about throughout my career.

From the beginning, I knew from Tanya’s LinkedIn profile that her view of coaching and creating success resonated with me. Having never worked with a business coach one-on-one before, I wasn’t sure what to expect - but I can honestly say I was so pleased after our first meeting! Tanya helped me articulate my strengths and guided me to focus on areas that I needed to grow in. She helped me better understand myself and my career objectives. She provides challenging but realistic goals that aren’t solely business-based, but also about being genuine and letting the true you shine through. If you are on the fence about hiring a business coach, I strongly encourage you to meet Tanya for a coffee. It is well worth your time.

The big thing I have to say is Tanya gets it! When it comes to working with people either in big office environments or with respect to operating a small business, it is about your inter-personal relationships and how you maintain them. Anyone can look at your numbers and help you set goals, but Tanya will help you achieve by getting you to befriend the things that you shy away from or are overwhelmed by. She guides and supports by providing an outside perspective and offering ideas, exercises and approaches to address the harder parts of your endeavor. She lets you find your way through the issues by breaking them down into manageable pieces. She gets you past old and reliable excuses. Working with Tanya you will learn how not to limit or inhibit your potential.

I had the pleasure of being coached by Tanya earlier this year. She was easy to work with, open to discussion, purposeful, always providing another point of view to widen my perspective. Always respectful of boundaries while pursuing coaching. She provided me with tools that will follow me the rest of my life AND I thank her for that.

I have used Tanya Smith’s services as a Coach for a period of 8 months. This was a period of transition in my life in which Tanya was able to work with me in preparing me for adapting to a new phase in my life. Tanya was extremely supportive and helpful in assisting me with this period of change. Her unbiased view was one that always made me feel at ease to open up and share all my thoughts with.

When someone finds their true calling in life it is a magical thing to see. When you get to experience it first hand it can be life changing. This past year has been an intense one for me and my family and I know that Tanya was a huge part of me keeping it all together and making it through to the other side. I am so thankful for the guidance and experience!

I would highly recommend Tanya as a coach. She in kind, compassionate and very insightful. She helped me work through some anxiety issues by giving me the necessary tools to overcome them. In talking through my anxious moments, Tanya helped me learn more about myself and I was able to understand where and why these issues reside. I am grateful for her wise perspective and for making opening up so easy.

Tanya is an outstanding coach with patience, a listening ear and wise discernment. She has an easy, intimate style of coaching which made for a comfortable, safe environment to share my experiences. I will definitely look for opportunities to work with her again!

“I feel very fortunate to have worked with Tanya Smith. She helped me transition thru a major milestone in my life; a new work opportunity. As a result of our time together I have seen a greater self-confidence and improvement in in my leadership ability. The techniques she provided throughout our coaching program, I will be forever grateful for. I will continue to use them in my day-to-day life whether it be at the workplace or at home. I thank you for your continued support and for the successful coaching experience.”

I attended Tanya Smith’s 4-hour workshop on “Introduction to Mindfulness” last month. As intrigued as I’ve been with the whole subject of Mindfulness, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I found that the time went by quickly, too quickly, and I was left with a clear understanding of why it’s so important to incorporate mindfulness into our lives, and when practiced, how it truly leads to greater peace and contentment. Tanya is a facilitator that encourages the sharing of ideas. Her kindness and warm acceptance of everyone in the room made us feel that it was a safe space to share personal insights and ideas – and that, combined with Tanya’s expertise about mindfulness, made the workshop a very valuable experience for me.

Thank you so much for working with me. I'm writing to let you know that I got the promotion! Again, thank you so much for all the work you did with me, it definitely gave me the confidence boost I needed.

I recommend Tanya as a career coach for anyone looking for positive, in-depth and future oriented support. Tanya can provide invaluable assistance to those searching for meaning in their current career and work relationships . Tanya has the ability to enable you to see various possibilities which will enhance your life and your work.
