The things that line up with your values tend to feel lighter.

Even when they ask a lot of you.

Coaching for Career & Life Transitions

What if frustration is a signal, not a flaw?

Once upon a time, people would arrive at coaching with a version of:

“How do I improve my leadership style…communication style… deal with my difficult coworker/boss?”

The driving factor was their frustration at the same obstacle that kept showing up Groundhog Day-style:

Standing in their way to being seen (by the powers that be) as more effective in their current role, and by default messing with their bigger goals of securing their next big promotion, title, pay raise etc.

These days, experienced professionals (once driven to overachievement time and again) arrive at coaching with a version of a very different sentence:

“I don’t know what’s wrong with me.”

“Is this still me?”

When “How do I perform better?” starts to matter less than “Is this still me?

Once upon a time, people would arrive at coaching with a version of:

“How do improve my performance…communication…leadership style…effectiveness?”

Most people arrive at coaching with a version of the same sentence: “Something is off and I can’t put my finger on it.”

Burnout, midlife

When I first started working with Tanya, I immediately sensed that she “got me”.

“This went beyond simple acknowledgement; it was a very deep, visceral validation of my life experience. Impossible unless you’ve walked the same shitty roads and bore the scars of the same battles yourself.

Immediately, I felt anchored.

For the first time in a very long time, with Tanya’s help, I felt like I could actually stop treading water for a moment, and actually figure things out.”
