Let's redefine Leadership together

Speaking & Workshops

Looking for a speaker who can inspire your audience to step up, take the lead, and thrive - both professionally and personally?

You’ve found her.

And I don’t do boring.

My talks and workshops are dynamic, no BS sessions packed with insights that empower people to dig deep, challenge their thinking, and take actionable steps toward their goals.

What you can expect:

  • Curiosity at the core - I spark curiosity in your audience, encouraging them to explore new perspectives and embrace the growth that comes with stepping outside their comfort zones. (Think: Hermione level curiosity, minus the library fines.)

  • Legendary focused - Through thought provoking conversations, I challenge leaders to step up and become legendary Leaders. Because let’s face it: the world doesn’t need more mediocre managers. It needs leaders who inspire, empower, and create environments where people actually want to work.

  • Real world application - This isn’t just inspiration for inspiration’s sake. Attendees leave my sessions with practical tools they can use immediately - like spell book level strategies, minus the incantations.


    Growth without action? That’s not my style.

What happens when you join the table?

  • Clarity and influence like a true wizard - you’ll gain the focus and strategic insight to lead your team with intention, not just reaction. Influence isn’t a dark art; it’s a skill we’ll hone together.

  • Challenges? Consider them conquered - from team drama to decision fatigue, we’ll turn your leadership obstacles into stepping stones. You’ll walk away with a renewed sense of purpose—and joy—in leading.

  • Clear direction, aligned decisions - no more floundering. You’ll align your goals, values, and team needs to make decisions with confidence and precision, like casting the perfect spell every time.

  • Team morale? Leviosa it - we’ll dig into the heart of what’s holding your team back, addressing issues to create motivation, trust, and productivity. Think of it as leadership alchemy.

  • Sustainable practices for continued growth - you don’t need a time turner to stay ahead. We’ll implement strategies that create ongoing growth for you and your team—so you can lead with ease, not exhaustion.

That's where V.I.P Leaders comes in!

V.I.P Leaders is designed for you if you lead people. Whether you’re a business owner, manager, teacher/principal, or sports coach.

If you lead, this is for you. If you're emerging as a Leader, then jump in too.

You’ll learn and build the mindset, emotional, and coaching skills necessary to excel in leadership positions.

You’ll not only build the confidence and effectiveness needed for today’s leadership challenges but also the practical tools to build connection, drive change, and create lasting impact and success.

Doesn't that sound great?!

The bottom line:

You need to build your leadership and people management skills and you need it now.

The Round Table isn’t a quick fix or a cookie cutter solution.

It’s a personalised, no-BS coaching experience that gives you exactly what you need to be the kind of leader people don’t just follow - they rave about.

Pull up a chair. Let’s make leadership feel less like a grind and more like magic.

Topics I speak on...

Thriving in the Hardest Era of Work

What does it take to navigate and thrive in the current world of work?

I break it down and give you exactly what you need to keep moving forward with optimism.

Overcoming Imposter Thinking

The pesky self doubt thoughts that keep you up at night?! Yea, let's silence and kick them out. I share the five imposter types that hold us back and exactly how to navigate it to build more confidence.

Create Certainty in the Uncertain

Is there anything certain about the way we're working and living right now? Probably not. Which is why we need to know exactly how to navigate it that helps us feel in control. I talk through the key tools that will leave you resilient and moving forward.

Mastering Your Mindset

Is your mind your friend? Or a filing cabinet of thoughts and lists that might be on fire? I share exactly how your mindset works and how you can rewire it to make it work for you. What every Leader needs.

Mastering Your Mindset

Is your mind your friend? Or a filing cabinet of thoughts and lists that might be on fire? I share exactly how your mindset works and how you can rewire it to make it work for you. What every Leader needs.

Bring your challenge, let’s deep dive into it, create a personlised action plan, and walk away with a solution + a coach in your pocket.

Let's work together

I bring my expertise to conferences, summits, and in house learning and development sessions.

Need something specific?

I also design bespoke workshops tailored to your organisation’s unique needs.

Whether you’re looking to energise your team, promote leadership growth, or create meaningful change, I’ll deliver a session your audience won’t stop talking about.

Because leadership isn’t just a skill - it’s a way of being. And when we get it right, it’s downright magical.

Why work with an external people leadership coach?

Because sometimes, venting to your boss feels like playing with fire - and asking your peers for advice is like trying to tame a blast-ended skrewt.

When the challenge you’re facing is too tricky to unpack with someone inside your organisation, or when you just need a fresh, objective perspective, that’s where I come in.

Here’s why leaders turn to me. They want someone who’s:

  • Objective - I’m not tangled up in your office politics or daily drama. I’m here to help you see the forest through the trees (or the solution through the spreadsheets).

  • Skilled - Coaching isn’t a hobby for me; it’s my craft. Whether it’s untangling tough conversations or sharpening your strategic thinking, I’ve got the tools to help you level up.

  • Action-Oriented - We don’t just talk. We get clear, make decisions, and create a plan so you leave every session knowing exactly what to do next.

If leadership feels like...

A never ending maze of meetings, people problems, and “what do I even do next?”

moments, let’s simplify things.

I’ll give you the perspective, plan, and push you need to build your skills and lead your people with confidence.

Because let’s face it: Great leaders aren’t born - they’re coached.

The Round Table will work for you if you are:

A People Leader

You’re leading people, or you’re about to and you need to work through challenges that are holding you back. No matter the industry, position, or context - this is for you.

Growth Focused

You know things need to change in order to create better results and you’re ready for it. You are open to being challenged and to shift your perspectives.

Ambitious

You want more, you want better, you want to be a great Leader. You want to do it all well and you want to do it in a way that is sustainable, enjoyable, and fulfilling.

It won't work for you if you aren't:

  • Willing to change


    What you’re doing or how you think in order to create different outcomes and results. Leading successfully is being willing to be wrong in order to get it right.

  • Open to experimenting

    And trying things out to see how they work, leadership is about experimenting and testing to find the best solutions.

  • Patient and willing to play the long game

    Leading people isn’t a quick win or quick game. It takes time, energy, and investment to be a great Leader and to build great teams.

So what are you waiting for?

You're either becoming the Leader you want to be or you're staying as you are.

And we're not here to play the complacent game.

We're here to become Legendary and create a leadership practice that people actually want to follow.

After V.I.P Leaders, you will walk away with:

When you know this, everything gets simpler.

As a V.I.P Leader, you will be a Leader that...

Adds value in so many ways:

  • Through what you do every day - like what tasks are delegated and completed.

  • How you speak to your people - with clarity and kindness.

  • How you choose what’s right over what’s easy - like dealing with issues quickly, and;

  • Prioritise what’s important over what’s quick - like sticking to your values, not just leaving them as words.

Makes a bigger impact by:

  • How you influence your people - so they feel compelled and engaged to move for you.

  • Build trust in every interaction - so your team feels respected and seen, and;

  • Authentically connect with others to get things across the line, because hey - without that you’re not getting much done.

Empowers your people:

  • Through coaching them to grow - not just telling them what to do, huge benefits!

  • Clear and direct feedback - feedback gets people to push for better and you’ll know how to do it well, and;

  • Supporting them through everything that comes up, no matter how challenging - because hey - life is challenging right now.

How you will feel at the end of V.I.P Leaders...

CONFIDENT

You know who you are and want to be as a Leader and you will be powerfully guided by your values. You will be more self-assured in who you are by knowing your strengths, owning failures, and embracing vulnerability.

RESILIENT

You manage stress and navigate uncertainties with courage, ease, and calm. Using emotional regulation techniques you maintain clarity and calm even in high pressure situations, supporting others through your steadiness and reliability.

INFLUENTIAL

You build strong and trusting relationships with the people around you and you know how to effectively influence to get support and buy-in for the decisions and changes you need to make.

COURAGEOUS

You courageously show up as the Leader you really are, have challenging conversations, and support your people even when things feel hard.

FOCUSED & EFFECTIVE

You know how to properly plan and structure your weeks for maximum impact and productivity. You set yourself up for success, focusing on what truly matters, and ensuring you have the energy and focus to lead with impact and effectively develop and support your people.

If you're a company manager, leader (or up & comer), this is how your organisation will benefit:

  • Increased engagement in the vision, strategy and purpose of the company through a supported development pathway in your Leadership journey.

  • Stronger foundation of trust, safety, and respect within teams led by committed and resilient leaders who are emotionally intelligent and know how to regulate their emotions.

  • Increased team satisfaction, connection, and collaboration from working with a Leader who has the skills to coach, have courageous conversations, and give effective feedback.

  • Higher productivity and efficiency in delivering work due to proper success planning, clear priorities, and solid confidence in their skills and capabilities.

  • Decreased leave and absenteeism by effectively supporting Leaders in how they manage themselves, their workloads, and their teams. Especially through challenging times.

  • Increased innovation, collaboration, and learning due to a forward focused Leadership mindset and strong coaching skills, and the courage to give empowering feedback.

No matter the context in which you lead, every single person around you will benefit from what you learn. This is for business owners, managers, coaches, teachers!

What people say about working with me:

“Before my first session with Tash I was feeling very overwhelmed with a lot of changes happening in my life all at once.

Tash helped me to sort my thoughts and
within 3 weeks of my first session, I started seeing incredible changes in my life!


I noticed my mindset changing to the point that I was almost
entirely thinking positively
and, therefore, started noticing more positive things appearing in my life.

If you are hesitating about spending the money just like I was - let me tell you that
you will have no regrets."

Jose

Business Owner

"Coaching with Tash has been invaluable for my personal and professional life.

I started with Tash as a very fresh leader and lacked confidence in leading my team, which led to a lack of clarity across the board.

Tash helped me work through some blockages around what was and wasn’t in my control, which helped me determine what I would then pass on to my team.

I am approaching leadership differently and have been able to approach it with a much calmer mindset."

Jose

Business Owner

Emma

Operations Manager

What people are saying

"Brilliant Session"

"Tash ran a brilliant session for our team about creating your own certainty in uncertain times and maintaining resilience to keep moving forward. The team gave lots of brilliant feedback about her session. Tash is a first class natural presenter who delivers messages that land and make a difference to people's lives."

Kiri, People & Culture Manager

"Relatable & Meaningful"

Thank you Tash, you made this imposter thinking session so relatable and personally meaningful. It feels great walking away knowing that while I’ve had years of practice of the old ways of thinking, I can take small, actionable steps every day to chip away and practice a new mindset.

Emily, Workshop participant

"Cool drink of serenity"

"Tash was like a long cool drink of serenity. Her presentation provided solid practical tips on how to be more true to yourself; in the moment and for the long haul. I loved it. The attendees were highly engaged on a ‘calm’ platform. I would definitely recommend Tash for future conferences."

Nikki, HR Advisors Conference

✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅

"Great reminders"

“Tash shared good reminders to set up professional boundaries to enable us to bring out our best self at work, a topic we should really explore more often and earlier on in our career instead of leaving it until we are burnt out.”

Attendee, HR Conference

✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅

"Informative & Relaxing"

“I want to say after listening to fast talking people throwing information at you for 2 days, it was great to hear from someone who talked calmly and with pause. I found your talk very relaxing and informative”

Meet Tash Pieterse...

An Internationally Certified People Leadership Coach

with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management,

Dare to Lead training, Riders & Elephants Leadership Certification, and a Diploma in Positive Psychology. Yes, I’ve got the credentials to back it up - but let’s talk about what really matters.

With over 13 years in corporate HR, I’ve worked across public, private, and membership organisations, seeing firsthand what works - and what seriously doesn’t - when it comes to leadership. Spoiler alert: mediocre management doesn’t cut it.

Since starting my coaching practice in 2019, I’ve made it my mission to kick mediocre leadership to the curb and help leaders become the kind of people others genuinely

want to follow.

My approach? No fluff, no jargon, just actionable strategies to lead with clarity, confidence, and courage.

Here’s the thing: I’ve been in the trenches.

I’ve felt the crushing weight of decision fatigue, navigated late night imposter spirals, and questioned if I was truly “cut out” for leadership.

But I also figured out how to rise above it - and I’m here to share those lessons with your audience.

Whether I'm speaking at a conference or leading a workshop...

I bring energy, humour, and a whole lot of real talk to every session.

My goal?

To inspire and equip people to lead with integrity, authenticity, and impact.

I know what it's like, like really I do...

I know what it’s like to have A LOT going on while also trying to master my leadership skills, create connections, build strong teams, and achieve great results.

It’s all welcomed and supported here.

I would 1000% recommend Tash to anyone who wants to feel genuinely supported

"I approached Tash for support and coaching after realising just how overwhelmed and stuck I felt. It surfaced in all parts of my life and no matter how much effort I was putting in, I was struggling to feel good about what I was doing and how I was showing up.

Working with Tash has been a life-giving gift. Not only did she provide practical things I could implement in my busy life, but she created a space where I could challenge a lot of my thinking and beliefs, supported me as I worked to shift them, while feeling safe and empowered to do so.

It never felt rigid or forced - the way she could be her genuine self and somehow layer that with technical expertise made it such an empowering, impactful, yet fun experience.

Her coaching and support has helped me to build a daily mindset that is more gracious, kind, curious, and believing. And because of that, I find myself approaching situations, especially hard things, with a more grounded confidence that is resilient and brave.

I would 1000% recommend Tash to anyone who wants to feel genuinely supported in making some challenging mindset shifts and building deeper self-confidence!"

Got Questions? Here's Answers

If your question isn't answered here, you can email me at [email protected] and I'll answer it for you so you can make the best choice for you.

What is the round table best used for?

To work through a specific challenge, you’re currently facing as a leader.

Whether that’s something coming up in your team, in your peer group, or personally with yourself - we can dive into it and get you moving forward.

It’s not the best fit if you have multiple things on your mind that you want to work through.A full 1:1 coaching series may be a better fit. You can find more here.

When does the two week’s of coaching support start?

It starts after you have your coaching call. The two weeks will begin from there and will be run through the Voxer app which is like a walkie talkie.

It’s free to use.

What does the audit include?

It includes a self assessment on each of the leadership skills that have the biggest impact on team dynamics and creating successful results.

There will also be a reflection on your mindset and the connection with your leadership journey.

What if I purchase it and want a refund?

If you purchase this offer and immediately realise that this is not a good fit for you, I will happily refund the price.

However, if you have accessed any of the materials or completed the coaching call, no refund will be given.

What if something comes up and I can’t make use of the two weeks of support?

I know life happens, and if it’s a challenging time to prioritise yourself, we can delay the support and pick it up back up again.

It does have to be used within a 6 week period; otherwise, it starts to lose connection with the work that we did in the coaching call.

I’m interested, but I’m not 100% sure if this is the right fit, what can I do?

You are welcome to email me at [email protected] and ask any questions to see whether this would be a great fit for you.
