Emma - Operations Manager
"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 went to Tash thinking that leadership wasn’t for me and I would never do it again, but now I have moved organisations into another leadership role! I can already feel that I’m approaching this time differently and have been able to approach it with a much calmer mindset."

"VIP Leaders was a transformative experience that reshaped my leadership approach, reconnecting me with my core values and empowering me to lead with authenticity.
Tash is a wonderful mentor, and taught me the significance of asking the simple questions as a way to unlock others, the strength in my utilising my unique perspective, and practical ways to enhance my skills in strategic influencing and coaching.
I highly recommend VIP Leaders and working with Tash to both emerging and experienced leaders looking to elevate their abilities to positively impact their teams and stakeholders."

Michelle - People Experience Lead
"I approached Tash for support and coaching at the start of this year after realising just how overwhelmed and stuck I felt for most of the previous year. 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. So I was desperate for help with finding a more empowering way of living and working.
Working with Tash has been a life-giving gift. Not only did she provide practical things I could implement that was specifically catered to me as a person, my challenges and 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!"

Alex - CEO and Futurist
"Now, it's fair to say that as someone in their 40's who's been in leadership positions since their 20's, it does feel a little odd to broadcast that I hired someone to coach me in life and leadership.
Some might say I should have figured those two things out by now. I may have said that to myself once or twice. But ego aside...
Tash has a way of making the vulnerable easy to talk through and work through to get clarity and conviction. Our work together had a structure tailored to what I was looking for (which Tash helped me elicit) but also had flexibility to adjust as we worked together.
Working with Tash levelled me up in a number of ways in both my personal and professional life.
If world class athletes have coaches, then I reckon if you want to be a world class leader or live a world class life, then you probably should too. And Tash is a world class coach."

Paul - Chief Technology Officer
“In early 2022 Tash provided leadership coaching. This comprised of a 3-month program with regular catchups. Some of the key results from going through the program were:
- Establishing a new vision for the team I manage,
- Identifying and creating solutions to my current challenges
- With the support of the organisation I was able to have my responsibilities adjusted.
By going through the coaching, I feel I am now more focused, more effective and my job satisfaction has increased significantly, so I highly recommend Tash's leadership coaching.”

Coralie - HR Manager
"I connected with Tash when I was struggling with the juggle of life. I have 2 young kids and was trying to grow my career after taking maternity leave and was have difficulty finding the right balance. I was feeling overworked, overwhelmed and like I was failing.
Tash was fantastic, she listened and heard my frustrations and provided tools for me to take ownership and control of my situation.
12 months on I comfortably prioritise what is important to me, am confident in my own abilities, courageously speak up when I feel the need and show up every day as my best self!
Thanks Tash!!"

Ashleigh - Senior HR Professional
"I first came across Tash at the HR Advisors conference in 2020, I then joined up for the Thriving HR Professionals programme in 2021 and then 1:1 coaching sessions with Tash throughout 2022 and 2023.
Tash has a toolbox full of knowledge, her calm and consistent nature is admirable.
Self-doubt has been a big one for me, with Tash’s guidance I have been able to build self-confidence, relationships, strengthen my Leadership skills and gain a more positive focus in my career.
Thank you for your coaching, mentoring, support and impartial view Tash, your input into my career and mindset both in and out of the workplace has been and continues to be invaluable!
Here’s to a more realistic view of what success looks like, celebrating the wins, sharing learnings, and living a balanced life!
If you are thinking about having a coach, look no further, it’s one of the best things you can do for yourself!"
Sofia - Director & Strategist
"Working with Tash has been genuinely life-changing.
In the year we’ve worked together, my business has almost doubled, I’ve fallen in love with fitness again after years away from it, my relationships are incredible, my routine is fun, and life feels so fantastic in the simplest, most easeful, and most beautiful of ways.
Tash has such a unique approach that combines all elements of your life holistically to improve – rather than focusing on just one area and tailors her advice based on what’s important to your unique personality as a human.
For anyone thinking about working with Tash, my advice would be to start yesterday! I wish I started working with her sooner."
Ashlee - Head of HR
“I cannot recommend coaching with Tash enough! You have to be open to the issues that you have been struggling with and once you work with Tash to identify the crux of things, it’s so rewarding to see them change.
Looking back to where I was at the start of my journey (negative, doubting myself and not feeling good enough), I would never imagined that I would be where I am now, positive, confident in who I am, living a life of intention, thriving in a career I absolutely love and working with such great and understanding people.
Tash created a space for me to truly be myself which has allowed me to be the best version of myself!”
Ashlee - Head of HR
"I started my coaching series with Tash when I took the leap to move to Brisbane for a new job opportunity!
I was struggling to create the vibe I was excited to move here for. Tash always kept me honest and provided plenty of valuable prompts to reflect and reframe. From the initial session where we defined how I wanted aspects of my life to feel. This formed the benchmark for my coaching journey, and I really appreciated Tash's reminders to focus on the gains not the gap- to help reframe the progress of the journey!
My mindset shift is the most valuable output of my coaching journey with Tash. In the year I've been in Brisbane I've created communities and connections here in line with my values and I'm grateful to have had Tash's support to facilitate this!
Advice to someone wanting to do coaching with Tash is do it! It helps to have a focus on what you'd like to work on, Tash will help you work through and bring clarity- be prepared to be challenged & held accountable to bring it to life!"
Holly - Teacher
“Before I started working with Tash I was suffering from overwhelm, burnout and just feeling like I was just staying afloat in the week and having breakdowns Sunday evening about having to go to work.
During coaching I learned that I was addicted to overwhelm!! If I had nothing on, I would find ways to keep myself busy by saying I had so much to do and kept telling myself and they often were things that really didn't need to be done. I would continue to add to my to-do list and forgetting about the basics of what I needed to do well.
What was most valuable for me was setting myself up for success each day and choosing things that would work for me at home and work rather than trying to do it all all of the time. I also learned how to set strong boundaries with myself and knowing when they needed to be adjusted and how to have accountability for myself.
Now, I don't have a breakdown every Sunday evening about going back to work and I have developed a better balance in life. I no longer have an addiction to overwhelm and I am able to recognise when I may be slipping back and because of this I can regulate my nervous system/stress better.
Coaching has changed my life! Being able to have someone who can challenge your mindset and have an objective is so invaluable. Coaching also helps you identify your wins also gives you the time, space and energy to listen, support, encourage and challenge you which creates much faster change and growth in your life.
I feel I have achieved so much growth as a result of coaching that I wouldn't have had I worked on this myself. Coaches can see what's happening in your life without the emotion you are experiencing.
If you have been feeling overwhelmed, burned out, lost motivation, feeling lost or confused and want to really change this, Tash is the perfect person. She will challenge you in the most beautiful way around your mindset and will leave you feeling energised, empowered and excited about your next steps.
Her genuine desire to help you shines through and she is always positively celebrating you and your achievements along the way. She creates such a safe and special place for you to share your challenges and truly empthasises and understands where you are at.
It is truly such an incredible experience to work with Tash and I will be forever grateful to the change she has made to my life and my work.”
Jose - Business Owner
“Before my first session with Tash I was feeling very overwhelmed with a lot of changes happening in my life all at once. I was at the point where I didn’t even know what my problem was and what I was worrying about. Along with doubting myself in my relationships and my career I was also facing some big decisions I had to make that were impossible for me to focus on while feeling so overwhelmed with everything else.
I had started trying to sort out my life by listening to podcasts, trying lots of self care techniques but in the end joining some of Tash’s free self care Sunday sessions made me book a clarity call. And I have never looked back!
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. From money literally flowing into my life left front and centre to meeting the right guy that aligns with my values all within a matter of weeks... pure magic!
I feel motivated and energetic and like everything is going to work out for me in the future. I have not shut up about Tash and how incredible she is at what she does and have been telling everyone to book a session! If you are hesitating about spending the money just like I was - let me tell you that you will have no regrets. In fact you will probably want to book your next session straight away, it is soooooo worth it.”
Laura - CEO
“I had lost myself in the craziness of life. I felt exhausted, undervalued and indecisive. I wanted to feel like myself again - confident and passionate.
Tash helped me to reconnect with who I am, what's truly important to me, and enabled me to find clarity amongst what was an incredibly messy and turbulent time in my life. She was incredibly supportive, kind and challenged me to think differently.
My whole mindset has shifted and as a result, I have seen my life continue to improve. I have more energy (I get up earlier, even though I am not a morning person!), the work I'm doing is aligned with what I value, and most importantly, I feel like myself for the first time in a long time.
I am confident that I have the tools I'll need to stay on a path that's right for me, and know what to do if I feel lost/stuck again.
I cannot recommend Tash enough - having a coach is a worthwhile investment into the most important influencer in your life - you!”
Natalie - Senior Nurse Practitioner
“I signed up to a coaching series with Tash because my life did not feel like something I had control over, I was lacking vision and had vague future plans but it was impossible to view my dreams as a reality. After my discovery call with Tash I felt an instant connection - it was like talking to a big sister and she immediately touched on the areas of my life that we could address together.
During my coaching series it was so helpful to have someone guiding me, cheering me on, keeping me accountable, and keeping me on track. My life has changed for the better. I knew what I wanted I just couldn’t find how to make it happen. Tash is so kind, calm and composed, and no matter what state I was in during our series Tash was consistently future focused and guided me on towards my goals.
I will definitely be back for another series! A million “thank you” Tash! You are a gift!”

Steph - Senior Insurance Specialist
“Wow, where do I even start. Life before Tash was interesting. I had a lot of self-doubt in all areas of my life whether that be how I showed up at work, my relationships or how I allowed myself to feel when surrounded by family. I constantly tried to fill everyone else’s cup before my own which lead to me resenting a lot of people and constantly getting sick or injured.
Lockdown was confirmed and I was not going to come out of an 8 week lockdown the same person as I was when I went in (especially when I wasn’t my biggest fan). I had been speaking to a good friend of mine who suggested I do some of Tash’s prompts which she had posted a few weeks earlier on instagram – safe to say, the moment I did these I wanted more, I loved the way she asked questions and challenged the status quo.
I reached out and booked my first clarity call. I connected with Tash basically straight away, the moment she articulated how I was feeling so perfectly was when I knew I had to work with her. I signed up to 1:1 coaching sessions, they were meant to be fortnightly, but I wanted to see her every week!
I didn’t want them to end either. The amount of growth I was getting from week to week I can’t even put into words. She is worth her weight in gold! As I write this, it has been 6 months since I finished working with Tash. When I reflect on the person I was who reached out to her, I do not recognise her.
I am free. Free from the negative self-talk and most of all free from doubting myself in most areas of my life.
I say most because I would be lying to say I am completely free of self-doubt but I am damn near close and even though Tash will say I did the work and she only ‘lead me to where I needed to be’ I 100% wouldn’t have got here without her. You know the changes are real when your friends and family start noticing them within you and commenting on how happy and vibrant you are – that’s when you really start to notice the difference this sort of work can make.
Tash, I am forever grateful for what you have done for me, the confidence I have gained within myself, building the courage to lean into courageous conversations when I feel something doesn’t sit right and learning to fill up my own cup before I try to fill anyone else’s. Please continue to do this work forever – the world needs you.
Love always,
Steph”
Companies I have worked with:
Nicola - Business Analyst
“Before I started working with Tash I was moving around a lot in the UK, feeling a bit overwhelmed by not knowing what to do with my life and where my current relationship was going.
I was struggling with a lack of direction and confidence. I wanted to create a better understanding of myself, who I was and what it is that I truly wanted. I felt like I was going around in circles. Seeing little progress of change on my own. I knew there was more to uncover, discover and begin my growth. I trusted Tash. Through her voice and content, I knew this was my opportunity.
The biggest change I saw in myself was the awareness of my thoughts and confidence and trust in myself. I’m doing things for me which feel good and no longer saying or doing things to please others. My relationship with my partner (and myself) has shifted. It is loving, happier with less pressure. I am far more aware of what brings me joy and welcoming this instead of resisting it.
Thank you so much Tash. This experience has given me the space and awareness that I needed to uncover who I truly am and what it is I want to continue to seek and grow.
You have been so incredibly supportive and have taught me so much. I can't find the words to describe how amazing this journey has been for me. This is the start of something beautiful! I am so thankful that you came into my life when you did. It was perfect and I was so ready for it!”
Arneen - Business Owner and Coach
“I've been working with Tash for 2 series's now. It's been amazing and I can't recommend her enough as a coach. After completing one series I wen't back to start another with Tash and the results have been fantastic.
Her kind and consultative approach has been refreshing and her knowledge and passion for helping people whilst holding them accountable has made me really open up to how I approach taking control of transformation in my life be it big or small goals.
Tash has a pragmatic outlook on solutions but the intuitive ability to really tap into guiding her clients to make sure they are on track with their progress with amazing support and accessibility along their coaching journey.
She inspired me to really look into what drives me and what wasn't serving me in my life and I was able to reflect on some key areas of my life that I needed to be challenged on.
Thank you Tash for being you and guiding me through a really confusing part of my year. The effort and dedication you put into your work is moving and exemplary.”
Hannah - New Zealand
“Before I started coaching my life felt chaotic and out of control, I was suffering with anxiety, which was only allowing me to do the basic functions, I didn’t have any time or space to allow in anything else. I had lots of self-doubt, confusion over my career and generally overwhelm with my life.
I never felt good enough for anyone, my partner, family, colleagues, friends - always feeling the need to prove leading me to complete exhaustion and failure. I have tried different types of counselling, therapies and healers; you name it I have probably given it a go in the hope to find something to help put me on a clearer path. All of which have helped for a duration, but never been a sustained change for me.
When signing up I did have my doubts, especially as I have tried so many different things. The financial commitment to this series was one of the biggest sticking points; what if it didn’t work? Am I really worth this kind of investment? But realisation hit “if you’re not willing to do this and sort this out, who is?”. I am now a month on from my last session and I have had plenty of opportunities to reflect. My life has changed massively, I don’t have daily anxiety and if it does creep in I am able to process it and find out what it’s telling me.
I am now working towards a career that excites me and can’t wait to see where it goes! My whole outlook on life has changed (bold statement -I know!), I'm not the scared, road blocking self I used to be. The best Hannah has turned up for herself! I
am, what I need and what I want.
The possibilities for the future are endless! The best insight that I have learnt is that I am enough
and no ones judgements of me matter, I can’t changed their views so I let them go!”
Damiana - Senior HR Business Partner
“A lot of change was happening in my life. I was moving jobs after nearly 8 years and I found this thought quite daunting. I was asking myself many questions around the future both professionally and personally and I wanted to make sure that I had all the tools and took the time to focus on this and give it the attention it required.
I knew I needed help with this phase of my life. Many years ago I had done some personal development mainly through NLP practices and I had more recently done business coaching through my employer. I had previously met you and I had avidly been following your journey and development as a coach through Instagram. Your stories spoke to me as I know I needed someone that could challenge me not just from a work perspective, but that could also challenge me emotionally.
I had worked with coaches before, so the expectations were to outline some goals and work at those for 6 weeks. But with you it turned out very quickly into so much more. The empathy and support I felt and had from you was different to anything I had experienced before. Going into our first session I was extremely excited to finally reconnect and proud that I had taken the time and made the investment in myself.
At the end of the first session it was very clear to me that there was deep unhappiness in my relationship that I hadn't had the chance or the courage to explore previously and with intent.
Since finishing coaching, I have completely changed my life for the better. I have listened to my inner voice and myself and I feel a deep sense of calm for having done this. It is noticeable to many around me. The biggest change for me was taking time for myself and spending time witnessing the changes and noticing my feelings.
This has made me put 'me' at the centre and has helped me to slow down, re-prioritise and listen to that inner voice. It has allowed me to have the courage to take some big decisions in my life and change my world and my relationships for the better.
I will never forget the feeling (and the tears!) when you reminded me that at the beginning of our coaching journey I said I wanted to feel: 'Calm and less worried. Introspective and focused'. I remember on session 6 feeling deep happiness and calmness, knowing that I am following the right path and that I have done so by being focused, strong, honest, resilient and courageous throughout the process and throughout the 3 months.
I am still blown away by how much my life changed in as little as 3 months. Thank you Tash!”
Molly - People & Culture Business Partner
“I approached Tash off the back of one of her instagram posts sharing knowledge and insights around overwhelm. I had hit a bit of a cross-roads in terms of juggling a new job and was experiencing doubt as to whether continuing was the right choice, and if not, what the heck was I going to do.
Tash sent me some amazing reflective questions which in themselves were a huge help to channel where some of my confusion was coming from and get it all out there on one page. It was clarity and blue sky thinking about what was truly important to me. It wasn't that I didn't already know this, I just had it swirling around in my head, which is a bit less helpful.
When I had the call with Tash there were a few key things that stood out that were huge value add for me. It was that she was able to use a situational style within the conversation. There was a mixture of good coaching conversations to help me explore my thinking, good mentoring advice having had direct experience in a people related role, she came at everything with a strong sense of care, which ultimately enabled her to safely ask some pretty pointy questions that helped me to challenge some of my beliefs that probably weren't serving me well.
One specific example was exploring the idea of selling and how I must have had some experience that left me quite closed off in my thinking and openness to different approaches to offering my unique value.
Overall, I got off the call with plenty more thoughts and areas to explore in ongoing conversations. I was given confidence of the potential options I had in front of me that I could explore if I chose to do so, which I think ultimately was what I needed most at the time. Letting go of feeling stuck with no answers.
Even if you're not sure if you can commit to a long coaching series, I encourage anyone who is feeling a bit fuzzy in their brain or overwhelmed to reach out to Tash for an exploratory call, you will understand the value you can gain if it's the right time to step into it, and you will also walk away with plenty of value from the reflection and call itself.”
Breanna - New Zealand
“When I first connected with Tash I was struggling to make goals, not happy in my own skin and unhappy with illnesses I didn't know how to fix. I was over committing, not looking after myself and trying to look after everyone else but failing because I wasn't whole which made everything worse. I was lost.
I had never worked with a coach before and to be honest I thought 'what can you really achieve in 6 x 1 hour sessions?' I was skeptical to say the least but thought 'what have I got to lose?’. Tash talked me through what coaching would entail and her passion, enthusiasm and kindness made it such an easy choice to say 'Yes’.
Before our first session I was nervous and anxious, but after, I felt relief, plain and pure relief. Tash sorted my thoughts, gave me hope and positive direction showing me a way forward through my confusion. I was excited. The biggest shift I’ve seen in myself is I am kinder to myself and cutting myself a break finally!
I am putting myself first for the first time in possibly forever! This has given me clarity to focus on what is really important to me and make decisions on what I want to be doing in the future which is giving me so much happiness and hope. The way I would describe my coaching experience is loving, accepting, and hopeful.
Thank you Tash for helping me find myself again. The thing that makes me happiest in life is helping my friends and family and you taught me I can't help anyone if I am not looking after myself first.”
Ash - Australia
“When I first thought about coaching with Tash I was in this weird period of change in my life, I wanted things to be different but wasn’t sure how to actually get there. I knew I had done a lot of self work but there were some things that I still allowed myself to not succeed at. I wanted to create something of value in the world and start a journey to eventually be my own boss - wherever that took me. I wanted to be true to myself and live a life I loved.
Before our first session I felt nervous AF, in a good way, and by the end I knew that I wanted to make changes in my life, and I needed to do the work to get there - it almost solidified that.
Since working with Tash, people have noticed my shift in positivity and mindset, and commented on the energy I bring to situations which has been great! The biggest change I’ve noticed in myself is that I'm in control of my own thoughts and mindset and I can change the way I perceive certain situations in order to change my outcome (as much as I can control it).
I've remembered my mind is a muscle and I can flex it, and that I am very much in control of everything I want to achieve. Working with Tash and doing this coaching series has been completely eye opening!
I really enjoyed this, it spurred such change within me and really helped me realise what's important, what I can control, who I want to be, and how to achieve goals. The work is never ending, which I know, and I'm so thankful I got to share this with Tash.”
Briony - New Zealand
“Before I started working with Tash I was struggling with finding joy within myself, being content with what I had in my life, and I wanted to explore the idea of a small design side gig. I had never worked with a coach before, so I was unsure how much coaching would allow me to open up and speak truthfully, but from the get-go, it was a comfortable and warm space.
I was nervous but excited going into our first session and by the end, I left knowing I was worthy of this time and ready for the change I needed.
The biggest change I saw in myself was knowing what I deserve, prioritising myself and understanding what I needed to be my best. Friends noticed a shift in my confidence, assertiveness and in my general positivity.
If I had to describe my coaching experience in 3 words, they would be enlightening, empowering and special. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Tash!”
Lizzie - New Zealand
“Before my session with Tash, I was struggling with my money mindset and with attracting my ideal client for my business. I expected that Tash would have some helpful suggestions to adjust my mindset, but the results I achieved after the session were far beyond my expectations! It was like a road block had been completely removed!
I owe it all to Tash, and I am amazed that in just 1 session she was able to make such a huge impact on my life. Her approach is gentle and professional, and she knows exactly which buttons to press and what to challenge her clients on.
I felt respected and understood throughout the experience, but she also helped me to see the thoughts and behaviours which were holding me back. I can not recommend her enough, thank you Tash!!”
Megan - New Zealand
“I reached out to Tash to get some perspective on a big life decision I was facing. I have incredible family and friends but I wanted to discuss my options and thinking with someone completely objective.
After following Tash for a while on Instagram and talking to her in an initial consultation. I felt her values were very much inline with mine and her approach very professional.
To be honest I was a bit hesitant at first to spend the money on a life coach, as at this stage I had been traveling and not working for 6 months. However, it was one of the best decisions. Tash's insights were invaluable. She knew the right questions to ask and really made me question my current way of thinking and whether it really was serving me.
She was extremely professional and I really felt she went above and beyond. She is incredibly genuine and puts you at ease right away, making the sessions with her even more beneficial as you feel comfortable talking about anything!
Would highly recommend Tash.”
Danielle - New Zealand
“Tash is an incredible coach who has done wonders for my self-confidence. She has a proactive style of coaching that focuses on what you can do to be your best self. I felt like she was with me every step of the way during a challenging time of significant life changes.
Her authentic, genuine and warm approach made me feel hugely supported.”
Steph Rakuraku, New Zealand
“I thoroughly enjoyed my impact session with Tash - she had the ability to ask the right questions to prompt reflection and a refreshed perspective on myself and my situation, in a really positive, genuine and supportive way. I felt heard and understood and empowered to use new tools and understandings of myself.
I wasn’t sure what outcome I was looking for going into this session, but ended up with a refreshed perspective that will enable me to approach my situations at work differently. The proactive approach to coaching in this session really positions this service as outcomes oriented which is super empowering!”

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:
Strong Leadership Identity & Mindset
You will know who you are, what you stand for, and most importantly how to be the leader you want to be. You will know your values, strengths, how your mind works, and how to create an environment where not only you thrive, your people as well.
When you know this, everything gets simpler.
Relationship & Influencing Skills
Learn exactly how to build trust with people and how to influence them in a way that works and gets people to want to move for you (not manipulation, FYI).
Trust is critical in any relationship and what you learn here, you can use in every single relationship in your life.
Feedback & Courageous Conversations Confidence
You’ll get the exact frameworks, steps, and mindset shifts (the key) to give direct feedback and deal with issues head on.
You’ll start fronting challenges with more courage and confidence and actually see the difference it makes. Less issues = more engagement and productivity.
Effective Coaching Skills
Coach anyone in less than 15mins with a simple and effective coaching framework, template, and 100+ coaching question bank.
You’ll get exactly what you need to know how to shift your leadership style from directive to coach so you can create the best results. People do best when coached, not managed.
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) & Regulation Skills
Learn how to read the room, be compassionate, and regulate your emotions so you can move through literally anything that comes your way. And help your people move through it all too. When your EQ is high, how you lead is powerful.
It will make you impactful at work and at home, literally the secret sauce in the leadership recipe book.
Productivity & Success Planning Tools
Learn to structure your weeks for high productivity and impact so you say goodbye to overwhelm and burnout.
The simple success planning method, will teach you how to prioritise and focus on what truly matters, keeping your energy high and focused on the right goals.
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.
