Tales from My Nomadic Digital Lifestyle
While visiting my town, I got the opportunity to get to know Tania and listen to her life story. The first time we talked she shared her journey with me, and before I even realized it, 3 hours had passed. She drew me in with enough detail to keep me intrigued but not so much that I, ever, felt bored. She painted a picture with her words in such ways that I could envision all the events she talked about. As an amateur filmmaker, I requested to film an interview with her, which turned out beautifully. She answered all my questions thoughtfully and clearly, always conscientious of the interview process.

To ask me to speak at your next event email Tania
I had an opportunity to both observe and experience another side of Tania's strengths. I watched her have many conversations with entrepreneurs over the two weeks, where she was both encouraging and uplifting as she helped them see new ways to build and grow their businesses.
Not only is she an incredibly accomplished, generous, and kind communicator, but she also has a God-given gift for seeing the strengths and weaknesses in an entrepreneur's business; pulling out strengths and gently suggesting corrections for the weaknesses. I would be the first in line for both an opportunity to have one-on-one coaching from Tania, as well as purchasing tickets for a business event where she was speaking.
