All Things People. No BS. 

Our mission is simple… to create an on-going dialogue and affect change related to previously thought of as “taboo” topics for the workplace (like bullying, racism, good old boys’ clubs, sexism, and more) that often marginalize, harm & oppress Women, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ employees.



Real talk. No Fluff. No Ass Kissing.


"This is coaching, how it should be. Transparent, real, actionable, life-changing. It's the best money I've ever spent in my life." - CPO


"It feels like Tara knows you. Immediately. People have said it before, but she's so inviting and so emotionally available to everyone, her work is incredible and each member of our team talks about our time with her nearly daily."- CEO


"She's legit. That's the best way I can describe this boundlessly energetic and passionate Woman"- CEO


"Don't take it from us, take it from the thousands of people who's lives she's changed. This coaching is a small blip of the bigger work she's doing. Learn about that, and if you're lucky enough to have her as a coach too, then you're blessed"- CHRO
