Testimonials

For the past 20 years, I’ve helped individuals and organisations to thrive. But don’t take my word for it. Here’s what some of those I’ve worked with are saying…

“Tania’s pragmatic and energetic approach has been, without a doubt, a key part of our success. It is because of Tania that HR plays such a prominent role in our company strategy.”

Annette Thomas - Chief executive, Macmillan Science and Education

“I have been on the executive of five universities, including as provost and chief executive. I would strongly recommend Tania as an HR/OD consultant and coach. Tania is a highly experienced creative thinker who has excellent interpersonal skills and adapts seamlessly to different environments. She would add value to any senior team.”

Mike Saks - Research Professor, University Campus Suffolk

“We were lucky to have Tania directing our HR and training at a time of significant change. The industry and our company were evolving rapidly to cater for the growth of technology-based media. Tania ensured we had a management and workforce up to speed with the needs of the market. Her skills in training managers and staff were invaluable. Her HR and legal knowledge, diplomatic but energetic approach, good humour and warmth were enormous assets.”

Michael Barnard - former deputy chairman, Macmillan Group

“We were looking for creative development for our leaders, and Tania came in to do a Lumina session. The feedback has been tremendous. The senior team think it’s the best 'training' they have ever had, and have been recommending Tania to our clients. Tania created an opportunity to explore challenging subject matter in a safe and open space. Everyone was engaged within two minutes (even the most cynical) and the pace, content and engagement was total.”

Sheryll Karpel - Director, HR Moves

“An accomplished board-level HR executive, I found Tania especially strong in two areas. In recruitment, she has a knack of identifying candidates’ operational and technical strengths and weakness and their real personality and fit with the group culture. She is also incredibly good at working with high-performing individuals to smooth away relationship issues or conflicts, thereby making a team significantly more effective.”

Salar Farzad - former global finance director, Macmillan Science and Education (now CFO, Zodiak Media)

“Tania came in to do a Lumina session and I found her charming, enthusiastic and encouraging. I felt totally comfortable going into depth about my personality and working habits. The session gave me lots to think about and learn from, and Lumina seems a great tool to help develop working relationships. It feels much more useful than other psychometrics.”

Katherine Melling - A&R coordinator, Universal Music Publishing

“Tania allowed me to identify what I really wanted from a career, and helped me translate that into a realistic career path. She helped me articulate my strengths and become aware of areas to work on. Her coaching builds confidence, but she also knew when I needed to be pushed. I am pleased Tania will be there to offer me support as I continue to build my career. I would recommend her to anyone who needs coaching.”

Duncan Sturrock - audio and electronics engineer

“I attended a development workshop where Tania used a blend of Lumina and Firo. I found Tania’s technique and delivery unique. She created a safe environment where participants were comfortable discussing issues at surprising depth. Tania’s insight and knowledge is profound and her objectivity and authenticity facilitated very productive conversations. I was left with lots to reflect on and an eagerness to explore further!”

Lucy Bull - consultant, PwC

“I had my first Lumina coaching session with Tania and found it inspiring and eye-opening. Lumina gives you a real understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, and insight into how you respond under extreme circumstances and who is the person you’re presenting to others. Tania is wonderful as a coach. She is caring and empathic and I felt safe to open up to her, knowing she would support me in my choices and goals.”

Peggy Guglielmino - MD, Highgate Holistic Clinic
