OFFERING 34 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN EXECUTIVE COACHING & MANAGEMENT CONSULTING

My approach to executive coaching is unique insofar as I basically write a short book for each client that is entirely tailored to motivating them to make dramatic and lasting changes in their key management and leadership challenges. Most coaches seem to believe that just telling people what their issues are as perceived and rated by others is sufficient to bring about change. It is not, and that is why their results are generally disappointing and short-lived. I focus on motivating clients to change. My insight and analytical skill combined with my compassion for my clients makes the difference between their merely understanding that a problem exists and their actually making the sustained effort required to bring about lasting change in long standing behavior patterns.

MetaMentor is a 28-day audio-guided program that simulates a coach’s activity and support while assisting a client to establish a desired new work habit or behavior. During free beta tests on iTunes, the program proved immensely popular rising to rank 3rd in the Career category and 32nd in Business overall.  The program also underwent a small successful pilot test at Harvard University’s Hauser Center for Non-Profits and two other successful pilot tests with participants in the Executive Education program at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.

“What I most liked were the cerebral tools that Tana described and that I practiced through the program. While the program itself is easy to use and simple at the surface level, the psychology of these tools and associated practices are extremely powerful and effective. I highly recommend MetaMentor for anyone who has some motivation to make a behavioral change. It’s a fantastic program.”

“With the confidence I have in Tana’s approach and complete trust in confidentiality, I recommended her to one of my direct reports as a means to develop executive presence and achieve the next level of career development. Tana’s MetaMentor program was not only very well received but incredibly successful in preparing this individual for a visible leadership role, so much so that a significant promotion was earned as a result.”

“MetaMentor gave me habit reinforcement. Every day, I had the incentive, support and accountability it really takes to make a change in life. And the combination of focusing on what that change will do for you plus the pain of what it will do to you not to change is a very powerful motivator. I not only built a new habit that I wanted into my life, but saw concrete results from it that I had anticipated would take at least 6 months.”

“I have been working on self-actualization for some years, and the MetaMentor program has been the most powerful tool I have encountered since Covey’s 30-day proactive challenge in “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” The format, the rational and the delivery combine to help somebody like me take a good idea and integrate it into my life. What is more the process is empowering in itself. Thank you. You have helped me to take a big leap forward in attaining my life goals.”
