PhD, PCC
Optimistic. Energetic. Maximizer. Thoughtful. Listener.
Tatia is all of these, and her coaching reflects each in the most appropriate of ways. For some, coaching is strictly a profession. For Tatia, coaching is a calling, and the culmination of a career spent in spaces helping others recognize and leverage their strengths. Coaching is the intersection where her skills and talents merge with her professional and educational experiences to support her belief that partnership, preparation and practice yield success. The Granger Leadership Practice, LLC is the manifestation of her commitment to co-create strategically and purposefully with others their best leadership success.
“Dr. Granger has been a source of wisdom, determination and calm all bundled into one package. She provided the key that allowed me to open the door to my own world and helped me to get out of my own way.”
