Meet Tara

If nothing changes, nothing changes.

Tara is an ICF-accredited, award-winning executive coach and Master NLP Practitioner. Since founding The Navigation Coach in 2017, her work has grown from one-to-one coaching into talks, workshops and tools that build clarity, emotional regulation and sustainable performance, drawing on neuroscience, somatic coaching and a year-long training in Compassionate Inquiry with Dr. Gabor Maté.
