Why Work With Me

I’ve worked in hospitality my entire career—starting in the dish pit.

I offer leadership development programs—through group workshops and one-on-one coaching—designed specifically for hospitality managers. These sessions are grounded in the real-world pressures of our industry and tailored to help leaders grow in confidence, clarity, and communication.

From new supervisors to senior managers, I create learning environments that feel safe, real, and relevant. The work is structured, practical, and human—anchored in over 20 years of hospitality leadership experience and shaped by contemporary thinkers like Brené Brown and Simon Sinek.

My career history includes opening restaurants for St John, Angela Hartnett and Jamie Oliver. I led the People Department for JKS Restaurants (Lyle’s, Kitchen Table, Gymkhana, etc.).

As a female-owned business, I bring a perspective that’s often underrepresented in hospitality leadership—one that values emotional intelligence, trust, and inclusive ways of working and is ground and centre for my advisory, coaching and mentoring services.

  • What Tania built at JKS within the people team was a legacy, shaping the way as a business we operate. With her understanding of the balance between the commercial needs and practicality whilst still protecting, developing and nurturing the people that make JKS run. Tania influenced positive change and shaped for us what are people department was then and still is today. During Tania’s time at JKS I found her to be an inspiring coach and leader who has the natural ability to build cultures, develop and nurture using her depth of experience within every sector of the business. She was what I call a game changer and Tania will forever be on my ‘dream team’

  • Having known Tania for many years, I can attest to her unparalleled dedication, expertise, and passion for the hospitality industry, and more precisely the importance of People and Culture in the workplace. In fact, she was my first ever mentor and the best I ever had. And to this date, I regularly use tips, advice and tools that Tania introduced me to. Throughout our employment, I've witnessed her commitment to coaching and mentoring and her ability to develop and lead large teams in complex challenges with grace and resilience. What sets Tania apart is not only her deep knowledge of the industry, but also her innate ability to connect with people on a personal level. She possesses a unique talent for understanding the individual needs of each team member and tailoring coaching plans that assist the individual in reaching his full potential. Above it all, what strikes me the most in Tania is her genuine care and attention. Tania doesn’t simply connect on a personal level, but also on an emotional level. I have no doubt that Tania's consultancy business will thrive, given her exceptional skills, and genuine desire to make a positive impact. Her personal touch, love and passion will undoubtedly set her apart to the other consultancy company out there.

  • I wholeheartedly recommend Tania to any organisation. As a key member of our senior leadership team, Tania's strategic insights and dedicated approach to people and culture have revitalised our team dynamics. Her influence is palpable, creating a positive and empowering atmosphere that extends beyond the workplace. Tania's commitment to individual growth and her talent for personalized 1-2-1 coaching make her an invaluable asset for leaders seeking to elevate their teams and inspire them to achieve their best selves. Working with Tania is not just a professional investment; it's a transformative experience that leaves everyone feeling empowered and motivated.

  • I've seen Tania operate on both sides of the "Hospitality & Culture" coin, operating as the lead manager for high pressure fine dining openings and within a less front line HR / Head of People role for a larger restaurant group. As an operator myself I've come to realise that this type of experience within people management is second to none, a rarity which Tania possesses in abundance. Her understanding of the practical application of people management, culture & development, team structuring, the reality of what it actually looks like both financially and on the floor outside of human resource textbooks and updates is really where her true value to a client sits, she just gets it, and she's successfully done it before! Tania is a natural people person and developer, I've witnessed first hand her ability to build and develop her own teams and masterfully consult on others, there's a grace and artistry in what she does and perhaps to her own personal detriment at times a modest and humble understanding that the bigger picture of the concept, team and environment is far greater than herself and any one person.
