About Tanja

Speaker, mentor, and creator of Inner Capital™, helping leaders build sustainable power from the inside out.

The Journey

I didn't set out to become a coach or speaker. I set out to build something, and like so many leaders, I learned the hard way that sustainable success doesn't come from pushing harder, but from building deeper.

My own collapse, the moment when everything I'd built seemed to fall apart, became my greatest teacher. It showed me that what we call "failure" is often an initiation into something more real, more grounded, and ultimately more powerful.

That experience led me to develop Inner Capital™, a method that helps leaders rebuild from the inside out, using nervous system science, heart coherence, and deep self-trust as the foundation for sustainable leadership.

"I learned that true power doesn't come from avoiding failure. It comes from the willingness to face collapse, find coherence, and build from what remains."

The Work

Today, I work with leaders who are ready to stop performing and start building. Leaders who've hit their own wall and know that the next chapter requires something deeper than strategy alone.

Through 1:1 coaching with the Inner Capital™ method, keynote talks on The Art of Failure, and writing that explores the intersection of collapse and coherence, I help leaders find the wisdom hidden in their most difficult moments.

How I Work

These principles guide everything I do, from 1:1 coaching to keynote talks.

🏛️ Grounded in Reality

No spiritual bypassing, no toxic positivity. We work with what is, including the difficult, the messy, and the real.

🌱 Transformation Takes Time

Real change doesn't happen in a weekend workshop. I work with clients who are ready for depth, not quick fixes.

💎 Wisdom Through Experience

I don't teach what I've read. I share what I've lived and integrated. Every tool I offer has been tested in my own journey.

🎯 Sustainable Over Spectacular

I'm not interested in helping you look good on the outside. I'm here to help you build something that lasts from the inside out.
