Chief Empowerment Officer
I talk about boundaries, burnout and self-leadership for ambitious women and underrepresented leaders in corporate life. My candid, occasionally sweary keynotes help over-functioners, those “safe pairs of hands” burning out to keep others warm, ditch people-pleasing, take up space, and lead on their own terms. Organisations book me for real, transformative conversations that shift culture and behaviour.
Book Tanya
Tanya Moody is a keynote speaker, coach, and consultant on a mission to help ambitious women and underrepresented leaders reclaim their time, power, and sanity at work. Known for her candid, occasionally sweary delivery, she brings humour, honesty, and hard-won wisdom to the modern leadership space creating refreshing, real conversations that shift behaviour, culture, and self-leadership from the inside out.
With 25 years in corporate life, Tanya has worked alongside CEOs, Directors and senior leadership teams across complex, high performing organisations. Her career has spanned strategy, culture, and transformation, always with a focus on people. Since 2019 she has focused on the intersection of leadership, inclusion, and wellbeing, helping organisations navigate the messy, human side of work: from engagement and performance to psychological safety and belonging.
A qualified performance coach trained in leadership, executive and business coaching, as well as NLP, Tanya blends deep professional experience with emotional intelligence and sharp, practical insight. She supports clients and audiences alike in transforming reactive patterns like people-pleasing, over-functioning, and burnout into self-awareness, clarity, and courage; essentials for sustainable leadership in today’s workplaces.
Tanya’s keynotes and workshops tackle the subjects many corporate environments quietly avoid - boundaries, burnout, and the hidden emotional labour carried by high-achieving professionals. Her audiences are often the safe pair of hands: reliable, over-performing experts who keep everything together while quietly setting themselves on fire to keep everyone else warm. Through straight-talking dialogue and actionable tools, Tanya helps them stop playing small, set and honour boundaries, and lead on their own terms, without torching their careers (or their lives) in the process.
Organisations bring Tanya in when they want something more honest than resilience training and more transformative than motivational hype; the kind of grounded, real-world insight that inspires immediate reflection and long-term change. Her approach balances compassion with candour, leaving audiences feeling seen, energised, and armed with practical ways to protect their brilliance rather than burn it out.
Whether she’s speaking to a global leadership team or coaching one-to-one, Tanya connects on a human level, with empathy, humour, and unshakeable belief in people’s capacity to lead differently. She aims to help organisations usher in a new era of leadership: where success doesn’t require self-sacrifice, authenticity fuels influence, and ambition is sustainable.
A candid, practical session for high-achieving women who are one email away from walking out but still want big careers. This keynote explores what that “burn it all down” fantasy is really telling you – and how to redesign your role, boundaries and self‐expectations so work becomes sustainable and meaningful again, without nuking your life.
For the women who say yes, smooth everything over and then pay for it at 2am. This talk gives a clear, humane roadmap for setting and holding boundaries in corporate environments – with scripts, mindset shifts and practical micro‐moves that protect wellbeing and performance without blowing up relationships or your reputation.
Most talented women are cast as the reliable supporting act in everyone else’s story. This session shows them how to step into main-character energy at work: owning their ambitions, visibility and voice without having to become a loud, extrovert stereotype. Expect honest stories, practical self‐leadership tools and permission to take up space.
