Leadership isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about staying human when the pressure is high and the stakes are real.

INTUITIVE, CREATIVE, JOYFUL & COMPASSIONATE

What is Executive Coaching

Executive coaching is a powerful, thought-provoking, and non-directive approach that allows clients to find their power within and step into their highest potential. By interrupting and challenging existing thought patterns through curious and intuitive questions, supporting a client through exploration and discovery, and creating a safe and sacred space, clients are able to uncover new, productive ways of thinking that drive forward momentum and allow them to achieve their goals and dreams.

Our Mission

To support purpose-driven leaders and entrepreneurs as they navigate the human side of leadership – creating space for clarity, perspective, and steadiness in moments that matter.

Our Vision

To contribute to a future of leadership that is clear, human, and sustainable – where ambition and care for self and others coexist.

Hi, I'm Tarra!

I am an experienced professional with 20+ years working in leadership development and coaching/mentoring across many fields including entrepreneurship, financial services, marketing and performing arts. With pursuing my passions and dreams at the forefront, hard work as my rocket fuel, and ‘butterflies mean go’ as my guide, a less than linear path has led me here today, pursuing my passion as coach and keynote speaker. My greatest desire is to support people in reaching their highest potential and know the power that lives within them; to be a sounding board, thinking partner, to challenge my clients’ limiting beliefs, and hold up a mirror to their brilliance.

Full Service Executive Coaching:

1:1 Coaching

At Innovative Coaching & Development, we work with purpose-driven, high-performing leaders and entrepreneurs when leadership feels complex, demanding, or consequential.

Our clients are capable and accomplished – often navigating moments that require clear thinking, grounded decisions, or difficult conversations. 1:1 coaching offers a space to slow down, see what’s actually happening, and move forward with clarity, confidence, and steadiness.

This work supports leaders who want to stay human while carrying responsibility – and who value perspective, depth, and sustainability in how they lead.

Speaking Engagements & Workshops

At Innovative Coaching & Development, we believe growth happens when people feel seen, supported, and challenged in the best way. Through lived experience and practical insight, we offer keynotes and workshops that are uplifting, matter-of-fact, and rooted in heart. Whether you’re looking to shift mindsets, spark meaningful conversations, or equip your audience with tools they can use right away, we create experiences that leave people inspired and ready to take action.
