ABOUT COACH TESS

Dedicated to a life focused on what matters most, Tess Horan has deeply learned how important a healthy organizational culture is to producing trust, commitment and favorable outcomes. When she was a professional in the workplace, she experienced the direct correlation between the culture a leader creates and their business results; the direct correlation between leaders who create environments of trust and empowerment versus overwhelm and stress. This is what motivated her to become a coach, her vision that business results come from creating a sustainable, generative and innovative organization deeply rooted in trust and support.
