Testimonials
Tanya has been supporting our business for over ten years, and the services she provides have become an integral part of the way we work.
We use both DISC profiling and Strengthscope in two key areas of our business. Firstly, they form an important part of our franchise recruitment process, helping us to better understand each applicant and assess their suitability for self-employment and running their own business.
Secondly, we use these profiling tools with new clients and business owners. The results give us valuable insight into an individual’s strengths, behaviours and preferred communication style, helping us understand where they may need additional support and, importantly, how we can work and communicate with them most effectively.
Tanya’s expertise and support have been invaluable to us over the years. The quality of service she provides is second to none, and I would have no hesitation in recommending Tanya and Vida Coaching to any business looking to better understand, develop and support its people.
