What Leaders Are Saying

"I wasn't prepared for the level of executive coaching that she brought to the table. Tara is an excellent HR professional, but her true gifts are coaching the executives who are reluctant to be coached. I am a better leader because of the support that Tara provides me. I am better equipped to build the team that my organization needs because Tara has helped me see how to get out of my own way."

Jenny Stonemeier, MJ

Mission-Driven Organizational Leader

"Tara Furiani was masterful at listening, understanding my needs and helping to craft a plan to support my case. She is approachable, constructive, strategic and has a deep understanding of HR and executive leadership functions. If you need an insightful and results-oriented professional, Tara is the one to call!"

Michelle Schuerman, MSL

Healthcare & Human Services Leader

"Tara recently presented at the Women in IP Breakfast at the AIPLA Spring meeting in Austin. Tara was engaging, thought provoking, and energetic while presenting to an audience of almost 200 people (at 6:45AM I should add!) Additionally, Tara was vibrant and easy to work with, and I would highly recommend her to anyone."

Michelle Fabry, Esq.

"If you want someone to give it to you straight, call Tara! Not only is she a great energy, but she's also real. Not in a manufactured way. It's in a I care and I'm passionate way. As an insurance professional I appreciate HR people that understand business and care about employees at the same time."
