Bio
Robin Smith
Tabetha is a creative, strategic, and visionary leader. She has a strong eye for the needs for the company and is not afraid to push people out of their comfort zones for the greater good. You may assume, then, that she's hard driving, focused more on results than people, with a serious minded approach. You couldn't be further from the truth. While she is driven and result focused, it's always with people in mind. She loves people, and gets her energy from them! As a leader, she is quick to share successes, and makes her team members a priority, knowing that when they succeed, she succeeds. She engages in their goals, and looks for ways that they can accomplish what's important to them. She will advocate for them, and push hard for each and every one. She has an amazing creative eye, and it's her signature in all of her work. She and I worked so well together, arm in arm in some major initiatives, but also in some fun projects (our "famous" podcasts still get comments). I am blessed to not only know her as a creative, strategic leader, but also now as a friend. Forever changed by our working relationship, we can now look back and smile on our accomplishments together.

Tabetha is a truly inspirational and visionary thought leader in the Talent Growth & Development space. The teams she builds, the talent she fosters, and the innovation she champions are the gifts she brings to projects that very few can bring to the table. Working with Tabetha has been a transformational experience for me - both personally and professionally - that I am forever grateful for!

I had the privilege of working with Tabetha Taylor for many years. During our time together, I worked with her in various capacities – boundary partner, client, direct report, and subject matter expert. In each capacity, Tabetha always brought a high level of expertise, passion, energy, and commitment that made her a pleasure to work with. She is a highly effective learning leader, a stellar facilitator, and an exceptional coach. Her ability to develop relationships and connect with others at all levels is a rare and valuable quality. Additionally, Tabetha is an inspiring leader who has effectively led large teams through difficult transitions. She is an out-of-the-box thinker who is always looking for ways to do things better and develop her team and those around her. She has been a great thought partner for me over the years and will continue to be in the years ahead. I highly recommend Tabetha!
