For almost two decades, I worked across the government and not-for-profit sectors, motivated by a strong commitment to social change. Much of that time was spent leading diverse teams, including work in equity and inclusion areas across multicultural and LGBTIQA+ communities.

Stepping into leadership early in my career, I felt the weight of imposter syndrome and the pressure to have all the answers. Like many people working in demanding environments, I pushed myself hard, worked late and tried to meet every task with perfection in the pursuit of impact. Over time that pace became unsustainable, and I eventually experienced burnout.

That period forced me to slow down and reconsider how I was relating to work, to leadership and to myself.

Through that process, I began learning to pay closer attention to my body, my limits and my values. It fundamentally shifted how I understood leadership, inclusion and sustainability.

Tanawin grew from that experience.

The work I offer now - coaching for new and emerging leaders, somatic coaching and inclusive leadership coaching - is about creating space for others to reflect, gain perspective and make more conscious choices about how they want to lead, work and live.
