ABOUT TANYA ANNE KESSLER CHAVEZ

Courage isn’t built in theory. It’s built in practice.One VP joined a leadership workshop at iFLY expecting an adrenaline rush. What he did not expect was a new leadership language.For him, the most powerful moment was not the flight. It was standing in the door. That pause before the leap, the uncomfortable space between decision and action, became a metaphor he now carries into his work:“The temptation is always to flee from that moment. But even having the language now to say, okay, can we pause? Can we stand in this door? Can we recognize the discomfort for what it is before we react? That is transformational.”This is the power of experiential learning. It gives leaders more than concepts. It gives them muscle memory for courage. And courage is the foundation on which all other leadership skills are built.And that is exactly what Leading on the Edge is built to do.I bring together three worlds most people keep separate: Parenthood. Performance. Parachutes. 🪂As a former Air Force Jumpmaster, executive coach, and mom, I’ve learned that the moments that shape us as leaders rarely happen in a classroom. They happen at the edge of our comfort zone.Leaders who work with me walk away with:🪂 A new language to help their teams navigate discomfort🪂 Practices to pause, choose wisely, and act with clarity under pressure🪂 The confidence to model courage and create the conditions for others to do the sameIf you are ready to jumpstart a culture of courage, let’s talk.Find your edge. Lead fearlessly.
