• Do I have a clear picture of what long-term viability looks like— and the leadership and capabilities required to get there?
• Do I know what capabilities we’ll need over
the next five years, and do we have a clear succession pipeline to protect continuity?
• Are our people systems strong enough to reduce key-person risk, close leadership gaps, and ensure knowledge transfer?
• Are we building a mentorship culture that accelerates readiness, develops future leaders, and improves retention?
• Are our hiring and talent strategies truly
aligned with our organizational objectives?
• Am I creating a culture that drives engagement, accountability, and
commitment to our organization’s future?
If this resonates with you, let’s chat.

You may be asking yourself:
Everyone was impacted by the challenges and
shared the wins. This inspired me to want to help organizations, teams, and individuals thrive.
I understand the realities of running organizations and the human impact behind every decision, and
I am committed to contributing to healthy workplaces and the communities they serve.
I partner with organizations and leaders to clarify roles, strengthen leadership capability, and design people systems that work in practice—not just on paper. My work can help you reduce risk, improve efficiency, and build cultures that support performance, engagement, and sustainable growth.
I am a results-focused organizational psychologist
with over 10 years of experience in organizational development, succession planning, change management, talent and leadership development.
I have led strategic initiatives across retail, healthcare, utilities, nonprofits, and small
businesses—facilitating both short-term
and long-term transformations
that drive measurable impact.
I grew up watching my mother run a mid-sized family business and learned at a young age that creating a positive workplace that is aligned with overall objectives is not only critical to drive sustainability and growth, but it can also have a significant impact on people's lives, including owners, leaders, staff, their families, customers, business partners, and surrounding communities.

I work with organizations to clarify roles, responsibilities, and workflows to improve alignment, reduce inefficiencies, and strengthen the succession pipeline—while also increasing capability to leverage AI as a practical tool for process enhancement and smarter execution.
This includes reviewing and redesigning
job descriptions, identifying critical
roles and capability gaps, addressing
redundancies or overlaps, and facilitating
RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) and role-alignment sessions.
I also support teams in identifying where AI
can meaningfully improve decision-making,
workflow efficiency, and knowledge transfer,
while establishing guardrails to ensure AI
is used appropriately and not applied in
ways that create noise, risk, or low-value work.
The outcome is clear accountability, stronger handoffs, improved process performance, and targeted capability-building plans—ensuring people are supported to deliver today, while being intentionally developed for tomorrow.

Gary Thandi, Moving Forward Family Services
Tanis saw that the non-profit I started, Moving Forward Family Services,
being in a start-up phase, needed some support around infrastructure
and organization, and connected me to a professional group of volunteers
(BC Organization Development Network) that helped
to develop policies around risk management.
More recently, Tanis joined the MFFS Board of Directors, where she continues
to provide leadership around strategic planning. In the years I have known
Tanis I have found her to be thoughtful, insightful, driven,
and an excellent leader who is able to set pragmatic yet
transformative goals that will benefit our diverse communities.
