Joe Fugere, President, Tutta Bella Pizzeria
“Tanya has the ability to strengthen a company's culture, which makes her a standout from most consultants, in my opinion. As I was starting my business, Tutta Bella Pizzeria, Tanya helped me focus on putting together a clear vision, mission and objectives for the business. Her strategic implementation consulting combined with her power to understand and work with people helped me get off to a very quick and successful start. She helped the people I hired become better leaders and set the tone for the team-oriented culture we have sustained 10 years later. So many consultants leave with nothing but a document or report. Tanya left us with a foundation for building what has now become 5 units doing over $10 million dollars in revenue, with high performing people, work processes and teamwork.”

“When I think about your valued added in the work you provide and the difference/uniqueness vs. other consultants I have experience with in my career I would say that these are your greatest strengths:
- You have a keen ability to connect with all employees in an organization. Not just "management". You’re a great listener, non-judgmental, approachable and your able to express that you care for the individual. This puts people at ease. When an individual is comfortable they are more engaged and more likely to share and be honest. I think you are able to do the work you do because of your ability to connect. You are able to build trust quickly which is a great behavioral trait/skill to have.
- From a strategy development standpoint you are able to fully utilize strategic planning tools i.e. SWOT analysis etc. to explore possibilities. You are able to facilitate discussions around the possibilities and help direct development and consensus building for a strategic platform.
- You're really strong at action plans -- who is going to do what and when. Strategy is great on paper but needs execution. You are results driven as if it was your company.
I think within these 3 elements people, strategic formulation and execution there lies your unique business proposition.”
Guy Russo, Chief Information Officer, CommunityAmerica Credit Union
"I had the unique honor of working with Tanya Rhone on the core competencies portion of our People Driven HR initiative. Tanya served as the HR leader helping our team develop and execute a plan for the identification, documentation, and acceptance of the strategic skill sets needed for each level of the credit union. More importantly Tanya kept the team focused on identify the relevant skills and competencies necessary to propel the credit union towards its desired future state. As a team we were under pressure to complete our portion of the project first so that all the other teams could leverage our work. Tanya made the whole experience a lot of fun and the team successfully accomplished its mission!"
