Executive Director at Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids

Founder of Tanya K Leadership Consulting

Tanya is an authentic and collaborative leader who has built her life's work around her education, experience, purpose, and passion for empowering people, organizations, and communities to be the best they can be so they can create good in the world!

In her capacity as Executive Director of Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids (BB4CK), Tanya feels privileged to be part of a team that is inspiring a city of people to take meaningful action, by feeding and caring for kids who would otherwise go hungry.

She has proudly led this successful and impactful organization through many opportunities, struggles, and organizational pivots for the past ten years with a vision that communities ensure no kids go hungry. As an influential community leader, across Alberta and Canada, she knows what it takes to practice the tactical and the caring side of leadership.

When she's not focusing on BB4CK, Tanya has a passion to help leaders have the courage to be more authentic and human-centered in their practice of leadership. The leadership paradigm is shifting to this way of leading. She guides leaders to learn more about how to listen to themselves, to know their purpose, and how to care for others so that they can be impactful in life and leadership. She refers to this as a “people-centered leadership” practice. This practice allows people to lead with authentic confidence to be their best selves in the effect they want to have and creates an opportunity to be better together!

Tanya is also a mom of 4 young adults and a spouse to a retired Tactical Police Officer. She can often be found at the little bunkie cabin they built, active in the outdoors, giving back to the people and things that mean the most, and trying to live life to the fullest!
