Thank you so much to Tanja and her team. I took the LEAD series course, and it was life changing. I learned so much about myself and others. They have given me the skills and guidance to lead my team to success. I would highly recommend Potentia HR to anyone or team looking to improve their leadership team.

I have been working with the Team from Potentia for quite a few years now and I can’t say enough on how much they have elevated our company. The workshops, one on ones, emergency phone calls have helped guide us and our staff to be a better team. Working with the experienced team at Potentia allows us to focus on our business and leave the human relations guidance to the professionals. Thank you Tanja and team for always being there for us.

I am currently in the process of working with Nora at Potentia HR, and I wanted to share how positive the experience has been so far. Nora has been incredibly professional and supportive throughout our interactions. She has provided clear and insightful information about the position and has been responsive to all of my questions.

Nora’s approach is both thorough and personable, making me feel valued and well-informed. I appreciate her dedication to finding the best fit for both the candidate and the organization.

While the process is still ongoing, I am very impressed with how things have been handled so far. I look forward to seeing how it continues to unfold and would definitely recommend Potentia HR based on this experience.

Thank you, Nora, for your excellent support!

Though I was unable to join in person, I thoroughly enjoyed your facilitation of the strengths and Wolfpack sessions. I found you to be incredibly genuine and truly invested in our group through all of our conversations, the questions you asked and the activities we participated in. I know hybrid sessions can be difficult on the presenter as well as the participants however I absolutely felt valued and included in the conversations and for that I am grateful. Thank you for your time, your care & attention, and your infectious personality. I look forward to being able to work with you again in the future. 🙂

I am proud to recommend Tanja and Potentia HR! Through coaching she encouraged me to speak up and show how the role of HR was much more than an administrative position. She was a big supporter and brought new ideas from her experience to programs I was working on including performance management and building a coaching culture with our leaders. Tanja was always willing to share her vast knowledge and her resources. Through our time working together she showed a passion for Human Resources that was contagious. I am thankful for the mentor/mentee time we shared together and we now have her involved in providing coaching to our leadership as well as engaging our team in various workshops.

I met Tanja as a student in the Master of Management program at UBC in 2017. She was tasked with individual leadership coaching and instructing career development portions of the program. Tanja posed the right questions at the right time to support me in making tough decisions. I have been able to look at challenges in a constructive way and my confidence has grown because of her guidance. I have improved at handling difficult conversations with the tools Tanja has taught me.

Student, Master of Management program at UBC Okanagan

I relied on Tanja for career development coaching for the better part of 2 years, during which time she listened to the challenges that I was facing, helped me identify career development strategies, and coached me through their execution. Her coaching assisted me in re-organizing priorities within my personal and professional life, focused my training and development priorities which have led to more free time at home and a promotion at work.

Mark Roberts
Project Manager, City of West Kelowna

We brought Tanja in from a consulting and best practices perspective during a season of transition in our Talent department. She did not need long to get up to speed with our realities, and was very helpful in fulfilling urgent needs, and longer range blueprint requests. She has a very friendly demeanour, combined with a get it done mindset. I would recommend engaging Tanja’s years of HR experience for your organization needs.

My experience with Tanja as a candidate for a senior management role was extremely positive. She conducted herself in a manner as a highly polished professional yet kept her approachability at a level that made me feel comfortable as a candidate. Her knowledge of the organization she was representing was impeccable and easily answered questions that I posed to her. In addition, she provided documentation to me for review in preparation and maintained constant contact throughout the recruitment process. I found Tanja to be extremely engaging and positive and would highly recommend her services as an HR Professional myself.
