Bio

Horizontal Tabs

Bio #1

Tanya’s always had an overwhelming need to see the bigger picture – to know how her efforts and energy in life were contributing to something more. After 20 years of not being able to personally do "enough" to make a difference, she left Corporate America to find her own path.

To fill a gap between large corporate programs and small business opportunities, she founded Small Actions Greater Good, a movement to bring awareness to Small Business Social Responsibility and to inspire and support a community of unified and like-minded Small Business Owners.

She believes that every action, no matter how small, can contribute to the greater good of the world. That the power to truly make a difference does NOT belong only to large businesses and Corporations or Government Agencies. That when Small Business Owners are united as a MOVEMENT, their power can truly make a difference.

Who says you can't Do Good AND be Be Profitable?

Get Out Of Your Own Way – Stop Believing the Myths That Keep You From Doing Social Good (Keynote)

There are 6 very common myths about Small Business Social Responsibility that prevent most owners from doing social good, or more good, through their businesses:

1. A business can’t be both profitable and do good.
2. Social responsibility only applies to Corporations or Large Businesses.
3. Social Responsibility is not worth it for Small Business Owners.
4. Social Responsibility doesn’t apply to MY Small Business.
5. Social Responsibility is too hard for Small Business Owners.
6. Why bother? As a Small Business, my efforts will barely make a difference.

During this keynote, Tanya addresses each of these common myths, discusses how they often prevent Small Business Owners from embracing Social Responsibility, and presents an alternative truth for each myth.

Accepting the new truths empowers Small Business Owners to let go of what’s holding them back and start doing easier and more effective social good (that also BENEFITS their business). Let’s change the world together!

If You Don’t Benefit From Your Social Responsibility Efforts… Don’t Do Them!

Small Business Owners rarely make business decisions that don’t benefit their business. Would they hire an employee who can’t do the job they need them to do? Of course not.

And yet, when doing social good (or social responsibility), very few business owners consider, yet alone plan for, how their efforts are connected to and can benefit their business.

In this keynote address, Tanya tells a story about an IT company making a difference in the world through building houses. Sounds great, right?

Well… maybe not.

She then uses this story to illustrate and discuss the 5 key elements that must be considered to make social responsibility EFFECTIVE.
