We recently connected with Tiffany Coleman and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Tiffany , appreciate you sitting with us today to share your wisdom with our readers. So, let’s start with resilience – where do you get your resilience from?
I learned to be resilient from going through real life in its most rawest form. I’ve been faced with so many adversities and challenges, emotionally, spiritually, physically – you name it.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Having humility, integrity and treating people well have been most impactful in my journey. You can’t go wrong with those three. I’d tell anyone out there to treat people with love, compassion, respect, and dignity. Be yourself and allow grace for others to be themselves when you’re in the same space. Iron sharpens iron so we should be teaching and reaching one another, learning and growing to evolve and become better individually and collectively. We’re so much more together than we are divided.
Who has been most helpful in helping you overcome challenges or build and develop the essential skills, qualities or knowledge you needed to be successful?
I learned much of what I know from my mother. She’s one of the sharpest tools in the shed! I observed and learned from her for many years, as a woman and as a professional. It’s one thing for her to be mom, but when she’s both mom and boss, it adds a different dynamic to things. I’ve spread my wings now, becoming a boss in my own right. I learned to earn my keep, work hard, and keep it moving. Thanks Mum!
