We were lucky to catch up with Tyra Gardner recently and have shared our conversation below.
Tyra , so great to have you with us and we want to jump right into a really important question. In recent years, it’s become so clear that we’re living through a time where so many folks are lacking self-confidence and self-esteem. So, we’d love to hear about your journey and how you developed your self-confidence and self-esteem.
As a child, my parents always told me to hold my head high and to believe in myself not being afraid to be me. I developed my confidence and self-esteem by utilizing daily prayer, positive self talk and affirmations to keep me grounded. I use daily journaling process my thoughts and feelings highlighting my strengths and areas that require growth.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

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?
The three most important skills of knowledge that has been most impactful in my journey is having effective communication, having problem solving capabilities and the ability to adapt to any situation with an open mind.
Advice I would provide people who are early in their journey that can help them best develop is not be afraid to ASK questions communication is key within all aspects of life business and professional. Secondly I would recommend to be able to allow room to adapt to change, make all decisions with an open mind and heart.
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
I am looking to collaborate with Educational Institutions Startup business Owners, Professional Service Firms seeking help improving their overall effectiveness, efficiency, and performance by addressing issues related to their structure, culture, processes, and human capital.
