Christopher and Tanya speak candidly about ambition, identity, transition, performance and the ways our definitions of success can change over time.

Drawing from two very different high-performance careers, one in executive leadership and one on the international ballet stage, they bring lived experience, humour and perspective to conversations about achievement, reinvention and what comes next.

Their talks can be tailored to conferences, organizations, leadership teams, creative communities and other audiences looking for something thoughtful, honest and genuinely human.

Topics can include:

  • Identity beyond achievement

  • Reinvention and second acts

  • Success, ambition and the stories we inherit

  • Life during and after high performance

  • Leadership 

  • Queer identity, belonging and becoming

  • Creativity after structure

  • Redefining success when the old version no longer fits

SPEAKING

Smaller rooms. Bigger conversations.

Beyond the Applause salons are intimate, curated gatherings designed for the kinds of conversations that rarely happen at large events.

Part conversation, part connection and part collective curiosity, each salon brings people together around a central question or theme, with Christopher and Tanya helping create a space that feels thoughtful, relaxed and open.

Topics might explore reinvention, ambition, identity, leadership, creativity, belonging or the many versions of what comes next.

Salons can be created for private groups, organizations, communities or special events, and shaped around the people in the room.

SALONS

Sometimes the best thing you can do is ask a better question.

Christopher and Tanya bring different but complementary perspectives to conversations around performance, leadership, transition and identity.

Together or individually, they can facilitate discussions designed to move beyond polished talking points and into something more useful, human and honest.

This could include:

  • Organizational conversations around transition and change

  • Leadership development

  • Panels

  • Leadership conversations

  • Community discussions

  • Creative or cultural events

  • Moderated interviews

  • Organizational conversations around transition and change

FACILITATION + CONVERSATION

Make room for what comes next.

Coaching is already central to both Christopher and Tanya’s professional work.

Christopher works in executive, team, and leadership coaching, helping leaders navigate growth, performance and change. Tanya’s work includes executive coaching and high-performance development, drawing on decades of experience inside an elite performance environment.

Their individual coaching practices are separate from Beyond the Applause, but they share many of the same areas of curiosity: identity, leadership, performance, transition, growth and how we move forward when the old way of doing things no longer serves us.
