About me

Change & Evolve — a practice built on experience, curiosity, and integrity.

My name is Tanja Boness — human being, mother, coach, and entrepreneur.

But more than any title, I am someone who has lived many versions of life — and learned to meet change not as a threat, but as a teacher.

For over three decades, I’ve worked across industries, cultures, and roles — leading teams, mentoring individuals, and navigating the unpredictable terrain of growth and reinvention. The common thread has always been people: how they think, feel, decide, and evolve.

I’ve seen what happens when success becomes performance. When leaders lose their sense of self in the pursuit of what’s next. And I’ve seen how clarity — the kind that comes from real self-understanding — can change everything.

That’s what my work is built on.

 

The philosophy behind Change & Evolve

I don’t believe in formulas or ten-step plans. I believe in awareness — the quiet courage to look at what’s real and build from there.

Every coaching process I design is as individual as the person or organisation I work with. My role is not to give you answers, but to help you access your own — with the precision of the Enneagram, the depth of emotional intelligence, and the practical structure of strategic coaching.

It’s a process that brings together reflection and action, insight and embodiment — because real evolution requires both.

 

The Enneagram as foundation

When I discovered the Enneagram, it changed the way I understood people — and myself. It remains at the heart of my work because it accelerates self-awareness without oversimplifying it. It cuts through noise, bypasses old narratives, and opens the space for honest, lasting change.

 

What I stand for

  • Integrity over image – saying what’s true, even when it’s uncomfortable.
  • Clarity over complexity – making things understandable, not easier.
  • Humanity over performance – leading and living without losing oneself.

These principles shape everything I do — with individuals, teams, and organisations alike.

 

If we work together

You can expect depth, presence, and practicality. You’ll be challenged to see yourself more clearly — and supported in turning that awareness into confident, sustainable action.

This isn’t about quick fixes or inspiration bursts. It’s about congruence — becoming who you already are, minus the noise.

If that’s the kind of growth you’re ready for, I look forward to meeting you.
