Tara LaFon Gooch, MBA, CVP
Chief Executive Officer
In 2022, I made the bold decision to leave my corporate career and fully embrace the path of entrepreneurship. This leap was fueled by a history of overcoming adversity and rising from humble beginnings to become a successful CEO and leader. My journey has been nothing short of incredible.
Since embarking on this new chapter, I have taken on roles as a professional speaker, launched a podcast, and collaborated with world-class leaders. Each step has been a testament to my determination to succeed.
In 2023, I published my first book, “How To GRASP Confidence & Own Your Power,” marking the start of my journey as an author and paving the way for many more books to come.
By 2024, I had the honor of delivering a TEDx Talk in Nottingham, England, entitled “Gratitude: The Foundation of Confidence,” which drew from the first three chapters of my book. This experience solidified my commitment to inspiring others.
