"Working with Dr. Tanya Scott-Cannady was a turning point in my leadership journey. Transitioning from East Coast nursing to California nursing was overwhelming, and I often felt uncertain about navigating new expectations and leadership dynamics. From our very first conversation, she helped me overcome that feeling of being lost — offering practical tools and insight that transformed how I communicate and connect with my team.
As an interim leader, I know that learning and growth opportunities within a client organization are not always equal to those of a permanent leader. But with Dr. Tanya, there was no distinction — she engaged with me fully, treating me as one of the team. She saw qualities in me that I hadn’t yet recognized in myself. Through her coaching, she gave me meaningful tasks and purposeful opportunities that challenged me to grow. Dr. Tanya understood what I was capable of even before I did, guiding me through a learning process that has shaped both my confidence and my leadership.
Her approach is grounded in deeper, sustainable growth, not quick fixes. Dr. Tanya challenges you to lean into meaningful change—preparing you not just to lead, but to truly care for those you lead. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve become more than just a leader—I’ve become the kind of leader I always hoped to be"

“I wanted to take a mom and highlight the significant impact that Dr. Tanya Scott Cannady has had on my professional growth and success.
Over the years, I have transitioned from bedside staff to a assistant nurse manager, and now I have the honor of working in a managerial role. This journey has been both challenging and rewarding, and I owe much of my growth to the incredible coaching and mentorship provided by Tanya. Her guidance has been instrumental in helping me navigate the complexities of work-life integration, workplace politics at all levels of leadership and management, and enhancing my communication skills, both written and verbal.
Dr. Scott Cannady’s leadership has empowered me to develop a deeper understanding of the healthcare landscape and has equipped me with the tools needed to excel in my role. Her support has been a cornerstone of my career development, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to learn from her.
I look forward to continuing to grow and contribute to our team's success.”

She's not just an "idea person" - if she says she is going to do something, you can count on her to do it, no matter how big or small it is!"
