Tara Renze

Tara Renze is an emotional intelligence and mindset practitioner whose work explores how individuals can unlock their potential, lead with authenticity and build lasting confidence. Drawing on two decades of leadership in the corporate and entrepreneurial sectors, she helps people shift limiting beliefs, silence self-doubt and create meaningful change, both in their personal and professional lives. Her early career at CareerBuilder.com saw her quickly recognised for her leadership abilities, earning a national sales leadership award and later leading training and development initiatives for new hires. She went on to found a multi-million dollar social selling business, Stella & Dot, gaining first-hand insight into what drives performance, purpose and connection across teams and individuals. Tara’s career now centres on helping others build the emotional and positive intelligence needed to thrive in a constantly shifting world. She works with leaders, sales professionals and teams to develop emotional agility, lead more authentically and foster cultures where people feel empowered to perform at their best. Her message encourages people to reconnect with their core values, take bold action and “be who they came to be.” Her insights are grounded not only in lived experience but also in academic study, with a degree from the University of Kansas and leadership training from both the Wharton School and the Kellogg Graduate School of Management. As an author and advocate, she also brings her message to younger audiences through children’s literature and community engagement. Tara’s work has been trusted by global organisations across a range of sectors, and she continues to shape conversations around emotional intelligence, leadership and self-belief with clarity, energy and a focus on what drives lasting personal transformation.
