Tania Diggory is a woman whose name has become synonymous with burnout prevention in recent years. Having delivered keynote talks and training to over 400 companies via her award-winning organisation – Calmer – she’s adopted an integral role that sees her consistently providing tangible solutions to some of the business world’s least talked about struggles. Burnout and mental balance are two major hurdles that teams must overcome on a daily basis, and Tania excels at teaching them exactly how to do so. Whether she’s advising leaders through her corporate courses or connecting with attendees of her masterclasses, Tania brings some much needed compassion to the world of business management.
Having spent a sizable chunk of her career teaching others and observing how different types of people interact with one another, Tania quickly discovered that she was a voice that others genuinely trusted. So, in 2010, she took the leap and became a freelance presenter and speaker, primarily discussing Entrepreneurship and Women in Business for organisations such as Arab Women Artists Now Festival and Black Cultural Archives. Her charisma, partnered with her hands-on experience, allowed her to delve into areas that, until that point, had been relatively unexplored. Now, she’s proudly delivered in-person talks at events for up to 500 attendees, and has even provided a virtual talk to a group of over 1000 participants.
Before she’d even turned 30, Tania had run three businesses, but inspiration truly struck her in 2016 – the year that would see the birth of Calmer. Now a global-award-winning training organisation, Calmer is Tania’s conduit for educating teams on the importance of mental health and burnout prevention. Consistently praised by clients, the information and insight she shares has had an ongoing impact, made stronger by the two books that Tania has published since. Between her publications “This is Calmer: Inspiration, Support, and Encouragement for the Entrepreneurial Mind” and “Working From Home: The Complete Calmer Guide to Remote Working”, Tania spreads awareness of crucial mindfulness elements that are bound to motivate and inspire workers around the world.
Tania has invested a significant amount of time into understanding the human psyche, and more so how to translate her findings into workable lessons that can be applied to any business. Small, large, or even individual freelancers, her guidance centres around empowering professionals to be the best they can be, without exerting themselves in the process. Having penned articles for the likes of Forbes, The Guardian, Medical News Today, and Psychologies Magazine, Tania has outlined herself as a trustworthy keynote speaker who’s guaranteed to leave your event’s guests feeling ready to tackle any challenge approaching them.
