Testimonials

"Simply put Ann Tardy’s presentation was the most valuable instructional 60 minutes I have ever experienced. Ann’s delivery is crisp, fast paced and chock full of business-altering information. She punctuates this onslaught of strategy, techniques, guides, and how-to common sense with real life stories which establishes a sense of “we can do this together” camaraderie. Hiring Ann Tardy and LifeMoxie will not only bring value to your organization but it will make YOU look great."

"Ann Tardy grabs the audience’s attention from the very beginning of her presentation. Ann engages the participants, gets their heart pumping and knocks their socks off! She entertains them and her enthusiasm is contagious. Participants walk away with the moxie to make positive and tangible changes to their well being – both personally and professionally. I highly recommend Ann Tardy as a keynote speaker."

Moxie for Managers

Middle leaders are in a rare but often overlooked position to influence, impact, and shape people’s experience at work and ultimately their success.  Managers have the power to unleash moxie or squash it altogether, and it all depends on their own moxie.

Our Moxie for Mangers programs develop the moxie in middle leaders – those who choose to be extraordinary rather than complacent and mediocre.

Our unique program helps leaders in the middle implement high-stakes initiatives by navigating complexity in a bureaucratic setting.

Managers are in an essential, often overlooked position to help people be more effective in what they do today and ready for what they will do tomorrow: work effective + job ready. They have an opportunity in every day interactions with people to cultivate victors not victims, warriors not wounded, and workforce wows not workforce woes.

Applying behavioral economics, our Moxie for Managers program teaches managers to create and implement real-world solutions that work by learning how to influence the intrinsic motivation in people.

54% of employees say they'll leave their current place of employment as soon as the recession ends. There is nothing a company can do to prevent this. There is everything a manager can do.

Hey Manager - Can you afford not to invest in yourself and your people?

Empowered, connected people contribute back to their managers in ways that are unpredictable, bringing fresh, innovative ideas while being more effective, efficient, and enthusiastic. Work effective and job ready.

Our professional development workshops help managers move people to develop themselves, use their moxie, and stand out.
