Reframing Imposter Syndrome With Tanya Geisler

TANYA GEISLER BIOGRAPHY

Tanya Geisler is an internationally recognized leadership coach, keynote speaker, and expert in helping high-performing individuals overcome the Imposter Complex and embrace their Trailblazer Complex—the powerful reframing of self-doubt as evidence of bold, visionary leadership. For over two decades, she has guided trailblazers, visionaries, and changemakers to own their authority and lead with unapologetic ICONIC impact.

Tanya Geisler’s work is grounded in helping leaders navigate visibility, vulnerability, and the pressure of being “the first”—the first woman in the room, the first to break the mould, the first to challenge the system. Through her signature blend of compassion and rigour, Tanya equips these leaders with practical, sustainable frameworks to rise without compromising who they are.

Tanya Geisler began her career in advertising, crafting campaigns for the pharmaceutical sector before pivoting to leadership development. Along the way, she saw a common thread: brilliant leaders, despite remarkable achievements, still doubted their worth. They didn’t feel like frauds because they were broken. They felt like frauds because they were out ahead—of the data, the evidence, the norm. What they were really experiencing wasn’t failure, but the Trailblazer Complex.

This insight led Tanya Geisler to create the ICONIC Framework™, a leadership methodology designed to help individuals align their identity, integrity, and influence. She’s since delivered transformational keynotes and leadership intensives across North America and Europe, serving a diverse client base that includes Microsoft, KPMG, Calvin Klein, Society of Women Engineers, Carleton University, and cutting-edge startups and mission-driven organisations.

Whether Tanya Geisler is working with a founder at a venture-backed company, an emerging leader challenging the status quo, or a philanthropic executive designing equitable systems, Tanya brings the same grounded clarity, strategic insight, and unwavering belief in their brilliance. Her clients span industries including technology, healthcare, education, media, and social innovation. What unites them? A desire to lead with boldness, purpose, and an identity that reflects who they really are.

A proud Canadian, Tanya Geisler holds a degree from the University of Toronto and is a certified Leadership Coach through CTI. She lives in Toronto with her husband, daughter, and three cats (though she’s still lobbying for a dog). Offstage, she’s an avid cook, floral designer, and seeker of honest conversation.

Tanya Geisler speaks on leadership identity, the Imposter and Trailblazer Complexes, visibility, and legacy-building. Her work doesn’t just inspire—it incites action. She calls leaders into their full power and helps them stay there.

Tanya Geisler Speaking Testimonials

For women leaders to fully harness their prowess, power, and potential, embracing their ICONIC nature is essential. Tanya was the perfect guide, illuminating the path for an audience of executive women to see and claim their strengths. Through her profound insights into the Trailblazer Complex, she didn’t just reveal our true identity—she insisted we claim it through action. Tanya equips you with more than inspiration; she leaves you with a framework to embody your fullest potential.

Suzanne Reynolds

Associate Director
Strategic Partnerships, Society of Women Engineers

Tanya was such a hit! The way she made connections of our personality traits to our imposter complex was significant. She made us look at ourselves in a very different light and find strength in areas we’ve been told to “work on”. The survey results from our attendees were nothing but positive AND they all wanted to spend more time with Tanya on this topic. I highly recommend her as a speaker and leadership coach.

Shaneon Hohenstein

Regional Vice President
Prudential

As a group of powerhouse women in VC, we don’t tend to struggle overly with a typical lack of confidence. But we have other challenges that Tanya spoke to directly. It was affirming to hear that we are trailblazers AND how to deal with the challenges that arise as a result of being the first out of the gate. Tanya’s POV on the Imposter Complex and Trailblazers’ Complex was fresh and she helped us understand our unique leadership edge and how to leverage it. We left feeling even more empowered, resolved, connected with each other and even clearer on our world-shifting mission. We all brought the learnings back to our work post-retreat and are applying it with our teams.

Caroline Hale

Senior Director
Citizens Private Bank

Tanya’s keynote and subsequent programming has been a pivotal learning module for members of Let’s Talk Ops, a community of first-class operators powering today’s leading venture capital firms. She has provided them with a powerful framework for discovering what truly drives/motivates them as individuals, and how to leverage those insights to show up in their work as passionate and confident leaders, problem solvers, creative thinkers, and game-changing contributors to their funds.
