Live Your Best Life

Science meets spiritual truths. 
Practical tools built into habits lead to breakthroughs
in wealth, happiness and peace of mind – in record time.

ARE YOU READY?

Prefer DIY? 

My background is below, but all of the degrees in the world were not enough for me to find the peace of mind and prosperity that I have. If you have the same unquenchable quest and curiosity for life-long learning that I have, I encourage you to look up any and all of these resources. Go with your instincts – pick up what sounds most interesting. I can vouch that each one of them helped propel me further. You can still always try on the coaching work to see for yourself while also immersing yourself in self-discovery:

My Background

Tate Ringer brings her professional expertise, dynamic experience and a unique approach for programs that deliver results in record time.

I have a varied educational and corporate background that makes me uniquely suited to work with successful people who continually want to grow and improve. Professionally, I have been a part of small and large organizations, start-ups and consulting in various industries. My Master’s Degree in organizational conflict management from SMU, certificate in Human Centered Design from Stanford and certificate in Ai Leadership from Kellogg gave me a strong background to apply to a variety of industries and situations. But it has been my work with mentors, leaders, spiritual advisors and teachers that helped me apply these formal frameworks to real life success, happiness, and peace of mind.

I only take a few clients at a time outside of my professional role as a Chief Strategy Officer. Reach out to see if working together is the right next step for you.

You can have the life of your dreams.
High performers do not wait.
Now is the time.

Get the mental edge you didn’t know you were missing.

Test it for yourself.

“Tate’s approach has helped me see things about myself I never saw before with many of them being thoughts, beliefs or processes that
were holding me back from doing or having what I wanted.  She has helped me become stronger which has
enabled me to take on bigger challenges personally and professionally – and get out of my own way.”
