Tara Renze: Be Who You Came to Be: Emotional Intelligence, Parenting & Authentic Living /Ep 4223

I help people be who they came to be.

For over two decades, I’ve studied and taught emotional intelligence as the foundation of confidence, clarity, and authentic connection—in sales, leadership, parenting, relationships, and life. After years of leading top-performing sales and leadership teams, I’ve seen it over and over: it’s not talent, opportunity, or intelligence that holds people back—it’s limiting beliefs.

And those beliefs don’t just impact individual performance—they shape entire workplace cultures.

In today’s fast-changing world, emotional intelligence training empowers people to break through self-doubt, show up with purpose, and create cultures built on trust, innovation, and real human connection.

Today, I’m a keynote speaker, author, and mental fitness expert helping individuals and organizations unlock peak performance through authenticity and emotional intelligence.

I’m certified in Emotional Intelligence through OKA, trained in leadership at Wharton, Kellogg, and the University of Chicago, and author of Be Who You Came to Be and the children’s book Be Who You Came to Bee (co-authored with my mom). I also host the Be Who You Came to Be Podcast, where I challenge listeners to get clear on what they want and go all in.

Whether I’m speaking at national sales conferences, women’s events, or leadership summits, my keynotes and workshops focus on one core truth: You’re not your job title. You’re not your thoughts. You are how you choose to show up.

When you show up as your real self—unapologetically and intentionally—everything changes.

My keynotes blend storytelling, science, and actionable strategy to inspire immediate and long-term transformation. Clients say my talks “stick” because they not only inspire—they work in boardrooms, classrooms, hospitals, Zoom rooms, and living rooms.

If you’re looking for a motivational speaker on emotional intelligence who will engage your audience, equip them with tools they can actually use, and spark real, lasting change—let’s connect.

Because the most powerful move you can make—for yourself, your team, and your culture—is to be who you came to be and lead in a way that gives others permission to do the same.
