TOGETHER! Conference
I co-produced my 4th Women's conference TOGETHER! with two amazing women: Runa Bouius, Corporate Conscious Leadership Consultant, and Rocio Villalobos, Founder of VidroMedia.
Together we had an opportunity to work jointly with other phenomenal individuals and organizations such as Whole Foods Market Venice and Hollywood, WeWork Hollywood, The Skool, Blind Inc., The Conscious Capitalism Chapter Los Angeles, The Working Revolution, EFFI Foods, Groundworks Coffee, The Green Business Networking, NextSpace, Art Center College of Design, AIGA, DSJ Printing, Facilitation Graphics, Epos Inc., Stray Poodle Media, Iclandic Glacial, The Auburn Sky Imaging, Causecast, The Los Angeles User Experience MeetUp, Tribemint, and so many more.
The focus of the TOGETHER! Conference was to foster women's empowerment, development, leadership and entrepreneurial skill-building. The theme was: How to build a Conscious Business.

CORE UX Facilitation
I absolutely loved the collaboration with Rocio Villalobos, Founder of VidroMedia, where I spearheaded the UX facilitation for new and existing clients of VidroMedia.
What is CORE UX Facilitation?
The CORE UX Strategy was developed by The Skool. I use it as an easy, fast and efficient strategic planning framework to help creatives, solo entrepreneurs, and business owners create a clear brand and user-oriented strategy to implement their goals, reduce time, money and waste and generate an authentic brand experience for their customers.

KNOW YOURSELF Workshops
Over the last two years I've created a lot of content and launched various workshops for women where I combined personal growth and development practices with UX and Lean StartUp philosophies. My latest workshop was called KNOW YOURSELF, which I taught in Spring and Fall of 2014.
Focus: For women who want to learn a fun and easy process to find clarity, definition, and direction for a meaningful life and career.
Below is a snap shot of testimonials from a few participants:
“Tatjana's course is perfectly designed to introduce you to the power that comes from making time for yourself. It is a meaningful investment that provides the tools you need to start the process of purposefully defining yourself. I learned the role old patterns play in preventing us from expressing our true self. Through constant awareness and recognition - we can break patterns and live life as practice. The most helpful practices were around how to navigate conflict. I now know to be more conscience of what is triggering me to react instead of respond. I will pause to set an intention to deliver a genuine response rather than a damaging reaction”.
- Rachel Caraviello
VP, Programs and Services, Affordable Living for the Aging
“Tatjana's workshop is an amazing opportunity for self exploration, awareness, and appreciation. I think any woman, whether she is exploring personal or professional empowerment, will benefit from this workshop as a course in self-empowerment through self realization.
- Hilary Maler
Associate Marketing Coordinator, Whole Foods Market Southern Pacific Region
“Thank you for delivering such an inspiring and empowering course. I looked forward to the weekly introspection, connection, and inspiration, and appreciated the supportive group of like-minded women who were also seeking more clarity, purpose and meaning in their lives. It’s comforting to know that I’m not the only one trying to reinvent myself! The workshop was well-designed, structured, and organized. Your leadership and the weekly course material helped to catalyze inquiry, creativity, and insight. The interactive format provided a nice way to build connections and spark new thoughts and ideas. I’m always amazed at your ability to listen and hear between the lines. You synthesize what people say and articulate it back in an even more meaningful, enlightening way”.
- Ellen Vash
Sales & Marketing Representative

Senior Roommate Housing Project
As most of you know, we had a tragic death in our family last November of 2013. As a result I launched the Senior Roommate Housing Project. Did you ever wonder what happened to that?
Well, shortly after I conducted my first workshop in March 2014 to take assessment of our local seniors biggest needs, hopes and desires I published my findings on my blog and newsletter. Shortly after, I got connected with Sherri Akers, a powerful and passionate community activist in Mar Vista. We collaborated on the second workshop and within a short period of time Sherri launched the Mar Vista Community Council - Ad-Hoc Committee Aging in Place.
