Tanya Mathur Bhattacharya

“I got the opportunity to attend Tanya's sessions on Storytelling & Executive Presence at Emerging leaders program by Indian School of Business. The online sessions never felt like a course-work but like watching a children's series, as it was entertaining and learning through stories. I not only learned how to elevate my presence and using story telling to make value propositions but also to reflect on the impact the propositions bring.”

“I had the pleasure of having Tanya facilitate a storytelling workshop for my team. Her deep expertise and passion for the art of storytelling were evident from the start. Tanya guided us through powerful frameworks and techniques in a highly engaging way, using relatable examples that brought the concepts to life. Her facilitation created an environment where everyone felt comfortable exploring and practicing their storytelling skills. We walked away with practical tools to craft compelling narratives that connect with audiences. Tanya's authentic teaching style and ability to make storytelling accessible were invaluable for elevating our team's communication abilities. I highly recommend experiencing one of Tanya's workshops.”

“Tanya is, hands-down, my favourite storyteller. Her ability to weave narratives is captivating, and she has an exceptional talent for building connections through her storytelling prowess. She has a story for every season and every occasion. As a facilitator, she is vibrant, engaging, and authentic. I have worked with her on our leadership development program for mid-career women and every moment was a learning experience. What sets Tanya apart is her innate ability to connect with a diverse audience on a personal level, creating an immersive experience that leaves a lasting impact. She is an agile designer who prioritizes stakeholder needs before anything else. To ensure a powerful learning experience for our participants, she spent hours ideating and questioning with us. Furthermore, she spent a few hours extra with us observing the participants to tailor-make the experience for them. Thank you, Tanya!”

“I worked with Tanya under the Nudge Incubation program for our organization Sols Arc which works in the space in inclusion of people with disabilities. She not only helped us build a pitch but really opened our mind to how stories can be so simply designed to not just state facts but how they can touch the heart. She has such an infectious and beautiful energy that we all connected with. Tanya you are such a star!”

“In her, I celebrate an enthusiastic Story Telling coach who truly partners and makes learning an enjoyable practice. Am a Big fan of her Story telling skills and how much she loves sharing the art and science of Story telling with others! Big advocate of Tanya, the story telling Guru!”

“Ever wondered why we like movies or videos so much? This is since they showcase a character almost as if they were in front of you. While the person may be acting, you can still get a piece of their humanity and infinite existence. Now, why did I share this nugget? I got introduced to Tanya through a program she did for Tiger Analytics wherein she was helping our generally serious tribe learn the subtle art of storytelling! And the session was so mind-blowing that we have all realized there is so much in this art we have got to learn. And when you read any of Tanya’s stories or when you listen to her telling stories, it is almost like you are seeing a movie, which you always wanted to see. The characters literally come alive as if they were part of an augmented reality show. And remember, she is creating that show with just her words, expressions and energy! On a deeper level, I believe the world needs more passionate storytellers like her to present the pressing aspects in our lives, with impact, to our stakeholders and I will certainly recommend her work strongly. You will also get a slice of her passion along with her lively stories!”

“Tanya conducted 3 story telling session with our team in December. As it was during pandemic, it was done remotely. At the end of 3 sessions, we all understood what the story should contain. Tanya provided checklist which helps to verify the story has all required ingredients. On-demand from team, we called her for group coaching in-person to our office. All the team members thoroughly enjoyed it. Once thing, I noticed about Tanya is her energy. The sessions went beyond allocated time, but her energy for the last person remain high as if she was listening to the first person in the day. One thing, i really liked about Tanya is "honest feedback" to participants. This really helps participants to understand and prepare better. In a nut shell, I want to say "there is so much to learn in storytelling and we get the value for every penny from Tanya". Thank you Tanya for conducting sessions to my team and helping all of us to improve storytelling.”

“Story telling is an age old art, Some people are born and gifted of it, while some have to learn it. Here comes Tanya from storywallahs.

Thanks Tanya and Ameen...I am so glad I have attended your session, and I am benefiting out of it every single day.”

“Storytelling is an art and stories have to be authentic, based on facts & data. This statement has been permanently etched in my memory thanks to the wonderful interactions with Tanya and the amazing team at Storywallahs! The Business storytelling session conducted by Tanya & Ameen Haque was extremely relevant for our organization as our Business Divisional leaders constantly engage with multiple stakeholders - Boards, Senior Leadership peer groups and employees to share updates (either happy, standard, tough news). Also relevant for creating strong business case proposals. The efficacy of the communication is exponentially enhanced using the concepts of Business storytelling. Specific highlight is the detailed feedback which Tanya shares as part of the workshop assignments - definitely pushes up the quality quotient on the thought process across leadership groups. Happy to recommend Tanya and team Storywallahs - great investment for those keen to improvise leadership communication!

“An excellent orator, a passionate storyteller, a grounded human being, and a lovely lady! I had this amazing opportunity to know Tanya 3 years ago. It was an intriguing session that I was a part of, and I instantly realised that I was learning from the best in the industry! The clarity and poise that Tanya brings in her sessions on even the most delicate topics, ensuring every individual's needs are addressed appropriately is indeed a rare skill. Tanya has the ability to connect with her participants at a deeper level leaving a lasting positive impression in the learner. She has never ceased to amaze me with her everyday stories, that are thought provoking. Tanya is definitely one of the best storytellers of this generation! Honored to have known Tanya and to be able to continue learning and grow through her!”

“Tanya was a delight to work with. Always willing to learn and grow and expand her skills. She was very dependable and often accepted assignments at short notice, in one case still turned up on crutches rather than cancel the training session such was her dedication to making sure that others benefitted from the programmes we delivered. Tanya's flexibility and passion for making others successful made her an excellent facilitator and coach and her pleasant demeanour meant that she was sought-after and often requested by name for follow on sessions. It brings me great pleasure to see how Tanya's career has continued to flourish since we last worked together. ”

“Tanya and I worked together as part of an Speaker Series that she facilitated at the Indian School of Business. I also had the privilege of attending one of her sessions prior to this at Microsoft. She is brilliant at reading and managing her audience, custom fitting her content for them, and above all extremely engaging. What makes anyone's association with Tanya special is her attention to each individual. She is warm, very friendly, and a patient listener. She excels in her role as a coach primarily because of her great oratory. She always leaves a lasting impact on all her audiences. Tanya's passion and commitment to each of her session is admirable. She remains calm and high on energy through all her interactions. It is always a pleasure working with Tanya, and I personally look forward to sitting through another one of her highly engaging sessions. There is always something to learn from it.”

“Tanya is great leadership coach and has deep insights on Storytelling. It's not frequent that you find yourself being captivated in its entirety during a workshop, especially online. Tanya can effectively grasp the attention of the audience through the flow of the session and constantly engages with the participants through seamless quizzes and polls. Even her self-introspective questions help in triggering thought. As an online coach she has a warm approach, perfect oration and comes with a well planned presentation. She very well prepares and plans the session based on the demography and interests of her audience. The gradual build-up of information curated to the demographics of the participants, particularly helps the audience relate to the use cases and has an immediate take-away. As one of the organizers for an online workshop on Business Storytelling conducted by Tanya, I have recieved one of the highest feedback on the brilliance and effectiveness of the session. Several have even approached me to connect with Tanya in order to discuss a workshop for their own organization. ”

“I l know Tanya to be a cheerful, approachable and competitive team manager. She has always encouraged and practiced transparent communication & strong work ethics. She has a flair for creativity and innovative design solutions. Her active listening and imaginative storytelling skills only add to the pleasure of working with her. ”

“Such an awesome facilitator! I've always admired her ability to connect with participants in her training sessions. Always a team player, there to support others and a true leader. Wish her all the best!”

“Tanya is an extremely versatile coach and an outstanding orator. I had an opportunity to be a part of a workshop on "business storytelling" that she was anchoring. She is an absolute pleasure to work with. Super energetic, a born artist (in the way how she conducts the sessions), deeply passionate and perfection (personified) as a storytelling coach. Her smiling demeanor, calmness of voice and clarity of thought won the confidence of all participants right from the go. The way she essayed her role as a coach, taking everyone along on a days' journey of storeytelling made us all converge on the impact, good storytelling could have on most business communication. I personally picked up key lessons from the session, which is helping me both professionally and personally. It is with great pleasure that I write this note for Tanya. Also take this opportunity to sincerity thank her and wish her greater success in the role she essays so well. ”

“Tanya conducted several workshops for PC Solutions and everyone found her to be a vivacious and a lively trainer with excellent subject knowledge. Kept the group motivated towards learning.Very hard working with an eye for details.Thanks Tanya for your good work!”

“For 14 years as a trainer I have always used stories while I train, it could be an experience or someone else’s experience and then I had the privilege of attending a workshop called ‘The art of story telling’ conducted by Tanya. It helped me realise the potential of how significant stories can be not only in training, but also in sales, customer service, you name it, it’s a part of how our minds are designed. This has helped me make an impact on the quality of lives around me. Thank you for this workshop Tanya. When used correctly, this has tremendous impact and power.”

“I attended a Storywallah workshop for nonprofits conducted by Tanya last week. Tanyas ability to breakdown the art of Storytelling in a nuanced logical manner coupled with the right facial expressions was endearing and impactful. While storytelling certainly requires practice, her pointed guidance helped me identify & understand areas that I want to improve upon going ahead. Post this workshop, I experienced and felt that storytelling is much more than using the right words...it’s the expression in your eyes, the voice modulation, the body language and an art that can be mastered with a facilitator like Tanya by your side. ”

“Tanya has been a great person to know all this while. We had done Campus to Corporate program with her, where she was successful to manage 70+ University Hires and imbibe in them the skills required to start their journey as professionals. She is amazingly proficient in her skills and has the ability to gauge the audience not only as a trainer but as a guide too. It is her "personal touch" with each participant and her "boost of energy" that makes the training hours a wonderful learning experience. We wish to continue to work with her in future as well :)”

“A brilliant mind, a superlative trainer and a customer centric personality whether it is professional, social or family relationships . Can connect at any level of audience and leave an impact on the audience. It was a joy to work with her and even today if help is required she is ever ready to standby. A true gem of a person.”

“Tanya is one of the exceptional facilitators that I've ever come across. She's someone who always make an extra effort to understand the client's "real" needs and come up with solutions that address them. She's highly engaging as a trainer and has a magnificent ability to remain in touch with the learners, remember their strengths & areas of opportunities and support them even outside of the assignment's remit. And she's an absolutely lovely person, which makes her a joy to work with!”

“Tanya passion and commitment towards helping people grow is palpable in every interaction that I have had with her over the years. She thinks and feels deeply, keeps herself up-to-date with the goings on in the world of talent development, and is an excellent communicator. I've had the pleasure of working with her as a colleague when she consistently demonstrated stellar leadership qualities in championing her sizeable training delivery team in two of our major centers. Apart from her people management skills, what stood out was her innate understanding of what goes on inside a classroom for maximum engagement and impact.

As resource provider for V&A, she was extremely clear with her knowledge and open to any suggestions. She worked on a project for improving the training quality and had some great strtagies laid out. I wish her all the best in her future assignments.:)”

She also actively sought feedback of her team's output, to ensure her teams are always looking at improvement opportunities to help meet and exceed TNI requirements. She is someone who ensures continuous improvement is an everyday function and is always open to take on challenges that need to be addressed. A very good person to have on the team and I wish her success in her future roles.”
