About
Tanya is a motivational speaker for hire in Gold Coast, QLD.
Tanya Curtis is a behavioural specialist and author on the Gold Coast who's been presenting since 2002, usually to people trying to make sense of behaviour that has stopped making sense to them. Her material comes out of clinical work, not theory, so the examples are real and the advice is something you can use on Monday. She speaks plainly and doesn't dodge the hard parts of a topic. Audiences tend to be carers, staff, students and colleagues, and the throughline is the same for all of them: every person can live to their full potential, whatever their diagnosis or circumstances.
The show
Tanya deals in behaviour, and everything she says on stage came out of the room with a client rather than a textbook. She is direct about it. Some of what she covers will land uncomfortably, because she says the thing most presenters step around, and that tends to be the part people remember on the drive home. The delivery stays down to earth and easy to follow, and you can take a piece of it back to work the next morning without needing a second reading. Her view is that all of us run behaviours we would rather not, which is why the material works on a room of carers, staff and students at the same time.
