Hi, I’m Tirza Barnes, Principal Trainer and Consultant at Tirza Motivates. When I started my career nearly 25 years ago, I had limited experience with these skills. I quickly learned that they are crucial for building confidence and climbing the career ladder. These skills have propelled my career, and now I am passionate about teaching them to professionals at all levels. 

As a Trainer, Consultant, and Coach, I am dedicated to helping professionals achieve their career goals. My programs are designed to drive continuous breakthroughs, identify areas needing improvement, and inspire the courage to make necessary changes to enhance performance, self-esteem, attitude, and results.

I understand the stress of underperformance, insecurity, imposter syndrome, and doubts about belonging and worthiness. This can change quickly with the right training, coaching, and tools—like those offered in the Raise Your Performance Workshop Series 2.0 Workshop Bundles. 

My team and I bring years of nonprofit experience and are here to help you and your team reach the next level of performance – Let’s connect – Click the button below to schedule an exploratory meeting with me!

Tirza also informed our DEI Staff Committee’s development of a working strategy and plan. She provided actionable steps to advance DEI efforts at our organization. Finally, Tirza has been highly professional, responsive, and proactive throughout our working relationship.

"Working with Tirza has equipped our staff-led DEI Committee to become more knowledgeable and vocal advocates in diversity, equity, and inclusion. Her professional development training and ongoing support helped us to create a DEI action plan and assessment to monitor our organizational efforts. She also facilitated three listening sessions to provide DEI exposure and foster a collective sense of belonging among our staff and board members. The listening sessions were highly engaging, and she got everyone involved to have difficult conversations about race, privilege, and workplace culture. Overall, her professional practices are rigorous, high-valued, and accommodating. Working with Tirza and learning from her has been a great pleasure. I look forward to working with Tirza again and strongly recommend that any individual or organization searching for consulting services contact her."
Jeffrey WinthalDirector of Strategic Partnerships and Foundation Relations, United Way of Westchester and Putnam
"Tirza has helped us to celebrate the best day of our year: theSkimms birthday. We take the day to pause, reflect, celebrate, give back and learn. She and her team's facilitation style allowed us to shift our mindset and think more broadly about ourselves as the powerful teams we are, but also about others and how we can drive an inclusive and deeply connected organization. She helped us pause and rethink how we define ourselves and what we bring to each other daily. It was electrifying! We still talk about our time with Tirza...two years later. Outstanding."

"The most important thing I walked away with after coaching with Tirza was confidence. Confidence in my abilities as a professional and confidence in knowing that what I have is enough to turn my dreams into reality. Initially, I had been intimidated about making a career transition from the restaurant industry into the corporate world. Through Tirza's energetic, fun and in-depth coaching style, I was able to target and eliminate any negative tendencies I had that were preventing me from achieving my goals. The extensive exercises on how to brand myself, getting clear on my values and setting personal goals that kept me motivated gave me the confidence and skills to excel in a business environment."

" I came to a point in my career where I felt stagnant. I was not getting the job opportunities I was hoping for. I took some time from the workforce for self-reflection, and that is when I met Tirza Barnes-Griffith, Tirza's coaching program helped me develop personally and professionally. I gained clarity in my life and for my future. I have now reached that next level in my career."

The Conscious Caring Leadership Program is truly beneficial, offering invaluable insights for everyone at our organization, no matter their role. The most enriching aspect was the sense of community—being surrounded by peers from diverse fields, all sharing their unique experiences. This program is a gift to anyone in a leadership position, but its value extends beyond that. Even seasoned managers with years of experience will find new ways to elevate their leadership abilities through the lessons shared. The focus on conscious and caring leadership was not just extraordinary but deeply humanizing. It’s a program that genuinely enhances the quality of leadership and fosters a more compassionate, connected workplace.
Elijah FolksEarly Care & Learning Council
Participating in Tirza’s leadership program gave me not just tools and tips but a supportive community that truly enhanced my management skills. The intentional questions challenged me to think deeper, the actionable resources equipped me to make real changes, and the nurturing yet accountable environment kept me on track. I believe this experience is something others can greatly benefit from as well.
