Tiffany Bio:
Tiffany Waddell Tate, CEO of Career Maven Consulting, is a leader in the worlds of professional development, talent retention, and improving the cultural competence of organizations and teams. Skilled at developing, facilitating, and reforming programming to close wage, achievement, and equity gaps, Tiffany is on a mission to change the professional trajectory of 1 million women’s lives.
Tiffany's experience navigating Higher Education to identify allies, champions, and a career path has fueled her passion to develop and prepare high potential candidates for organizations ready to nurture them. She does this by operating two distinct lanes with her company, Career Maven Consulting– one for individuals seeking professional development support and the other for companies seeking to attract and retain top talent. To date, Tiffany has led the transformation and development of several workforces, performance, and training plans for Fortune 500 companies. She has also designed career branding documents and facilitated coaching that doubled and tripled the salaries of women struggling to move out of entry-level or middle management roles.
Clients describe Tiffany as reliable, enthusiastic, and the push necessary to take their career, talent, and employees to the next level. Friends describe her as compassionate, enthusiastic, and committed to excellence. Tiffany describes herself as the “CEO of her personal and professional life” – and she encourages others to recognize the same agency as owners and makers of their career stories. Tiffany credits Oprah Winfrey’s journey as inspiration, helping her to recognize there are tables, seats, and rooms that she must build instead of waiting for an invitation to join.
Regarded as a subject matter expert in career development and talent retention, Tiffany has been featured in Forbes, Today.com, Well + Good, The Everygirl, and Martha Stewart Magazine.
As a leader and community change agent, Tiffany has served as the President of the Wake Forest University Association of Black Alumni, the President of the North Carolina Association of Colleges and Employers, and as a founding board member of REACH Women's Network.
When Tiffany isn’t creating change for clients and corporations at the intersection of talent acquisition, organizational behavior, and inclusive excellence, she’s spending time with her daughter, gardening, trying new recipes, or riding her spin bike.
