Taz Thornton is an award-winning empowerment coach, speaker, and author recognised as one of the UK’s leading voices on confidence, personal branding, and visibility. Named a LinkedIn Top Voice in 2024, she has built a reputation as the “pink powerhouse” who helps individuals and organisations break through fear, rediscover their self-belief, and step into authentic success. With a track record of inspiring change across global conferences, corporate events, and one-to-one coaching, Taz has become one of the most sought-after keynote speakers on empowerment and leadership.
Her story is as powerful as the lessons she delivers. After years of domestic abuse, depression, and a near-fatal car crash that left her with a broken back, Taz rebuilt her life from breakdown to breakthrough. Choosing to transform adversity into fuel, she trained in Neuro Linguistic Programming, explored traditional healing practices, and invested deeply in personal development. That journey led to the creation of her #UnleashYourAwesome workshops and events, which have empowered countless people to leave behind limiting beliefs and embrace confidence, resilience, and visibility.
Taz has authored several books, including ‘Whispers From The Earth’ and ‘Unleash Your Awesome’, blending storytelling with practical guidance on personal growth. She is also a three-time TEDx speaker, delivering talks such as “A Dangerous Rainbow” and “The Importance of Being Silly“, which challenge perceptions of identity, confidence, and self-expression. Her influence has been recognised widely: she has been named Female Professional of the Year, listed on the DIVA Power List, highlighted among the Top 50 Women in Marketing, and shortlisted for multiple national diversity and business awards.
Today, Taz continues to inspire through speaking, writing, and coaching at the highest level. She has written for national outlets such as Metro and been featured in The Mirror and Chat Magazine, while also co-hosting international media platforms. Known for her dynamic stage presence, humour, and authenticity, she brings a unique combination of business acumen, life experience, and extreme empowerment practices—such as firewalking—to her sessions. Whether guiding executives to build stronger brands or encouraging individuals to step boldly into visibility, Taz Thornton equips her audiences with tools to create extraordinary change.
