Tatjana Omanovic – Cofounder
Tatjana was born in Germany and grew up in Serbia while it was still part of Yugoslavia. Life under communism was hard and made harder by the specter of looming civil war. Overcoming repeated rejections, she immigrated to America at age 15, enlisted in the Marine Corps, and retired after 20 years of service to her adopted home. She settled down in Carlsbad, CA to raise 4 sons and inspire greatness in others.
Tatjana’s continuing education is focused on psychology and the human mind. Her greatest joys are found in learning, teaching, and inspiring others to their best selves. As an unconventional business coach, Tatjana uses her unique skills to quickly “recalibrate and jump start” both individuals in their personal affairs and entrepreneurs in their business efforts.
