Tara Beasley-Stansberry also known as the Transformation Coach is a small business owner and Small Business & Life Coach based in Northern California. Tara began her journey by serving on various boards and commissions to better understand the challenges business owners face personally and professionally. Tara delved into the small business world with very little support and backing. However, she insisted that no one should experience being isolated from resources.
Tara built strategic partnerships with business owners by serving as the Vice President of the Solano County Black Chamber of Commerce. In her role as Vice President, she coaches business owners on the importance of establishing business credit, sales & marketing, business structuring and public relations.
In addition, Tara has a passion for politics which came naturally as she watched her mother work tirelessly to combat the disparities and tragedy in Richmond, CA by running for City Council. Tara recently announced her campaign to run for Vallejo City Council. Tara has moved swiftly to address the issues citywide, specifically in her district by becoming a Board Chair of the Housing & Community Development Commission, Board Member of the Design Review Board, Chair of the Housing First Solano Board and Advisory Board member of Veterans Resource Program.
Being a part of these organizations has given Tara the opportunity to interact with stakeholders and elected officials. Her passion for the underserved community and small business owners is the reason why she works tirelessly to support the patronage of small businesses, creating a safe space for merchants to discuss ways to adapt to new business practices during the global pandemic.
In her downtime you can find Tara gardening in the community garden, volunteering at the Veteran Resource Program and mentoring youth and young adults ages 12 to 35 on becoming an entrepreneur and how to run a small business.
