Burn Bright Without Burning Out
I believe there is brilliance within every leader. I also know how easily that light gets dimmed by exhaustion, self-doubt, and the relentless pace of leading well. My work sits exactly there: helping you shine fully without burning yourself out in the process.
For more than 20 years I led teams across healthcare, government, and insurance, and I have lived the cost of leading on empty. Now I help other leaders find a better way. By listening deeply and exploring what matters most to you, I support you in becoming the leader, and the person, you most want to be. Sustainably, and on your own terms.
About Burn Bright
Burn Bright Coaching and Consulting helps leaders and organizations burn bright without burning out. Through executive coaching, leadership development programs, and culture and team work, we build leaders who perform at a high level and sustain it. Founded and led by Tania Zeigler, Burn Bright brings together a bench of vetted coaches and trusted partner firms to meet each client's challenge with the right expertise.
That same promise reaches the next generation. Through Burn Bright Rising, our coaching practice for teens, we help high-achieving young people build the clarity, balance, resilience, and confidence to navigate their most demanding years on their own terms, and to burn bright without burning out.

Coaching is its own discipline, distinct from therapy, mentoring, and training. Therapy heals the past; coaching starts where you are today and focuses on where you want to go. A mentor shares their own experience and advice; a coach asks powerful questions and trusts you to find your own path. Training delivers set content to a group; coaching is fully personalized to your goals and your growth edge. If something ever calls for support better suited to therapy, I'll say so and help you find the right resource.

That’s okay! While I typically coach on Zoom, I am flexible and happen to really enjoy coaching by phone as well. I totally get that sometimes you just don’t want to be on camera or perhaps you want to move while we are coaching. That’s great! I like Zoom coaching, because it allows me to notice subtle body language or elements of your space that may be influencing you or signaling something that you’re not expressing out loud. On the other hand, coaching by phone enables me to tap into a deep listening skill – creating a deep and clear connection between us, free from distractions. It also may allow you to let go of any self consciousness or desire to “perform” in any way. If you want to coach by phone, I just ask for about 15 minutes of notice by text, prior to the session.

Yes. Alongside one-on-one executive coaching, I partner with organizations on group and cohort programs, culture and team dynamics work, and retained engagements that scale across the organization.

Not at all. As a Certified Burnout Coach, I help leaders prevent burnout as much as recover from it. The goal is sustainable performance: leading at a high level without running yourself into the ground, whether you're already depleted or simply want to stay ahead of it.
