I deliver high-level, high impact, high energy keynotes, presentations, and workshops for independent thinkers, future-focused professionals, and fiercely motivated students. My audiences are full of people set on expressing themselves through business in the New Economy.

About Making Money Beautifully, Hello Etsy at Smithsonian Portrait Gallery

Tara’s workshop was fantastic. Tara helped me remember to focus on the customer. I used her advice at a recent craft fair to engage in conversations with potential customers which not only brought them into my booth but allowed me to ask questions and learn so much more about what products they were looking for. This year’s fair was significantly more successful than last year’s and I’m confident that was because I implemented Tara’s training.

I’ve been watching (and learning from) Tara Gentile for a few years now. She is a powerhouse, and has a way of speaking that makes you feel like she is speaking directly to you, and no one else. I admire everything she does, and proud to be one of her “pupils”.
