Tanya Stinson Helps Organizations Turn Complex Problems Into Clear, Sustainable Change.
A Lean Six Sigma leader, change-management practitioner, healthcare quality professional, coach, mentor, and lifelong learner.
One Question at a Coal Mine Changed the Direction of Her Career.
In 2007, Tanya Stinson was working at a coal mine when someone mentioned Lean Six Sigma.
Tanya asked a simple question:
“What is Lean Six Sigma?”
Once she learned how the methodology could be used to eliminate waste, reduce errors, improve processes, and help organizations perform better, she was immediately drawn to it.
That early curiosity became a professional calling.
Over the years, Tanya expanded her knowledge through Lean Six Sigma, business analysis, change management, healthcare quality and safety, risk, coaching, and leadership.
Today, she helps organizations and professionals understand complicated problems, improve the way work is performed, and create changes that are safer, clearer, more effective, and easier to sustain.
Her work is grounded in a simple belief:
When people receive the right tools, clear guidance, and meaningful support, they can improve more than a process. They can improve the experience of everyone the process touches.
Tanya’s coal-mine origin story and experience are drawn from her current About page.

Improvement Is About More Than Numbers.
Data can reveal where a problem exists, but people determine whether the solution succeeds.
Tanya combines analytical problem-solving with listening, relationship-building, coaching, and practical communication.
She works to understand the current process, the people affected by it, and the conditions that may help or prevent a successful change.
That balance allows her to work with professionals across organizational levels—from executive leadership to frontline employees.
