Name: Tonya Tiggett

Business Name: Promoting University, LLC

In a few words or sentences, tell me about your work:

I teach business professionals a 5 step technique which is a sure-fire way to communicate and establish their value add, so they are victorious in job interviews, performance discussions and in most business contexts.

Tell us three words that describe you:

Energetic, Enthusiastic, Feisty

How do you “live your brand?”

I ask for what I want and always seek to improve upon my own communication skills.  When I really want something, I find a way to make what seems like a “no,” really a “yes.”  I also promote others constantly and love doing it!

What are some of your favorite ways to be recognized for your expertise?

People who take the time to share with me how they used information I taught them to move their career forward in a tangible, measurable way. I also truly enjoy presenting, and that is one of my favorite things to do;  to be invited to speak at events or conduct workshops.

Tell me about the best business decision you have made:

To wait for several years before leaving my corporate job so I could make sure I had enough experimentation with my services and to not give in to influence and pressure to open an office outside of my home just for “successful appearance” sake.

And your hardest lesson you have learned:

Everything about running a business!

What’s next for your business?

Working on a book – so excited to do this, it has been a life-long dream to be a published author.

Tell us one of your take-aways from mentoring with Meredith in terms of living your brand and building your business.

Marketing is what you must do every day – it can’t be here and there. When I market on a consistent basis, it really works in bringing in more business and followers! Meredith’s knowledge of the coolest tools, like Animoto, makes marketing finally feel “doable” instead of like looking at Mt. Everest.

The “Behind the Scenes” Scoop:

Guilty pleasure: Paranormal shows and anything ghost-related. I love being scared!

Favorite hobby: Reading, traveling and all things Spanish.

All-time favorite musical, theatre production, book, movie or song – Why?
Jane Eyre is my all-time favorite book because it is the epitome of a strong, intelligent woman who finally finds love in a beautiful, heart-stopping romance from the 1800’s. Sigh…

Pet peeve: People who walk in front of you and don’t say “Excuse me.”

For lunch today: 4 oz. sirloin, sautéed green beans and salad = Left-overs from night before.

Just for Fun:

Dog or Cat? ¡Vivan los gatos!

Stilettos or flats? Stilettos, baby!
