Tana Goertz is an American business woman, inspirational speaker, business consultant, mental heath life coach and author with a record of proven results. Tana’s business acumen has saved her clients in excess of $600 million USD. Tana became a household name and a TV personality when she was the runner-up on both NBC hit shows, “The Apprentice” & “Reality Stars Fear Factor.” Tana showed the world watching that Fear was NOT a Factor for her.
Tana was one of the first hires on the Donald J. Trump for President campaign in 2015 where she served as Donald Trump’s original HYPE girl as well as a national TV spokesperson and senior advisor to him. Due to her winning record and HUGE win in Iowa she was re-hired for her leadership, trusted advisory and forward-thinking tactics as part of President Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign.
Tana left the political arena thrilled to resume her career as a professional speaker, life coach and youth mentor. Her passion is people and her purpose is loving them. She’s back on stage helping others attract success in their personal and professional lives. Her most popular presentations are “Rewriting the Political Playbook”, “The Art of Being Unforgettable”, and “God will NEVER Fire You”. Participants return to work “Fired-Up” and see significant improvements in their jobs, projects, and their personal lives after they hear her speak. As a personal friend and loyal adviser to the President for two decades, President Donald Trump said, “Tana is truly a star – she has that rare combination of laid-back charm and razor sharp execution she doesn’t put up with nonsense. Tana combines a ‘can-do’ attitude, spirit, and energy with vision and execution to propel individuals beyond their current limitations.”
Tana is traveling the country with her new memoir, “From the Basement to the White House” inspiring people that it’s never too late to reinvent yourself and start living the life you’ve dreamed of and that adversity allow us to prove ourselves. Tana has two grown children and lives in Iowa with her husband.

When Tana Goertz auditioned to be on The Apprentice, “Book Smarts” vs “Street Smarts” she believed she stood a chance of being chosen. What she didn’t realize was that she would need to beat out a million applicants to earn a coveted spot on the top-rated reality TV show of 2005.
Tana competed in an 18 week job internship with the world watching and went on to become the last standing “street smarts” contestant and a runner up.In spite of the fact that Tana didn’t win “The Apprentice” show competition, she managed to build on her “15 Minutes of Fame” in ways that few reality television stars ever do.
As a powerful entrepreneur, Tana took action during the hiatus between filming and the finale. She arranged endorsement deals, wrote a children’s self-help book and went on to build a new career doing what she believes God has chosen her for … inspirational speaking and life coaching.
Goertz shares her one-in-a-million story of how she used her “15 Minutes of Fame” to launch a new life and career serving God. Tana highlights how she’s living the life of her dreams in her new memoir, From the Basement to the White House.
In From the Basement to the White House, Tana reveals the true story of how she has drawn upon her tenacity and resilience to create a life of service to others and to God. It’s a powerful story that is sure to inspire and motivate readers and resonate with them wherever they are in their lives.

Tana Goertz Calls for Unity and Support Among Women Leaders

State Federation Presidents Meeting
Your attitude is your superpower!
Tana encouraged the leaders to make a choice to become more positive. She demonstrated how a leader’s disposition affects any organization.
Here are Tana’s reasons why a positive attitude can make or break a leader:
1. Your attitude is contagious.
Positive teams are productive teams. Therefore, it is critical to commit to a consistent positive attitude.
2. Enthusiasm is motivational.
When you are leading with a positive attitude people will go above and beyond what is necessary. When people feel appreciated, they become more confident and productive.
3. Attitude directs our relationships.
When you are positive, it’s easier to build a network of advocates and champions who are happy to be on the team.
4. Positivity creates resilience.
The better your attitude, the quicker you rebound after a setback. When people see your resilience, they feel braver and stronger also.
5. Optimism improves problem-solving.
Optimism allows you to see beyond the problem and recognize potential solutions. Hopeful people are less likely to wallow in frustration.
Tana is an entrepreneur, an inspirational speaker, a life coach, business consultant, author, devoted wife, mother of two, and so much more. But as listeners will learn, things weren’t always easy for her on the road to success. Over the course of the hour, Tana will discuss the many positive aspects of her personal story and the work that she has done and continues to do to empower other women, in addition to shedding light on the negative experiences that ultimately lead her down the road of reinventing herself for the better. Sit back and get ready for a power-packed conversation with Tana Goertz!
