WOMEN'S PROGRAMMES
"Tia = Energy! She makes you join one of her creativity sessions by curiosity and you come out with unlimited inspiration, genuine ideas and plans and with the enthusiasm and tools to make them happen. Tia’s workshops are the best way to combine the intelligence of the mind with the intelligence of the heart."
Oana Georgescu, founder A L’EST DE PARIS
The course s is a completely eye-opening experience! It is really pushing you out of your comfort zone and challenging limiting beliefs you have about yourself. & Tia is your best companion on this journey of self-discovery! Tia is really invested in the success of each client. She continues to be my trusted advisor and I can recommend her highly to anyone looking to make a significant change in their life.
This is a program that helps you find your ideal career by getting to the depths of who you are, what your skills are and what you truly value. Through building on these foundations (instead of job titles and external factors) you can better land on the career that would suit you as an individual. A truly valuable course. You will not regret it!
The good news is that I don't want to undersell myself!. This is brilliant!!! I would never have felt like this even a month ago! This is all down to you... Thank you!
"The programme I completed with UnlockYourBlock has been transformational for me and my professional life. Overall, it helped me better understand my skills, passions and strengths, but importantly the values that I seek in a prospective employer. The mental fitness element of the programme is invaluable and helped me challenge the negative thoughts and emotions that were holding me back in my professional career. Tia is masterful at encouraging you to think alternatively about what you perceive as blockers or hurdles within your life and career. She brings a unique mix of mentor, thought leader and practical advisor which I found really useful. This meant I was able to go deep into my skills and strengths and then bring them all together with a tangible action plan to help me instigate the change I needed. What I learnt on this programme will stay with me for life! Thanks Tia!"

"I found the Resilience Factor talk by Tia Castagno EXTREMELY useful. The fact that meditation techniques are backed up by scientific research makes it all more appealing, and seeing a live demonstration also convinced me that I need to take care of my emotional, mental, spiritual health on top of my physical health even more."

"I do not consider myself a creative person (more likely a numbers and Excel guy), but I think you've delivered the best presentation there. I really enjoyed and I think you were the disruptor at a disruption conference (hope it sounds like I have it in my head!). Thanks a lot for this experience."

"What was for me the most exciting part of Tia's make up was her focus on supporting teams with insights into how they could enhance and improve their wellbeing, mental health and life balance. She openly brought in her her own life experiences and demonstrated how people could benefit from these stories and unblock challenges they might have."
Lee Hawkins, Professional Coach & Mentor
"Tia is a great public speaker, she connects effortlessly with her audience and speaks with purposefulness yet she is always very simple and authentic in her approach. Since the very first meeting I had with Tia I realised she is such a great people person, always dedicated to give time and attention, very knowledgeable and smart."
Ilaria Nizzoli, Senior Content Manager, EMAP
"I have always been impressed by her ability not only to command the stage and deliver messages with complete certainly, but by her ability to understand context: that includes both the audience but also the journey her audience are taking; where they are going and most crucially where they want to be."

"As an archetypal Rugby playing media geezer, I was a little bit skeptical about a Friday morning Meditation workshop... but Tia put all my cynicism away: it was not only fun and insightful, but also incredibly useful. So pack away your cynicism and enjoy!"
