During our coaching sessions, we will provide a supportive and encouraging environment where you can openly share your triumphs, vulnerabilities, and temporary setbacks.

About Tasha
On Paper (a/k/a The Required Listing of Credentials):
Tasha Philpot is an academic and professional coach who specializes in helping individuals improve their academic preparation, leadership skills, and workplace acumen. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Marquette University, and a Master of Public Policy and PhD in Political Science from the University of Michigan. Additionally, Tasha has earned certificates in Sports Industry Essentials, Life Coaching, and Professional Coaching. She’s spent over 15 years in academia (see resume) as an award winning author, advisor, and educator. As a dynamic and engaging speaker, she’s presented to a wide range of groups—from athletic teams to political activists—across the United States. Transparent, direct, and compassionate, Tasha is dedicated to helping individuals and groups tap into their inner strengths to achieve their greatest potential.
In Person (a/k/a Me in a Nutshell):
Hi there! I’m Tasha and I’m a lot like you. I’ve always been a go-getter, but sometimes I’ve needed a little push getting going. But along my personal journey as a mother, teacher, researcher, mentor, and friend, I’ve learned how and where to find the resources needed to achieve my goals. And now I’m here to help others take that same leap from ambition to achievement.
The path towards success isn’t linear. It’s full of stops, starts, and sidesteps. And my journey has not been without my fair share of stalls, stumbles, and even falls. But what made the journey easier were the family, friends, mentors, advisors, cheerleaders, and front porch sages that shared their journeys and wisdom with me. And now it’s my turn to give back. I believe that success comes when we work together to achieve our goals. One of my greatest passions is helping people close the gap between who they are and they you want to be. I’ve been fortunate to have helped transition my clients into a variety of graduate programs, as well as careers in law, medicine, philanthropy, real estate, and athletics (both collegiate and professional). I want to help you do the same.

Testimonials
Guidance, mentorship, and an unbiased opinion that caters to your best interest–not only as an athlete, but as someone in the most pivotal stages of your growth process. These are just a few things that Philpot Consulting can offer you. I stand firm in my belief that every student athlete can benefit from having an unwavering ally like Tasha Philpot on their team. She helped me acquire the proper tools and knowledge to achieve balance and fulfill my desire to excel as a student athlete. She also challenged me to utilize my platform as a student athlete and helped me to see a dream of mine through to fruition. With her encouragement and support, I learned how to properly utilize my brand and start my own business at the age of 23, which also allowed me to raise money for under privileged youth in my home country (Nigeria). Tasha Philpot is a transparent leader who has a particular talent for building rapport among student athletes. She has established an open door policy, welcoming of all, with the intent to listen and help you develop into your best self. Philpot Consulting serves the individual, not just the athlete. I’m grateful that our paths crossed. Even though she started as my professor, she is now a mentor, but even more, a trusted friend.
Nneka Enemkpali, Assistant Coach
How can you quantify a business relationship that has given you so much more than the contract stated? Tasha Philpot is the epitome of a professional in every sense of the term. She provides sound advice and counseling when helping student-athletes plan their life after sports and beyond. She has helped me carve out a life plan outside of sports where I can leave a larger impact on the world. Dr. Philpot has become, not only my mentor, but one of my most trusted confidants in both my business and personal life. Her attention to detail and her ability to see who you are today and who you want to be in the future is uncanny. Philpot Consulting helps you move from the person you are to the person you aspire to be. Through constant feedback, critique, and workshop, she helps you set and achieve goals. Tasha Philpot is one of the most genuine people you’ll ever meet and that is displayed throughout her business relationships. She helps you make the hard decisions about your future while equipping you with the necessary tools to reason through all the options.
Bottom line up front: Dr. Philpot is the best this world has to offer in the field of education and professional development. As a senior at the University of Texas, I took Dr. Philpot’s class to fulfill a graduation requirement and had no idea she would end up changing, not just my life as a college student, but my career trajectory and worldviews as well. On a daily basis, Dr. Philpot challenged my preconceived notions in class and, while she did not change every view I had, she definitely taught me strategies to strengthen my arguments and to fully and eloquently state my position. She coached me to expect more out of myself than anyone could ever expect out of me and to chase my dreams no matter how far fetched they may seem. Simply put, she made me a better person.
I am now three years removed from graduation and into my career as an Air Force officer. I still keep in close contact with Dr. Philpot and I can see her teachings in my day-to-day life. I’m fiercely strong and researched in my opinions and, as a leader of an organization of 180 at 24 years old, I am able to professionally dissent and express my thoughts in a way that often brings people’s views together and enables me to foster a highly efficient and professional workplace. I can confidently say that I would not be where I am without Dr. Philpot and would, without hesitation, recommend Philpot Consulting to anyone looking for an education/professional development consultant.
