Tanisha Stokes

Career Wellness Coach

My Journey: Breaking New Ground
Growing up in Racine, Wisconsin, I was the first in my family to graduate high school and earn a master’s degree. Navigating my education during the Great Recession without clear guidance taught me resilience, but I also realized how crucial it is to have support along the way. Now, I’m passionate about providing the coaching I wish I had back then, the guidance to help others gain the clarity and confidence they need to confidently navigate their careers and overcome uncertainty. This is the driving force behind my work as a career wellness coach.

The Evolution of Gold Ink Consulting
Gold Ink Consulting began with my desire to help people craft standout resumes. I saw so many struggling to communicate their value, and I wanted to provide that essential service. However, through my background in communications and my own lived experiences, I quickly realized that helping someone build a resume was only one part of the puzzle. True impact happens when people understand and own their story—when they can articulate their strengths and ambitions in their own voice. That’s when I realized my approach needed to go beyond resumes. By blending career coaching with holistic career wellness, I now help people not only articulate their professional stories but also navigate transitions, manage career anxiety, and prioritize well-being. This evolution allows me to make a deeper, more meaningful impact in the lives of my clients.
