Candace Croft
Ph.D.
WI, USProfessional Speaker ● Life/Executive Coach ● Published Author ● Consultant
After years working as a therapist, educator, and senior manager in non-profit and for-profit settings, Dr. Candace Croft chose to return to her roots and focus solely on her demonstrated expertise in personal empowerment. She founded Tabankhu to provide professional services - coaching, speaking events, books, and products - that assist others to align with higher living through personal and/or professional growth. Tabankhu reflects her delight for helping others become curiously amused, engaged, and enlightened by self.
The Illumined Bridge™ high-energy speaking events highlight several holistic life experience topics: Up Life's Creek Without a Paddle? Grab onto the OAR; Increase Your Love Factor (Even at Work, Without HR Consequences!); If I'm So Blessed Divine, Why Do I Feel Like a Freakin' Failure?; Soul Ninja: Spiritual Core Strength Training; Producing Your Award-Winning Team/Organization; Break Out of Your Mold: Designing Your Authentic Leadership Pattern; Reclaim Your Glory: Unlock the Power of Your Subconscious and Subtle Self; and The Right Stuff: Let Go & Simplify Your Life. (See complete brochure on our website or LinkedIn). She is available for media interviews.
She provides consultation to forward-thinking organizations on mindful leadership, strengths-based systems, humane relations, organizational stories, team production and direction, and peak performance.
Dr. Croft's signature question highlights her style of integrative coaching that leverages the principles of unity psychology—a combination of science, psychology, and metaphysics—that fuses all aspects of being and doing with awareness of how each affects and is affected by the other. Unity psychology and the PSI-BETA-BLOCK-R8 empowerment method unlock the secret keys necessary for life/work success. Both are exclusive to Tabankhu. Integrative life and executive coaching sessions are conducted via phone or video media.
An author, she writes the monthly online column, Living with Heart, and has published self-health books: Soul Gardening: The Rooting Years, Living with Heart (volume 1), Annalia's Simply Splendid Flight and The Tao of the Magician. Her self-health books have received positive reviews by Writer's Digest. She also has authored articles in peer-reviewed journals and popular magazines, including Spirituality & Health, Sedona Journal of Emergence, Journal of Adolescent Health, Family Relations, Health Values, and Journal of Genetic Psychology.
She received her doctorate from Penn State, Masters from The University of Arizona, and Bachelors from Saint Olaf College. Post-graduate training includes Leadership Development through The Chair Academy and American Association of Community Colleges, Appreciative Inquiry Facilitator Training, and Crucial Conversations Mastery. Her professional qualifications include being a registered healer, certified therapeutic imagery facilitator/hypnotist, Reiki Master/Teacher (RMT), EFT-advanced practitioner, certified therapeutic aromatherapist, feng shui expert, certified family life educator, and ordained minister. She holds professional memberships with the Women's Speakers Association, International Natural Healers Association, American Hypnosis Association, International Institute for Complementary Therapists, and the National Council on Family Relations.
The recipient of several speaking/teaching awards, she was featured in a recent issue of Women of Distinction magazine and on Power of Perception radio, was elected to the 2015 VIP Women of the Year Circle with the National Association of Professional Women, selected as the Cambridge Who's Who 2007 Spirituality and Health Professional of the Year, and was chosen to present the Distinguished Faculty Lecture, The Shaman Within, at Clarke University in 2000. Her training/educational films have won awards at the Houston and New York International Film Festivals. Other honors include being elected to Phi Kappa Phi, as well as listings in Who's Who Worldwide, Who's Who of American Women, Who's Who in America, Who's Who in American Education, The World Who's Who of Women, and 2,000 Notable American Women.
When not working, Candace can be found hiking, engaging in nature photography, playing piano, or enjoying good conversation over a libation with friends.
