Tonya L. is a Sr. Director, Travel Sales at AAA MountainWest. Colleagues describe them as "The three words that immediately come to mind when I think about the time I got to spend coaching Tonya, are professional, creative, and authentic. Her professionalism was demonstrated daily whether in working to exceed expectations for her trade partners or finding ways to better support her team. She brings her logic and emotional intelligence into every encounter and works hard to keep the lines of communication open and honest. That level of integrity sets her apart. Tonya's creativity is her secret to building strong relationships, as well as her own brand. She can create fun and inspiring video content, showing her personality. She finds clever new ways to say "Yes!" to the opportunities that will help both her and her trade partners grow. She will also measure that success and readjust accordingly never settling for doing things the way they've always been done. Her creativity elevates us all. Tonya is also very authentic. She keeps it real with everyone and is willing to have uncomfortable conversations, which is an under-rated skill. She is honest and sincere with her trade partners because she knows trust is essential in building sustainable relationships. Plus, she makes others feel safe and secure to be open, honest, and vulnerable. These 'soft skills' are a key to her success. I look forward to seeing her continue to challenge herself and develop, while encouraging and motivating all those around her. She wants everyone to succeed." and "Tonya is an force to work with, as she is gracious, strategic, and always eager to learn. Tonya and I have worked closely together since her start at The Travel Corporation, and being part of her professional growth journey has been awesome. She regularly takes feedback from external & internal partners, implements it, and makes that project or topic better. Tonya is a strategic thinker, resourceful. and kind. Having Tonya as a colleague is an absoulte treat."
