Welcome to the Change & Evolve Letter
I am Tanja Boness — insatiably curious, moved by poetry, music, and the beautiful complexity of human nature.
After more than twenty-five years in leadership and change work, I’ve learned that personal and professional growth are never separate. They shape each other — quietly, continuously, and often when we least expect it.
The Change & Evolve Letter is a space for those who prefer depth over noise.
It’s written for leaders, entrepreneurs, and free-thinking professionals who care about integrity, meaning, and the ongoing craft of becoming whole.

What to expect from the Change & Evolve Letter
The Change & Evolve Letter reflects the same philosophy as my work: that we grow, adjust, and redefine ourselves continuously — often without noticing until something calls us to awareness.
Each week, I share one reflection on the themes that shape a conscious life: leadership and self-leadership, relationships, change, identity, and the quiet courage it takes to remain true to ourselves in a world that rewards performance over presence.
Some letters draw on my work as a coach, others on personal experience — as a mother, a woman, and a human being learning as she goes. At times, I will write about love, loss, purpose, or the daily tensions between who we are and who we try to be.
There will always be traces of poetry and music here — two languages that often express what words alone cannot.
Not every letter will meet you where you are, but I hope that most will make you pause, think, and perhaps see something familiar in a new way. And if you ever feel moved to share an idea, a story, or a song, I’d love to hear from you.
About Me
I am a coach and a certified iEQ9 Enneagram Practitioner who has spent most of her life exploring what it means to change and evolve without losing yourself along the way.
My path has never been straight and often not planned. I have changed careers, countries, and directions more than once. Each step — from travel and communication to business leadership and now coaching — has been part of understanding how people grow, what makes them falter, and why awareness matters more than performance ever could.
Change & Evolve was born from that process — not as a concept at first, but as lived experience. I’ve learned that growth is not something you tick off a list. It’s a lifelong commitment to honesty with yourself, and it rarely feels comfortable, yet is unbelievably rewarding.
I was raised between Germany, the Netherlands, and England, which left me with an affection for language, perspective, and the occasional understatement. I write because it helps me make sense of things; I coach because it helps others do the same.
This letter is part of that ongoing conversation — an exchange between the things we know, the things we feel, and the courage it takes to live in between.
