Lifetime ACHIEVEMENT AWARD Tiffiany A. Frazier
Confidence Coach
The Tiffiany Institute, LLC
What do you feel are some of the biggest challenges that women face today?
Confidence is one obstacle that women struggle with. I feel that having confidence makes you feel good about yourself, and it can get you out of your comfort zone to find better opportunities. Lack of confidence can interfere with future success. The second challenge is not enough women in powerful positions. We serve as role models around the world. Young girls envision themselves in a high position of leadership in whatever occupation they may choose to do. However, they may feel that circumstances with location, family, and education may be a challenge to achieve this goal. Women need to join forces and help prove otherwise and support each other.

The best advice that has helped me in this lifetime is to keep pressing forward in whatever your passion is in life. Don’t allow your circumstances to get the best of you as you learn from your experiences. Take that negative impact from your past and turn it to good. What book is on your bedside right now and why?
The Bible is the first book that I have with me at all times. This special book helps me to live for God. The more I read the Bible the more he guides my footsteps to live a better life. The Bible refreshes my soul and gives me a peace that no one in this world would understand but God. The second book that I love is called, “What Your Soul Needs For Stressful Times” by Holley Gerth. This book will also help protect your peace and it has elegant metaphors that you can relate to in any area of your life. It is definitely my second favorite book. What advice would you give to your younger self?
To not allow people to control what God already has for me. Growing up, I was always eager to share exciting news with the world, with everyone, but of course that is not always a good thing. I have experienced overwhelming hurt from family and friends I thought I could count on. I have learned to keep my lips sealed and work in silence. Then, when I am ready to share with the world all of the things that I have accomplished, it is already done.
