our story
It Takes a Village to Educate a Child (TAVTEC) helps organizations achieve workplace success and improve retention by building the mindset and people skills that drive performance. We coach traditional emerging talent and neuro-divergent talent about successful workplace behaviors, including: communication, business etiquette, teamwork, and interview readiness, so they can contribute quickly and confidently.
To reduce early turnover and prevent common manager pain points like miscommunication, missed cues, and feedback breakdowns, we also equip supervisors with practical coaching tools to lead a diverse thinking workforce. TAVTEC was founded by Sonia Marshall-Brown, whose personal experience supporting family members with hidden disabilities shaped a practical, results focused approach that prepares both the employee and the manager for long term success.
