For Tashana Thompson, CEO and Chief Marketing Officer of Beyond Business Solutions, marketing has never been just about strategy; it has always been about people.
Her work sits at the intersection of relationship-driven marketing, brand clarity, and visibility development, helping women-owned businesses transform their expertise into lasting impact.
With a career rooted in storytelling, connection, and community building, Tashana has built a business that reflects what she believes at her core:
Visibility is not vanity; it is value.
When women show up fully and confidently, opportunities expand.
From Behind-the-Scenes to Bold Leadership
Tashana started Beyond Business Solutions after witnessing a recurring truth:
So many brilliant small businesses and nonprofits were doing extraordinary work, yet going unnoticed.
She knew it wasn’t about talent or capability.
It was about clarity, strategy, and the courage to be seen.
Her passion for elevating women’s voices led her to create a space where entrepreneurs could access:
- Strategic and intentional marketing
- Relationship-focused brand development
- Visibility systems that build trust and attract opportunities
- Community rooted in collaboration rather than competition
Through this work, she has empowered countless women to step forward with confidence, often after years of staying behind the scenes.
But her own journey mirrors the transformation she teaches.
There came a moment when she realized she was building powerful brands for others while still playing small herself.
She was speaking life into her clients, but whispering over her own brilliance.
It was the women in her circle who shifted everything.
Women who repeatedly and consistently told her that her voice mattered.
Women who reminded her to claim the same visibility she created for others.
That moment of awakening set her on a new trajectory, one marked by intention, leadership, and expanded impact.
The Work: Relationship Currency That Fuels Growth
Tashana’s signature approach centers on the Relationship Currency Method, a framework designed to help women nurture connections, articulate their value, and create consistency in how they show up.
Her coaching and consulting are more than strategy sessions; they are transformational experiences.
Her biggest challenge:
Balancing deep support for her clients while nurturing her own capacity, energy, and family life.
Her greatest reward:
Watching women expand.
Seeing them step into their confidence, refine their message, and grow businesses that reflect their brilliance and authenticity.
Those moments, when a woman finally stops shrinking and starts shining, are the fuel behind her work.
Advice from a Thought Leader: Stop Waiting to Be Seen
When asked what she wants other women to know, Tashana’s message is simple, and profound:
“Stop waiting for permission to be visible.”
Your voice matters.
Your relationships matter.
Your expertise matters.
Show up consistently.
Tell the truth about who you are and what you do.
And let your community support the evolution of your brand.
Because visibility isn’t a moment, it’s a practice.
IAW: A Network That Amplifies Women’s Voices
For Tashana, IAW represents three core values:
- Community – a place where women deeply understand one another’s path
- Support – a network that lifts, encourages, and celebrates
- Access – to visibility, opportunity, and genuine connection
Through IAW, she has strengthened her confidence and expanded her impact, both as a leader and as a woman committed to helping others rise. “The true magic of this community is not in the membership, it’s in the connection.”
