Ms. Bailor is out to make an impact. She launched her consultancy at the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic to make an even greater impact and help more than one company at a time. Growth strategy is how she thinks, it’s what she does. And it’s what she does very well.
Ms. Bailor’s philanthropic purpose comes from her past. After living a traumatic childhood, Sonya’s parents began taking her to motivational conferences as a teenager to empower her with the
knowledge, skills, and mindset to rise above her difficult circumstances. As entrepreneurs
themselves, they ingrained into her the work ethic of ownership and servant leadership. She has served on the boards of nonprofits such as Prevent Child Abuse Tennessee and The Star Gala for Education. She has helped with fundraising efforts for organizations such as NFL Alumni Charities, Caring for Kids, American Cancer Society, Sexual Assault Center (RASAC), and K9s for Warriors.
Sonya Bailor is passionate about fostering a supportive and trusting community for business leaders. As a Vistage Chair, she facilitates monthly peer advisory group meetings and provides one-on-one executive coaching, creating a space for candid discussions and targeted professional development.
Vistage is the world’s largest CEO coaching and peer advisory organization for small and midsize businesses. As a part of this global community of over 45,000 business leaders, Sonya offers her group members access to thought leadership from expert speakers, networking events, and a shared wisdom that is unparalleled.
Sonya Bailor has been honored to lead growth strategy, strategic planning, leadership development, and change management for companies ranging from small start-ups to Fortune 500’s over the last 20 years. Her client list includes industries in healthcare, technology, consumer goods, professional sports, government services, beauty and wellness, and more. She has built a proven track record of transformational results through coaching and consulting both individuals and business clients. Sonya has always been very involved in the local community, giving back through board service at various nonprofits that fit into her personal mission of protecting and empowering woman and children, most recently as the board vice president of marketing & strategy for Women in CyberSecurity (WiCyS), as well as donating pro-bono consulting hours as an expert business coach to the client of nonprofit The Catalyst Center for Business & Entrepreneurship
After Sonya Bailor was finally out of the state system, living in an orphanage, then foster home, her mother made a conscious decision to overflow her daughter with as much good as she could – in an attempt to overpower the bad childhood that she had finally come out of. From a pre-teenager, Sonya’s mother and adopted dad raised her in church, as well as with a non-stop overflow of Zig Ziglar and Tony Robbin’s audios, videos, and books. Even the rarely heard of Zig Ziglar Singers cassette tapes were on repeat in her household from that time. Sonya quickly showed leadership traits, and her mom & dad began bringing her with them attending many business and motivational conferences, such as Tony Robbins, Dale Carnegie, and other personal and business growth leaders. The growth mindset was engrained into her as a foundation for who she is today.
