Bio
Grant Thornton
I have had the pleasure and good fortune to be coached by Tamara. A natural talent for (seemingly) effortlessly helping me ‘get out of my own way’ and see the wood for the trees. Of course she made me work hard but with humour, insight and empathy. No hesitation in recommending Tamara as a coach.

I would highly recommend Tamara's coaching services. She creates a warm and positive atmosphere which ensures that as a client, you feel respected and comfortable. Highly committed and unfailingly professional, she guides you towards identifying your long-term objectives and supports you in creating a plan of action. A talented coach who puts her clients at the heart of the process.

I cannot hesitate to recommend Tamara strongly enough. She is a clear strategic thinker, who focuses on the value added. A person who cares and will always make time to listen.
