Tami regularly coached our in-house lawyers in effective communication for international legal practices. Before working with Tami, some of our lawyers lacked confidence, commercial awareness, interpersonal skills and the international mindset required for our line of work.
Tami helped identify the gaps that needed filling and provided support to our new hires, which helped them break down their internal barriers and take the first steps into the field of international business using their own potential with confidence.
Tami’s training style is energetic, logical and customer-oriented with serious content.
I’ve worked with Tami on projects like leadership coaching, and performance enhancement programs, where her customized approach really shines. Tami combines strategy with hands-on expertise to create a custom-made programme that fits your needs, timeline, and budget perfectly.
Tami’s coaching programmes and workshops keep participants engaged and bring positive, long-lasting changes to their work lives. She is a reliable advisor who combines deep knowledge with a strong focus on results that last.
Impression Management: Develop your personal brand, enhance your executive presence, and communicate your value effectively
Much of professional and personal success depends on persuading others to recognize your value. Want to distinguish yourself and raise your visibility more effectively? Develop your personal brand and enhance your executive presence to take the next steps in your career.
During this workshop, the participants will learn:
- What it means to manage your impression effectively
- Why it’s so important
- When it’s important
- How to identify your unique brand and communicate your value effectively
- How to continue to develop your brand to build trust and ensure lasting impact
Workshop series: Using brain science to unlock hidden potential and drive better results
The following workshops can be booked individually or in a bundle to increase their impact and results.
(W1) Balancing brain hemispheres for more impact and creativity
Understanding the right and left hemisphere of the brain to access greater creativity and intuition, and become more collaborative and empowered in the way you work.
While the two hemispheres of the brain work together in almost everything you do in your day-to-day life, they view the world in vastly different ways.
To reach one’s full potential and to work in a more impactful way, it’s to use both hemispheres in a balanced and integrated manner.
In this workshop, the participants will:
- Explore the strengths and weaknesses of each hemisphere of the brain, as well as their own default under stress
- Discover strategies to use both brain hemispheres in a more integrated way to help them become more effective as individuals and a team
(W2) Activating your brain superpower
Exploring the role of the executive function of the brain to reduce stress, prevent burnout, and sustain high performance.
Working in a highly pressurized and fast-changing work environment can lead to stress and feeling overwhelmed. Over time, this can impact mental health and performance and lead to burnout.
This workshop will provide you with the knowledge and resources you need to lead and inspire through smart working: minimizing stress, avoiding burnout, and maximizing well-being and performance in your workplace.
In this workshop, the participants will:
- Explore the research on the impact of stress on the prefrontal cortex, more commonly known as the executive function of the brain
- Learn to recognize too much, too little, or just the right amount of stress in their life, leveraging stress as their workplace best friend
- Learn and begin to apply the research on how to manage stress more effectively to drive and sustain high performance
Tami equipped us with tools to handle stress and encourage teamwork
As a busy in-house legal team, we are always very conscious about stress levels and well-being of our team members. We were looking for sessions that would help the team to better identify stress in themselves and their colleagues, understand when it was getting to a critical point, and learn how to manage stress more effectively or help a colleague who was struggling.
Tami provided us with four workshop sessions over four months, which were very well received by the team. People particularly liked her science-based approach rather than vague information you often get on this topic. We were left with actual ideas and plans that we could incorporate in our lives. The team also really appreciated the break-out sessions Tami included so we could talk in smaller groups and start to learn from each other. Tami delivered all the workshops in a very caring and empathetic manner, which we appreciated a lot.
(W3) Embracing innovative and sustainable ways of working by mastering brain networks
Working with task-positive (TPN) and default-mode (DMN) networks intentionally to drive inspiration, focus, and productivity.
Our brain has two networks that become activated depending on what we focus our attention on. In this workshop, the participants will:
- Discover the strengths and weaknesses of these two networks, TPN and DMN, and how each contributes to problem-solving, creativity, and focus
- Explore their own experience being in both task and default modes to understand how stepping back from constant “doing” can unlock fresh, innovative solutions to professional challenges
- Learn how to apply these insights both individually and in a team to increase productivity, collaboration, and inspiration
(W4) Having challenging conversations
Applying insights from neuroscience to improve communication skills and tackle difficult feedback conversations with clarity and confidence.
Giving and receiving feedback is one of the most fundamental yet challenging aspects of effective communication, essential for enhancing performance and driving excellence within the team. Yet, many of us hesitate to engage in these conversations, whether it’s giving and receiving performance-related feedback or addressing sensitive topics with colleagues.
In this workshop, the participants will:
- Understand the brain’s response to feedback and learn techniques to minimize defensiveness and maximize engagement
- Learn to confidently navigate challenging conversations, fostering a culture of openness and collaboration, especially in diverse environments with varying seniority levels and cultural norms
- Practice frameworks for delivering feedback in a way that motivates change and fosters collaboration
(W5) Rewiring your brain for success
Neuroplasticity as the brain’s mechanism for change: building and sustaining good habits to rewire the brain and master professional challenges.
In this workshop, the participants will:
- Learn the mechanisms of neuroplasticity and how they can help facilitate lasting change and growth in themselves and others
- Understand the factors that support or impede rewiring of the brain
- Practice applying neuroplasticity to their own professional challenges
(W6) Tackle the imposter in you: how to combat your inner critic to increase confidence
Neuroplasticity as the brain’s mechanism for change: building and sustaining good habits to rewire the brain and master professional challenges.
In this workshop, the participants will:
- Learn the mechanisms of neuroplasticity and how they can help facilitate lasting change and growth in themselves and others
- Understand the factors that support or impede rewiring of the brain
- Practice applying neuroplasticity to their own professional challenges
I invited Tami to conduct our annual off-site training for our litigation associates, who range from newly qualified to those nearing partnership. Our team often deals with long hours, complex cases, and high-pressure situations that can affect their daily lives.
Tami’s training was invaluable in helping our team understand that while they cannot change the behaviours of others, they can gain insight into their own behaviours and reactions. More importantly, by delving into the neuroscience behind these behaviors, Tami’s workshop has equipped our team with the tools to manage stress more effectively and improve their professional and personal lives. I cannot recommend Tami more highly.
Presentation skills: Deliver memorable presentations with confidence
Delivering a presentation doesn’t have to be a nerve-racking experience. This workshop will teach you how to stop being nervous about speaking in public and use it as an opportunity to enhance your reputation and raise your visibility within your organisation and industry.
In this workshop, the participants will learn:
- What makes an effective presentation
- How to structure your presentation to appear more credible and create a lasting positive impression
- How to overcome your nerves, own the room, and speak with confidence
- How to bring dry material to life and engage your audience
- How to handle challenging questions
Building meaningful relationships: Effective networking for people who don’t like networking
Even if you’re a seasoned professional, you may still dread networking, feeling awkward in a room full of strangers, especially in a different culture. This workshop will teach you how to stop feeling uncomfortable and make the most from any event.
In this workshop, the participants will learn:
- How to prepare effectively for any networking opportunity
- How to overcome your fears and discomfort and present yourself in the best light while staying authentic
- How to approach strangers, introduce yourself, and make a transition from superficial small talk to impactful discussions
- How to build rapport and turn connections into relationships
I decided to participate in this programme because I wanted to be able to express my ideas more effectively. Also, I had little confidence in my presentation skills. During this programme, Tami shared her own experience, made us think about what the presentation is, and engaged us to participate in active discussion.
I learned that thinking my ideas through in advance, picking up three most important points, and speaking in my own words are the most important factors for a successful presentation.
This programme made me realise that delivering a presentation is more simple than thought. It’s just another way to use my own words to communicate my ideas.
Tami delivered training for our lawyers aimed to improve their presentation skills. What I particularly appreciated about it was Tami’s deep understanding of our field as a fellow lawyer. All topics were highly relevant to our work and our everyday challenges.
The knowledge gained from this training has definitely enriched my professional skills and understanding.
