The most important thing Tamara demonstrates is growth. Her ability to constantly learn, to apply new knowledge and to inspire those around her to rise to any and all occasions is basically a super power.

Tamara is brilliant and very real. She is fun to be around and has a calm, organized demeanour about her that makes you feel confident in knowing you are going to reach good results. Recently, I worked with Tamara to present a marketing skills seminar to stakeholders of Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) across Canada, which included various city staff, EcDev & tourism departments, elected officials, and BIA directors. Tamara took a complicated topic and organized it into a clear and concise presentation. The seminar was engaging and received extremely positive feedback, especially regarding Tamara's presentation style, with people thanking her for making everything interesting, approachable, and easy to understand. Thank you Tamara for sharing your skills not just with us but the frontline for our main streets and small businesses!

As a mentor, Tamara has been able to coach and guide young entrepreneurs through her extensive experience and expertise with marketing, branding and entrepreneurship. As a workshop leader and facilitator, Tamara worked with us to take an initial workshop idea to developing, creating and delivering a workshop that perfectly aligned with our goals and objectives. Her presentation and delivery style made the content easy to learn and understand for participants. I would highly recommend working with Tamara!

I worked closely with Tamara for 4 months and saw a world of difference in my business. Being able to talk to someone who genuinely cares, listens and provides useful feedback was refreshing. I was able to use her advice practically and incorporate it into the development of my business and guide it in the right direction. She has a lot of business experience and was able to answer every question I had. I would HIGHLY recommend Tamara to anyone in need of a great mentor.

There are few entrepreneurs who understand as well as Tamara the many different types of businesses that must thrive to build social cohesion and community health, whether they be sole-proprietorships or corporations in the private sector or service organizations and charity groups in the non-profit sector. Tamara contributes to the success of businesses across this spectrum, making her a unique entrepreneur and demonstrating an astonishing and near tireless commitment to the vibrancy of our community.

This is the best class on creating a brand I have found! Before you even think about your logo, colors, or brand persona, it's key to understand and get in touch with your brand essence and let that guide you. EXCELLENT class on branding! A must for a new brand!

Tamara has unparalleled ability to create interest and draw a crowd via a single tweet, Facebook or Instagram post. Every marketing effort, from ensuring brilliant graphic design and a powerful aesthetic, to galvanizing public support, has made people inside and outside Niagara aware of all this region has to offer, with other entrepreneurs drawn here to start their own ventures.  A rising tide floats all the boats, and Tamara, rather than hoarding resources under the guise of guarding proprietary information, has generously demonstrated through her own success that there is enough for all to go around.

Thanks Tamara for your great support in shaping our business ideas and guiding us through a journey of possibilities. You were open, always there and happy to lend a helping hand, and sharing your world of experience all through the journey - you represented everything a true mentor should be. Thank you for your impact, I am extremely grateful!

I highly highly recommend Tam’s Embodied Goal Setting class - not just because the content is A+ but because Tam’s delivery makes it easy to understand and enjoyable to learn. It really allowed me to remove my ego from what I wanted to accomplish and create a roadmap that really lit up my soul. The exercises really allowed me to drill down to what is important to me - both in my work and personal life. Tam’s workshop really opened me up to new approaches that work so much better for my lifestyle and how my mind works. I still refer to the worksheets I created during this workshop, using them as a cornerstone as the year moves forward.

Tamara uses her professional development and entrepreneurial success to uplift others, launching her own online masterclass in business development, brand strategy, and marketing. She is consistently leading others towards the same success she has enjoyed by sharing her passion and broad entrepreneurial skill set. She has also become a fixture in the growing arts community, helping organizations increase their reach and supporting progressive programming. We are incredibly lucky to have someone of her talent, passion, and sense of community here in Niagara.
