Tamara is a hugely passionate People Experience and OD consultant, founding BloomHQ alongside co-founder Nicola Shute. Tamara is passionate about setting up workplaces that are inclusive, supportive of people's wellbeing and career development, and fosters a culture that allows people from all backgrounds to feel like they belong and to thrive. She advocates for normalising conversations about mental health, aims to create environments that allow for brave conversations and holds space for people to be vulnerable and show up to work as and how they are.
As well being the Chief Visionary Officer for BloomHQ, Tamara is also the designer of The Wellbeing Deck, a card game that was created after a particularly low point in Tamara's own mental health journey. The Wellbeing Deck is a tangible way to tap into our own insights. By creating our definition of what it means to feel low, to thrive and what it takes to get there, wellbeing becomes all the more powerful when it’s ours to own. It's a game that breaks taboos and tokenism and lets us create our own definition of wellbeing.
Outside of work, Tamara is an avid Dungeons and Dragons player, spends most of her money on getting tattooed and is a practising druid who loves getting out and about in nature.
“Tamara facilitated the inaugural meeting of our new Advisory Board. Our time was limited so she kept us bang on time with activities that enabled us to both draw out what we need to achieve as a group while having some robust discussion about the issues. Following the meeting, Tamara did a great job preparing the outputs and leaving us with a clear plan of action. ”
