Each encounter is tailored and success is measured by the application of learning to advance a desired outcome. Tamara is world class and has helped develop a plan and provided the coaching and learning for those to execute that goal.

Tamara is an amazing talent. I have seen her work communication miraclesI view her as a communication surgeon. Tamara assisted me in many National Sales Meetings, which are both expensive and very important in creating commitment to the future of a product and the company. The success or failure young people experienced from their role in presenting to a large audience played a huge role in developing self-confidence. Tamaras impact on these early career experiences was absolutely amazing. I have seen her transform nervous and no confidence into confident, impactful young managers. To say its miraculous may be an overstatement, but its close. Finally, I attribute Tamaras role in my successful career as a major factor. Even though I am now retired, I have recommended her recently to help a CEO whose skills need surgery!!!!!

As I transitioned to a highly challenging new career, Tamara personally tutored me on the art and science of making great first impressions, of communicating smart and capable by simply walking in the door. But Tamara Jacobs is far more than a coach. She is a brilliant, talented woman and leader. Her guidance and her fine example continue to assist me in realizing my potential every day.
