For the chief financial officer who finally decided she wouldn ’ t be made a scapegoat ; who didn ’ t just take what was being said and skulk meekly away , but stood up to ask “ why ” and say “ this isn ’ t right ”; overcoming years of cultural and personal reticence to speak up and be seen .
For the mother who saw how she provided the most stellar role modelling to her children around doing what you love AND loving being a mother , and realising the two are not mutually exclusive , and that she didn ’ t need to feel the guilt – indeed she could and should celebrate .
For the small business owner who walked away from a safe corporate job , to risk everything , to work from dawn to dusk , and who thought – “ this , this is living ”.
For the person who realised that it wasn ’ t actually about her – that the bullying and the poor behaviour was someone else ’ s behaviour . That she had no control over other people ’ s behaviour , only her own – but that she didn ’ t need to react to it , she didn ’ t need to buy into it , she didn ’ t need to believe it . That she could choose a different path .
What a privilege – to be allowed into people ’ s most inner lives and thoughts . To be allowed to hold a mirror up – gently and safely . To be allowed to help them make sense of it all . To be allowed to help them map out a path forward .
“ Working with Tammy Tansley has influenced and helped shape a competent and highly functioning leadership team . She continuously inspires us to be at our best . Her integrity and clarity instil motivation and a clear pathway to excellence . It is a pleasure and a privilege to work with Tammy .”
MELISSA PERRY ¬ CEO , COMMUNICARE
To help them see all the good that they do and all that they have within them . To help them see when they are their own worse enemy – and help them identify what that means for them and their life .
For those stories – and so , so many others .. That ’ s why I do what I do .
