Tamara Park is an award-winning director, published author, patent holder and conscious leader. She has led teams on five contents—working on initiatives from the Amazon to Zanibar.

As she traveled the world, chasing and crafting compelling stories for TV shows, documentaries and short films, she noticed a big problem. Businesses and nonprofits were doing such important and innovative work. They had valuable stories to tell, yet most were leaving those assets untapped and untold. Many didn’t know how to articulate their own story, their stakeholders’ stories and their customers’ stories. And, that was costing them money and morale.

So, Tamara has dedicated her work to empowering leaders to unlock their stories to connect with their customers, engage their employees and grow their own leadership effectiveness.

She has now taught hundreds of leaders around the world on story and leadership. She has equipped them to not only use the power of story to get their key messages out but also as a vital way of creating a culture of authentic connection, trust and engagement.

Tamara revels coming alongside great organizations to boost their people, purpose and profit. She does this through a suite of trainings on story and leadership, as well as serving as a consultant and executive coach.
