I adore the people I work with and I’m drawn to working with clients with big visions, who wish for their businesses to bring about positive change in the world. Having the distinct honor of working with such high-conscious entrepreneurs brings an added layer of excitement and hope to our work together. My clients inspire me regularly, so I wanted to start this Client Spotlight series so that you may get to know them, too.

We’ll get things started with Tamra Stanish, the founder of Tamra Stanish Coaching who is a most beautiful force of nature. We met in 2019 during Meditation Teacher Training, and it was in those intimate weekend moments where I could feel her deep love and strong conviction for living her truth. When it was time for her to start her coaching business in early 2020, I was drawn to her incredible vision immediately. Through working with her, I’ve witnessed her step more fully into herself, and I’ve learned how to cultivate a stronger sense of love for self.

Tamra, in her own words

I believe you are here to be the fullest expression of your soul.

I see a world where people are no longer drifting through life on autopilot. Instead, people speak from the heart with skill and grace, they honor their truth through values and personal vision, and they stand in the center of their dharma doing meaningful work.

My highest vision is to see my business be a vessel for change. Through my work with individuals and teams, my hope is that my business contributes to an entire generation rising up and stepping into their purpose leading to a world of more fulfilled, joyful, connected humans. I see this reality coming to life with each client I work with.

Gathering the pieces of my purpose

I’ve always been drawn to exploration, and I’m a learner at heart. I feel most alive when I find ways to tap into wonder and adventure--whether that's in nature, a good book, or cooking a family meal. (You can often find me outside in the sunshine with my pups or curled up on the couch with a good book!)

Whether it’s learning and exploration of self, spirit, or what makes up the world, I find myself drawn to it all, eager to learn, explore, and expand my understanding of the human experience. I’m fascinated by human potential and performance--what makes humans tick, what we long for, what makes us feel alive, how we connect and relate to others, and our awareness of it all.

I spent about a decade in different avenues of leadership development, but something was missing for me. I knew I was close to my dharma but not standing squarely in it.

So I tuned into the moments that made me feel most alive. Over several years, I began taking stock of the moments that were flow state and the ones that drained me. I pursued personal and professional development opportunities to breathe more life into the moments that were full of ease and flow, and I got closer and closer to what would become my life’s work.

In my last year of work in a global organization, I was eager to drive culture change but realized I was limited by my current role and the size of the company. So, I decided to return to school to pursue my master’s in Industrial-Organizational Psychology so that I could make work better. The network I have access through at Harvard, and all the knowledge I am devouring have given me so many tools, teachings, and articles to use with clients.

When COVID hit, everything came together for me to step out of my comfort zone and officially launch my business. I realized that it was time to break away and do this work full-time.

Turning dreams into actions

Maggie helped me take the soul of my ideas, hopes, and dreams out of my head and into the world as a beautiful, authentic business. I could not have started this without her. And now, she keeps my business running so smoothly by supporting me in the operations that I don’t have the knowledge or bandwidth to manage/execute on my own. Because of our partnership, I am able to focus on what I love most about my business, the people I work with, and stay on track with my quarterly and annual business goals.

This work is all about coming home to the soul through Strategic Premonition and ROAM (Reflection, Ownership, Alignment, Momentum). These methods are rooted in a guided exploration of the soul. I teach my clients how to listen to the soul which practically looks like discovering and honoring your personal values, creating a vision for your life, taking responsibility for your current life circumstances, and moving towards resonant action that aligns with what you want most in life.

ROAM has become a container for many of my clients who are in a period of transition. I work with individuals who are ready to pivot their skillset to a new career path, moms coming back from maternity leave, and lots of other big life changes.

I weaved in my years of leadership development, meditation training, and life experience to create a program that moves people from numbness of soul to confidence, joy, and freedom. From my background in leadership development, I teach clients how to communicate with confidence and skill, create boundaries for work-life balance, and lead high-performing teams through values, vision, and trust. I’m bringing on more clients who work in leadership whether that means they are a CEO or Founder of a startup or a local real estate agent. I love working with leaders and seeing the impact on their teams and organizations.

Growing with support

Through working with Maggie, I gained a brand image that I am so proud of and the easiest client experience that I could imagine. When other colleagues were struggling to set up processes for client experience, I was experiencing the most ease and confidence in my systems.

Maggie has a gift for creating this sacred container for us to work together. Her energy, presence, and mastery of her skill set create so much ease and trust in our relationship. Working with her, I feel seen, known, and valued. Because of that, I wouldn’t work with anyone else. I could go on and on.

Our shared values, her communication, her openness to feedback, all of it made the experience so joyful instead of stressful! Now, I get to witness incredible change in real-time as my clients take this work back to their organizations.

See what I mean? Tamra has a clear vision for what she wants and that translates to a powerfully palpable support system for others wanting to grow into and live their fullest versions of themselves.
