Testimonials

”Smart. Innovative. Collaborative. Fast. How Tamara manages to do all of those things at once is eternally impressive, and evidently just how she operates. Consistently. I have partnered with Tamara on a few projects and I've seen her in design, production and delivery mode. I would highly recommend!”

SENIOR LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT OFFICER, AMAZON

”Tamara has a knack for helping a person take a step back and look at different challenges or opportunities from a fresh perspective and she is great at providing the tools that I can use to do the same for others at my company. I'm 46 years old and hate training. I don't go...unless Tamara is running the sessions.”

GROUP PLANNING DIRECTOR, VML

”Perfectly skilled to facilitate collaboration between diverse (business and engineering) audiences, proven to handle the tough customer in the room, and quickly adapted to the nuances of our corporate culture. They’ve been terrific to work with; I’m a fan, and very much recommend Idea Farm.”

UX DESIGN LEAD, HONEYWELL AEROSPACE

”Tamara absolutely nailed it with our group. Her ability to personally connect with the large group and drive us to, frankly, game-changing ideas was absolutely remarkable.”

PRESIDENT OF 3M, JAPAN

”Tamara delivers an all-too-rare experience: a departure from business-as-usual. Through her leadership, process design, team facilitation, individual coaching, and seemingly limitless creativity, Tamara helped to launch a major strategy development effort at SRP that spanned departments and diverse subject matter. Her involvement was critical to the success of the initiative.”
