Tammy is a master at turning slow-moving organisations into nimble, innovative environments. But, her journey to becoming a sought-after expert in change leadership is as unconventional as it is inspiring.

Tammy’s story starts in the minefield of the public sector, where she spent years trying to push the boundaries of innovation. It wasn’t easy. Change, she quickly discovered, is a tough nut to crack, especially when you’re working within the confines of traditional structures. Despite earning her credentials in change management, Tammy found herself frustrated by slow progress and resistance at every turn. But instead of giving up, she got creative.

Tammy’s lightbulb moment came when she realised that certifications and textbook strategies were not enough. The real key to driving change was focusing on people, not processes. By understanding the unique motivations of individuals rather than just viewing them as stakeholders, she began to see real progress, developing a more human-centred approach to leadership.

This revelation led Tammy to develop her signature “ninja” approach to change. Instead of fighting resistance head-on, she learned to make small, strategic moves that quietly but effectively transformed organisations from within. Her methods blend practicality, empathy, and a dash of humour, making her a beloved figure in the world of change leadership.
