Tamara Yakaboski, PhD
People want more purpose-driven work with an increased sense of belonging, connection, and value alignment.
I use my signature model, Awaken Resilience, to help leaders and their teams move from isolation to belonging, fear to hope, and toxic productivity to purposeful action.

"I have watched my faculty and staff--repeatedly and impressively--find ways to ensure that others' needs, particularly students' needs, were being met...often at the expense of their own mental, physical, and emotional health. We needed solutions that prioritize people, their health, and their values; programming that addressed burnout as a problem to be fixed rather than a circumstance to be accepted; and a community centered on creativity, joy, and purpose.
Tamara was the perfect solution for our needs. Having been a part of higher education for decades, Tamara is primed to understand the systems that operate and the people who exist within academia.
She was a true thought partner and helped me to consider the specific needs and challenges of my faculty and staff; at the same time, she brought to all discussions her expertise and wisdom.
We are beginning to heal because of our workshops and 1:1 coaching sessions with Tamara. I have watched my faculty and staff become more invested in their work as teachers, scholars, and members of the university--because they are better able to create the boundaries and rest that they need in order to shine."
