Tamara Lebak, MDiv, PCC - Expert

I've always loved working with Tamara. She's passionate and organized. She communicates clearly. She sees the big picture and always brings an excellent analysis into the conversation. She's a fabulous speaker and does not hide from speaking the truth when it needs to be spoken.-Josh P.

Tamara raises important questions about social, cultural and religious absolutes, while (gently) opening minds, changing hearts and bringing people together. Her positive leadership is making a significant difference in our community and she will surely see the world changed for the better in her own time. Bill A.

Tamara is a gifted philosopher, gutsy thinker, and skilled communicator with the courage and sensitivity to connect with any number of constituencies. - Sheri R.

Tamara is passionate and knowledgeable about cultural competency and is very enthusiastic when delivering the material. Tamara held my attention the entire time and was very engaging in her class. Tamara helps you to understand how to think outside the box and attempt to not limit yourself or assume things of others. After taking this class I am very interested in learning more about cultural competency and I will definitely recommend this class to my coworkers.- Courtney W.

Tamara's expertly designed program fed equally minds and hearts. I clarified personal values and was challenged every step of the way to take concrete steps towards a new vision of what we wanted for ourselves and for our organization. I was introduced to the world of intercultural competency and became aware of how I dealt with difference. I began learning a path that assists in navigating the journey from fear of difference to fascination of those with different experiences than my own. - Emily P.

Tamara helped me see not only where I did well with working across cultural lines, but also to help me see where I could begin taking next steps to intentionally look out for the things I previously wasn't seeing, because I wasn't aware that I was missing them. The personal touch of meeting individually with each participant helped me not just receive the results, and instead to really have a helpful conversation to understand them. 
Over the course of the training I saw the way that this group of 20 people, who largely did not know each other prior to the class, came to be partners in the work of the organization. In my own life I've moved on to serve a community where deep divides remain between the largely Hispanic agricultural workforce and the largely white centers of power and influence. Because of the work that Tamara helped me do I've been able to work with people from across a wide range of life experiences, from those with only high school diplomas and the adults who grew up working as migrant farm laborers, to college faculty members, to meeting with the staff of our representative in the federal House of Representatives. This kind of leveraging of the power of knowledge and story has been, and continues to be, invaluable in my work and my personal life. - Eric B

The growth she fostered in everyone in this class through her ability to present information in an accessible, soulful, humorous, and pertinent method while honoring and feeding each student's needs, strengths, and deeper consciousness made this a rewarding and life-changing experience. In my long career I have never met anyone who knew how to truly teach as she does.-Dan P.

Tamara unique skills as a intercultural competency training in my opinion has separated her from many! Her passion, curiosity, and sensitivity in the field of true diversity has broaden my perspective in my discipline of work as an urban developer. I have had the privilege in working with Tamara, and I give her my highest recommendation! -Antoine H.

Tulsa, Oklahoma is incredibly lucky to have Tamara Lebak living and working here, and sharing her special blend of joy, personal power, transformation and justice within our community. She's extremely bright and fully connected to Spirit, making her a great ally and a wonderfully (r)evolutionary presence. I recommend her without reservation. -Annie H.

My business has improved, my personal relationships have been advanced, and my own ability to manage a complicated world have changed to the point of not recognizing my previous strengths as mine, prior to my work with Tamara. -Jeffrey E.

Tamara has quickly become a trusted partner for our executive coaching needs. She is my go-to resource for problems when I need an innovative external expert opinion. I highly recommend Tamara for personal coaching, situations where insight is needed on mission critical organizational dynamics, and high impact results.- Aaron B.

Exponential growth is how I would have to describe Tamara. That's simply what she is and it's what she transmits to other people. She is one tremendously gracious soul that finds new ways to shine every day. She adapts easily to any situation because of her high level of creativity and inspiration. I am thankful for all of my experiences working with her. She is a joy to collaborate with and if the opportunity arises for you to work with Tamara, you should get on board that train. Now that I think of it, working with her is a lot like riding the Polar Express. Her adventurous spirit beckons you to go on some life-changing and rewarding journey that always comes together magically in the end. :) - Ben I.

Tamara is a dynamic leader and coach, able to help people find their own strengths and, more importantly, to appreciate the strengths of others and the differences in others. She calls us to be better than we would otherwise be.- Larry L.

Our firm utilized Tamara's expertise to help get us through a transitional period. Without her help our transition could have been destructive. Her consulting allowed our team to see insights into each other and ourselves that provided a path to constructively moving forward and placed new accountabilities on each member in a way that was easily accepted and empowering to do the next right thing for our organization. This could not have been achieved without Tamara's unique and professional approach.- Kyle H.

Ms. Lebak's program has made me come alive and inflamed anew my passion to work as part of a team towards a noble purpose. Her work reminded me of the true leader I am. I became clearer about my own strengths and weaknesses as a leader and how to use that knowledge to be more effective. I have used the wisdom gained from this journey in every aspect of my life—in my role as an employee, in my role as a parent, in my role as a wife, in my new place in this new tightly-knit community of leaders, and in my role as a member of my community. I've challenged myself to risk more and to give more of my potential to make as much of a difference as I can, in a feeble attempt to give back as much as I have received. -Emily P.

My personal growth and increased skills in systems/process awareness, leveraging relationships, etc...have helped me see the world from a new horizon. The skill and expertise she brought to this group led me to be connected and aware on new levels. Our class will be impacting the world for years to come. Empowered, enlightened and motivated to impact society on many levels, this group of people have all blossomed during this process. Tamara has mastered leader building.  Chris F.

Tamara is a woman of great energy, creativity, and passion. She is able to effortlessly engage and lead others in an educational and collaborative journey of spiritual awareness and personal development. She is a pleasure to work with,- Christine H.

Tamara has been influential in our life more than once. Her ability to connect made her the one that our youngest son wanted to talk to when he had upcoming surgery. She connects easily with many people because of her life experiences and her acceptance of others. I found her at all times to be both professional and approachable no matter how busy she might be. In another capacity, I had a chance to attend a workshop led by her and a business partner that was well managed, eye opening and fruitful. Expect nothing but her full attention, commitment and skill set no matter when you interact.- Rhonda J.
