I have worked with coaches (myself) and, in my role as HR executive, hired coaches for many other executives over the years and I consider Tamara O'Neill one of the best. She does insightful and impactful executive coaching, leadership development and leadership transition. She's much more pragmatic than many coaches - she's results oriented and the roots of her experience are in corporate America with AT&T. With that said, she's more than pedigreed in the world of coaching, having helped countless numbers of incumbent executives as well as those that have chosen to "pivot" to another role, industry or profession. I hired Tamara almost two years ago when I decided to leave NYC and the advertising industry -- she's been an invaluable partner in the thought process that ultimately led me to my new role at Boys and Girls Clubs of America. She is direct, honest and challenges your thinking in all the right ways -- from the strategy and tactics of search to the research and negotiations related the final stages of crafting a deal with a new company. She has coached a number of senior executives in my network and they have all emerged as more successful and satisfied leaders. Another thing that stands out for Tamara is that she truly approaches her clients and work with the individual's best outcome in mind. Period. She does not look at every conversation as a business development opportunity, which many coaches do. She genuinely cares deeply and works tirelessly, in the interest of her clients. I quickly learned I could trust Tamara and would recommend her without hesitation.
