to take a group from crisis mode
to
aha moments with
bursts of ecstatic wonder.

The World as We Know It Has Shifted
Leaders, businesses, and organizations are looking for ways to navigate our rough waters. They are looking for quick fixes, toe holds, anything to keep above water and stay afloat.
We think that they are missing the boat. The old ways no longer apply. The answers will not be found in acquiring more data, conducting analysis, improving algorithms, etc., all of which inevitably lead to increased levels of inadequacy and doom.
What leaders and those that follow them require is the ability to discern who and what is important to them and how they can bring out the best in others and themselves. Gathering more data, sending out surveys, and conducting assessments is not going to cut it.
Enter what we call the Age of Process. A process is something that can be applied in any situation. Here at TAMA, we teach and train a process that does just that. It unlocks the doors to creativity and collaboration. A process that brings people together while keeping the bottom line firmly in sight.
We created the Executive Coaching and Crisis Management course to give you the skills you need to harness this process and establish yourself as a recognized leader and authority in your field. And we don’t just stop there. We help you build your own platform, and hand you a megaphone so you can announce yourself to the world.
We help you cap that off with a book that captures your words and timely message. You just add your hard-earned experience, make a bold move, and learn how to take your imposter syndrome with you.
Any process that can do that is worth, well.............what do you think?

What Our Students Say
"Although the sessions, and when we meet and talk, they seem kind of light and jovial........almost...funny in a way. The insights that I'm left with...are just mind blowing."
"There is a simplicity in this process and yet there's this depth......and it's incredible......when you really think about what we're talking about and think about what the implications are...it could be pretty easy to miss."
"What I like most about this....is understanding that I'm really not responsible for any outcomes. Whenever you're a coach......people want you to fix things, right? It creates a certain dynamic....that they're ready to challenge you. This scrambles people and they have to start rethinking about what's going on."
"It's like going from black and white to color TV....and then you're going to put on those 3D glasses."
"It's about stepping back and watching the process work."
"The relationships that I've developed with both of you. And, you know, I am not afraid to ask questions, or, you know, come to you with (my plans)."
"I really do believe that I have made a difference in the lives of others by introducing them to the ACT Matrix."
"Reflective practice around different ways of doing things, not being stuck in a rut or a mundane way of delivering things. Improved confidence, reflective practice, improved practice, and enjoying the work that I do, which I think is most important because feeling comfortable about what I'm doing, and getting more work through the different channels keeping the channel open."
"So my experience has been fun. Because even just the laughter is one of the things that I know, every week, that we're going to have a laugh. So that's always good in terms of the learning."
"I have learned so much on so many different levels.....especially from the Crowdcasts, and setting those up, and delivering those and enjoying them while also getting work out of them."
"Not only have I grown as an individual, but actually the work that I've done and the way that I do work has grown."
"The element of fun, the element of the unexpected, because you never know what we're going to end up talking about."
The Story of Joy.
Bold Moves Executive Coach and Crisis Manager.
Joy dreamed of bringing a feminine view to the male-dominated world of executives through coaching. She could see it was a fast way of getting to the top and influencing business management for the better. She would need training and mentoring, and she sought out such training with what looked to be a reputable company, and it was. However, the company’s coaching program was steeped in old-world, male-dominated ideas. Further, the training was very long on information, but very short on applying that information.
Joy studied hard and fully participated with her coach mentor. On the one hand, the information seemed promising, but in the back of her mind was a growing sense of imposter syndrome; that she would get in an executive coaching or crisis management situation, and her lack of skills would be apparent. Sadly, Joy was right. Her executive coaching and crisis management training was full of questionable theoretical notions about executives that would be difficult for anyone to turn into practice. When she did manage to find some people to do coaching with, her head would spin with ideas about what she might do that got in the way of her doing what was needed.
The fact is, while most of the techniques that Joy had learned might be usable in some settings, she did not have a process that would work in all environments. During her coaching sessions, her imposter syndrome grew and grew. Most of her clients only lasted a session or two before moving on. She had never gotten up the nerve to do any crisis intervention work because she was sure her lack of skills would indeed show up if she tried.
Like others, Joy eventually found The ACT Matrix Academy and Bold Moves Executive Coaching and Crisis Management Training. She learned the universal process, and after practice, her imposter syndrome almost disappeared. (Even the most expert Bold Move coaches retain a touch of imposter syndrome. It comes with the business.) Now she uses a universally applicable process to “see” what technique would be helpful. Further, she can tweak any strategy and find workability using the universal process.
Joy is now a successful executive coach and crisis manager who confidently strides into any organizational situation and knows just what to do. She is firm in what she does and gentle in how she does it.
Now she is bringing highly effective feminine qualities to organizational management worldwide.
