As Tamara Myles prepared to launch her book on meaningful work, she found herself in a moment that many women know too well: She was positioned in way that invalidated her expertise, reduced her contribution, and stripped meaning from her work. 

Instead of staying silent, she made a different choice, one that required intention, preparation, and bravery. 

Join host Jacquelyn Fletcher Johnson and Tamara as they unpack how difficult moments can create positive ripple effects when you get the courage to use your voice.

About Tamara Myles 

Tamara Myles helps leaders unlock the transformative power of meaning at work. As a speaker, author, professor, and entrepreneur, she specializes in blending the art and science of human flourishing with practical strategies that drive innovation, resilience, and growth. Her mission is simple: to unlock the power of meaningful work to build cultures where people feel connected, challenged, and fulfilled. Tamara is the co-author of Meaningful Work: How to Ignite Passion and Performance in Every Employee, a guide for leaders to harness the power of meaning and create thriving workplaces. This book brings together research and actionable strategies to inspire leaders to cultivate meaningful work in every job, at every level of their organization. At Boston College, she teaches future leaders about the science of flourishing organizations, and as a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, she continues to study how meaningful work drives performance and well-being. Her research—the first rigorous academic study of leadership practices that increase meaning at work—has been featured in Forbes, Business Insider, and FastCompany.

I earned the nickname "speaker whisperer" as a conference designer so I created a whole new event to help you get in front of the trail angels who can open doors to bigger stages and broader impact at the Gateway Gathering & Pitch Fest. The Gathering includes information and inspiration on public speaking and getting seen and a pitch fest...(think Shark Tank!) Come for the learning or raise your hand to pitch the head of all TED conferences, literary and speaker agents, entertainment execs, and more.
