How many of us go through life accomplishing one thing after another, and just moving along, not thinking about how we’re adding value to our work and companies? Unfortunately, many people do this - particularly women, especially when they’re in male-dominated industries like tech - giving 120% without stopping to consider what value they’ve brought in. Tamara McLemore is on a mission to help women see the value they bring to everything they do and to confidently ask for what they want in a job offer. She sits down with Kayleigh to have an open and honest conversation about why it’s important to look at what you’re actually adding to your company and how to create the confidence your audience will need to negotiate for anything they want. Tamara, PMP is the founder of Tamara McLemore Enterprises, an executive consultant, certified Project Management Professional (PMP) Instructor, and a sought after award-winning speaker. Her expertise lies in coaching mid-career professional women, empowering them with the necessary skills, confidence, and language to obtain their PMP Certification and secure significant career advancements. Through her PMP Exam 2-Week Intensive , she has successfully shortened the traditional preparation timeline, enabling candidates to pass their PMP exam within 30 days (a process that typically takes 6-8 months). This accelerated timeline not only aims to achieve certification but also to position women in the careers they truly deserve. With a wealth of experience spanning over 25 years in various industries including technology, federal government and aviation, Tamara has risen from being a project manager to now serving as the chief impact officer (CIO) of her own company.
