Since 1996, Tammie’s consulting company works nationally with those impacted by trauma, abuse, and addictions in Aboriginal communities. Recently, Tammie was on the faculty of the University of Toronto, instructing online in the MSW - ITR program while continuing with contract opportunities. Prior to 2007 working towards reconciliation between the Catholic Church and Aboriginal people in Canada, provided a solid foundation in communication, leadership, and conflict resolution. Achieving a Master of Arts Degree in Leadership and Training, through Royal Roads University, enhanced her ability to expand her work in Leadership and Organizational Development by aligning valuable lessons learned in her previous intensive personal development work. Therefore, embedding indigenous knowledge, while simultaneously raising her emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual intelligence she continues to develop innovative approaches to leadership, mindfulness, and personal development to build strong teams. Further to contractual experiences, her past work comprises of Management of a large Non-Profit agency in Health, Social Services, Education, Justice, Culture, and Recreation for many years bringing proficiencies of strategic planning, budgeting, program development and design, curriculum development, instructing online learning, supervision, program evaluation, proposal writing and contract management. These past experiences, being a woman of Aboriginal/European ancestry and raising four children (now successful adults) as a single parent, while building a business, seeking higher education, and working full time, deepens her understanding for mindful reflection, the importance of raising "our"social intelligence and being present is essential in our currently demanding world. Tammie currently resides in Nanaimo with her loving husband, David Myles.
