Navigational Skills to Guide and Ground You in an Ever-Changing World
If it seems like the world is in a constant state of flux, that's because it is. Our work, our families, our friendships, and our society are always changing, which can leave us feeling disoriented and discouraged. And while lots of people offer "tips and tricks" or "life hacks" to help us cope, the real secret to feeling like we're standing on solid ground is deeper--and we can't do it alone.
In Life in Flux, leadership, career, and vocation experts Michaela O'Donnell and Lisa Pratt Slayton teach the practical skills needed in order to navigate constant change.
Our Client Process:

“Our team was stuck in patterns of thinking and behaving that were no longer working for the team or the individuals. Lisa helped us get unstuck and one of the things she artfully does is help people look inward in order to effectively move outward, both individually and collectively. Too often leaders only look outward when trying to make progress…focusing on what to do. Lisa helps the team get clarity on who they need to be, to more effectively figure out what to do.”

How we work
Grounded growth for leaders working at the edge of complex change.
Our Clients are…
Embracing Vulnerability: Aware that they don’t know what to do, they recognize that what has gotten them to this point vocationally will not get them where they want to go and they are ready to learn and to be activated.
Moving Courageously: See their current environment, locally and globally, as the wake-up call they need to re-examine their priorities, strategies and deeply held convictions and beliefs.
Oriented towards Growth: Believe that this is the season, even in all its uncertainty, for investment in their own growth and development.
Integrated Leaders
Vocational and Executive Development
Different from traditional coaching, this process is a journey into self-examination, reflection and requires readiness to examine the habits and behaviors that inhibit building relationships of trust. It contains elements of coaching, mentoring, spiritual direction and a bit of ass-kicking.
Identity and Calling—who we are, not just what we do, is the primary place from where we lead. So who are you?
Strengths,Motivation and Gifting—how we are wired and uniquely gifted to serve and lead. How can you bring the best of yourself to your leadership?
Emotional Wholeness—building capacity for deep empathy in order to lead from the heart as well as from the head.
Making sense of Complexity
Complexity Consulting
Now more than ever, organizations are navigating new kinds of ambiguity and complexity. Traditional means of planning and problem-solving are helpful but will not allow us to step into the new future unfolding before us with excellence. Complex, adaptive systems and organizations are able to move out of what they know and can actually learn from this place of uncertainty. They embrace discomfort and begin to engage the tensions and polarities as places of opportunity,
The process includes a number of important and significant shifts to make over time:
From To
Best Practices Enabling practices
Categorizing Curiosity
Reacting Responding
Central Power Distributed Power
Vision and Planning Hopeful Realism and Pathing
Individual Focus Connective Community
Big Data Thick and Rich Data
Regulated Relationships Trust-Based Relationships
When you work with Tamim Partners, you invite a voice of wisdom to dwell with you as you navigate the wilderness. You get an experienced, truth-seeking, trusted, consultative ass-kicking partner and advisor.

Integrating Leaders:
One of the most significant challenges leaders face is the danger of becoming dis-integrated and fragmented; disconnected from their core identity and their most meaningful relationships-at work, at home and in the world. Through our proven methodologies and practices, we help leaders and their teams grow in wholeness and integrity in their work and life.
Making Sense of Complexity:
The world we live in is volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous- it is a VUCA world. This environment requires vastly different ways of working and leading than what worked even a decade ago. It demands humility and courage, vulnerability and resolve—and the ability to lead out of often unresolvable tensions. Building the capacity and capability to lead and work out of one’s identity from a place of deep coherence requires wise guides as they travel through complexity.
At Tamim Partners, we understand the need for an experienced, trusted advisor and guide for the adventure. Not for the faint of heart, the self-reflective leader knows that traveling alone into the wilderness is ill advised, but going out with the right guides make all the difference in the quality and outcomes of the journey.
We serve leaders ready for grounded, reality based development-personal and institutional-working at the edge of their growth and comfort zone.
