“What felt like a mid-life crisis at 28, I now know to have been the start of an incredible path of self-discovery and personal growth.
Along the way, I have learnt much about the human mind, subconscious behaviour and about what enables success.
Most of all, I have learnt that we are ultimately responsible for all outcomes in our lives and that we can create successful outcomes when we have the right mindset.
And, I have learnt this by doing it.”
Ditching a successful management career in the Oil & Gas and Investment Banking industries in 2002, Tamsen moved to Melbourne, Australia where over 4 years, she re-trained in Psychology, Clinical Hypnotherapy and Conflict Resolution.
Moving back to the UK in 2006, Tamsen embarked on the journey of self-employment. She set up her Clinical practice and joined 4Networking, a small aspiring business network in the South West of England. Over 18 months, she used the 4Networking marketing platform to build a successful clinical practice, working with people to enable them to create success in their lives and businesses.
Meanwhile, she developed 4Networking in South Wales from one business networking group to a Region of 16 groups in just 12 months. As a result, Tamsen was asked to join the board of 4Networking as Network Director in August 2008. It was the powerful combination of corporate HR and Operational Management, strong leadership and an inherent understanding of people that enabled her to then develop the infrastructure, including the leadership team, processes and training materials to enable the growth of 4Networking from that small local business network into the national business that it is today.
Her experience working with hundreds of businesses, training numerous leaders and developing numerous teams has resulted in a thorough understanding of the many challenges that are familiar to business owners. This coupled with her engaging communication style and her ability to work with all types of people makes her uniquely placed to work with businesses to develop the mind-set, the skills and the behaviours necessary to create personal and business success.
“Tamsen has the rare ability to hold 4 elements in clear focus when interacting with people: The organisation’s needs, the person’s skills and attributes, where these best fit, and importantly what gaps need developing to get best performance. With her unusually good rapport building skills she is able to effortlessly work with these factors in a single conversation. The results are seriously impressive and have been instrumental in enabling a consistent doubling of 4Networking every year for 3 years on the trot.”
