About Tamar Balkin

​

I’m an Organisational Psychologist with over 20 years’ experience helping leaders thrive at work. My focus is executive coaching—supporting CEOs and senior teams to lead with clarity, resilience, and emotional intelligence, especially through change and complexity.

I believe work should be energising, purposeful, and even enjoyable. That belief has shaped my career from early corporate consulting roles to nearly two decades of coaching leaders to enhance their self-awareness, influence, and impact.

​

Clients often describe me as someone who forms strong, trusted partnerships. I bring both psychological insight and commercial perspective, helping leaders stay focused and motivated while navigating challenges or stepping into new roles.

​

Whether coaching high-performing executives, guiding newly appointed leaders, or supporting organisations through conflict, my approach is grounded in evidence, ethics, and real-world impact. I’m committed to continuous learning and best practice, ensuring every engagement is based on the latest research in leadership, wellbeing, and human behaviour.
