My Mission
My mission is to coach and empower you and your team to strengthen accountability for the commitments you make - to those you work with and those you serve.
About Tami
Having recently retired from a career in the social services, I am a social worker with formal education and experience in executive leadership. I have a keen interest in systems theory and understanding the interplay of people within systems.
As a leader in a high stress environment, I was fortunate to have role models who exemplified what being a manager entailed. It was not about doing the work at a higher level; it was about managing the people who were tasked with doing the work.
I learned early that managing people was complicated at times. Leadership training sessions provided a good theoretical base, but the “soft skills” of leadership, I learned over time, are nuanced by the organization – by its mission, core values, and explicit expectations of staff.
Referencing various examples from the news, experiences of several colleagues and various leaders, I use a narrative approach to challenge you and your team to integrate your theoretical leadership knowledge with the mission of your organization.
Kawartha-Haliburton Children’s Aid Society partnered with Tami Callahan for comprehensive training and consultation to introduce use of accountability models across the organization. The experience was exceptional from start to finish.

Tami’s Accountable Leadership session was both engaging and deeply relevant. She created a safe space for open discussion while challenging our senior team to reflect on our own leadership accountability.

Did you know...?
Organizations with an accountability framework are more likely to hit their bottom lines in productivity.
The leaders in the organization are committed to the framework and this results in higher staff retention, attainment of service targets and valuable succession planning.
