Tamera Schmidt draws on her 20-plus years at Hewlett Packard leading transformational change, including managing a company split while returning from maternity leave, to explain concepts like "camouflage change," the neuroscience-backed practice of asking permission before offering feedback, and the use of gratitude and breathing exercises to move clients out of a reactive, fight-or-flight state. She details her Revenue Leadership Accelerator model, built around a Trust-Clarity-Performance framework, and describes hands-on exercises she uses with executive teams — from service projects to storytelling contests — designed to break down corporate personas. The conversation closes with a candid story from Malaysia, where Schmidt navigated a client's discomfort working with a female leader through humor, empathy, and cultural sensitivity.
