About our Founder, Tamara Kellam
Tamara Kellam is an organizational development consultant working at the intersection of people, strategy, and technology. Since 2019, she has partnered with organizations—from tech startups to government agencies such as the City of Richmond VA Parks & Recreation and the NYC Department of Health, to universities including UNC School of Government, NC State, Meredith College, and Virginia State University—to navigate continuous change and build the adaptive systems that sustain performance under pressure.
She holds an ALM in Industrial-Organizational Psychology from Harvard Extension School and is EQ-i 2.0 certified. She also developed the Predicting Resilience at Work Scale (PRWS), a validated instrument identifying emotion regulation as the primary driver of workplace resilience—work that was accepted for poster presentation at the 2026 APA Annual Convention.
Separately, she serves as Vice Chair of the OD Network’s Global Competency Framework Series, where she coordinates change efforts across a distributed community of distinguished practitioners to shape how organizational development professionals learn, lead, and practice their craft.
Beyond the Box™ Podcast
Beyond the Box™ is a podcast about resilience, meaning-making, and the radical possibilities that emerge when we deconstruct our assumptions about ourselves, each other, and the systems we operate within. Hosted by Tamara Kellam, the podcast explores how leaders and organizations can navigate uncertainty, complexity, and transformation by developing what developmental psychologists call the “self-transforming mind”—the capacity to continuously update our mental models based on reality, rather than cling rigidly to inherited beliefs. Through conversations grounded in psychology, systems thinking, and lived experience, Tamara examines collective resilience, meaning-making, and emotional intelligence in groups.
