Dr. Tammy Carter

Professional Coach & Consultant

With more than two decades of executive leadership experience across higher education, global nonprofits, and diverse community organizations, I have dedicated my career to helping leaders grow with purpose and confidence. My work around the world—coaching individuals, strengthening institutions, and guiding mission-driven teams through meaningful transformation—has shaped a coaching approach that is both strategic and deeply human.

Drawing on expertise in transformational leadership, strategic planning, organizational development, partnership cultivation, and cultural intelligence, I create coaching environments where clients feel supported, challenged, and empowered to step boldly into their next chapter. My academic background—including a PhD in Leadership for Higher Education and a Master of Divinity focused on urban studies—grounds my work in both rigorous insight and practical wisdom.

At the heart of my philosophy is a simple belief: leadership is an act of service, and every leader deserves clarity, accountability, and a trusted partner on the journey. If you’re ready to grow your capacity, refine your vision, or navigate change with greater confidence, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Let’s connect and begin your leadership transformation.
