TAMI GAINES holds an MBA from Columbia University and has more than 20 years experience as an entrepreneur, trainer and corporate executive. After successfully growing her company to nearly a half million in sales, it all came crashing down after the events of September 11th. With more than $100,000 in debt, Tami committed to working smarter not harder. Tami lives in the intersection of spirituality and business.

No amount of professional success could have prepared Tami for the series of seemingly unthinkable events in her personal life that set off the most difficult and transformational two years of her life. During this time, Tami found herself hospitalized for six-weeks; navigating an 18-month journey with her premature twins in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit; dealing with the legalities of an unexpected divorce after nearly 12 years of marriage; and losing two of her closest mentors, her grandmothers, within three months.
Rather than let her circumstances become her conclusion, Tami lived from a place of gratitude, faith and truth, welcoming each moment for what it was – an opportunity to live a bigger life.

“It is only in the light of your weakness, that your inner strength can shine” — Tami Gaines
