I have had the pleasure of knowing Tamara for 2 years; since her move to Melbourne from London. She recently assisted me in a strategic planning day and in a cultural diversity workshop.
I find Tamara to be a highly experienced, commercially-orientated and client-centric professional who has consulting, coaching and strategic business partner skills. She is an exceptionally adept problem solver who strives to achieve positive outcomes with her clients. She is highly energetic, optimistic and reliable with follow through.

An experienced and trusted SME HR Advisor, Tamara's strengths are in delivering excellence, working both operationally and strategically with Talent Management, whilst being a hands on problem solver.
Her role with Vitil HR is to continue to deliver on our high service standards whilst continuing to strengthen our team, serving our clients and the emerging business opportunities in Melbourne.

Gravitas HR Consulting is an organisation that delivers. Tamara’s knowledge of organisational transformation, transition and change, policy and organisational development is extensive and impressive. Tamara’s professional and effective interpersonal skills make a real difference that prove complex situations can be addressed and managed in a supportive environment. Tamara and Gravitas HR Consulting proved their worth through developing effective professional bespoke solutions for a number of organisations we work with which aided substantive business partnerships to thrive.
Tamara as the driving force in Gravitas HR Consulting will enhance a private sector business and voluntary or statutory sector organisation’s ability to do what needs to be done to deliver those priority outcomes. I would have no hesitation in commissioning Gravitas HR Consulting to work on any HR and organisational change projects within or outside the diversity arena.

It has been a great experience working with Tamara on the setting up of the Borough's mediation scheme. The project from initiation to launch lasted a year. During this whole time Tamara's dynamism and enthusiam was great. She has been the driving force to ensure that an effective mediation scheme, with highly trained volunteers, has been launched.

Tamara came to me as a graduate at The Weeks Group plc where she assisted me across the HR spectrum as a graduate including helping WEEKS develop its first Performance management competency frameworks; set up support; centralise, run and develop the training function and supported me in general operational and strategic HR planning. I have continued to mentor Tamara over the last 14 years so she is well known to me in a professional/developmental capacity and I have watched her progress into an effective, highly credible and professional individual and I can highly recommend her and Gravitas HR consultancy.

Gravitas HR Consulting has a broad field of competence and Tamara helped us set up our company's HR function some years ago. It still operates well and has needed little amendment. Tamara’s professional knowledge was very helpful and enabled us to make a smooth transition. She employed effective interpersonal skills which made some complex situations easy to manage and I have no hesitation in recommending her consultancy. I recently asked her advice on a number of human resource matters in a non-profit organisation which was similarly helpful. She's pleasant to have around and without being intrusive, gets things done.

Tamara supported me in the delivery of a complex diversity and inclusion project for one of my key clients. Her collaborative and consultative approach meant that she was a pleasure to work with, as well as her ability to ensure all the deliverables were met to a high standard. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Tamara on any other HR consultancy projects in and outside the diversity arena.

Making the move to a new job can be daunting, but making the move to a new job in a new country is terrifying. Tamara and Nach have been a fantastic support to me on this journey. They've motivated me every step of the way, including weekly check ins via video and phone chats, often staying on later to facilitate these because of the time difference, and always with a friendly demeanour. They provided me with valuable insights and knowledge into the professional registration process, which I wouldn't have been able to do without them. They took the time to get to know me and what I wanted and found a perfect job for me in my preferred location. I cannot recommend them enough, they made the process seamless.

Tamara Seif is a very special person!
I don't say those words lightly.
Tamara is an individual and a professional with substance, at a depth that very few people have acquired in their personality. Her diverse life experiences along with her studies, working and living across different continents and places across the globe have given her this rare uniqueness.
In my long life, it has been very rare to find a person who truly listens to what is said by the speaker and is not distracted by their immediate perception of the person.
Tamara listened to what I was saying during our recent meetings and followed up promptly with me.
Tamara asked me for more information regarding my journey, and my unique story as a person with a parability (disability) since the age of 10 months, and now I am a Parability Advocate & Awareness Educator. Tamara took the time to understand me and my goals and she has been very willing and proactive in connecting me with broader networks and people both locally and interstate that could support me in advancing my cause around being a Parability Advocate. This has enabled me to forge a more successful path of translating my message about the area that is quite complex and largely misunderstood.
If you are looking for a courageous, ‘leading from the heart and mind ‘ coach and leadership and inclusion consultant, inclusion-focused Mentor, or someone who can support your personal development then Tamara, and Gravitas Consulting Services may be a good place for you. If you are after support from a practitioner and a professional who cares, listens with integrity and substance then I highly recommend you reach out to Tamara Seif.

Michael was very professional and knowledgeable on the topics I required support with. Sessions were not rushed and time was taken to listen to my concerns and worries to ensure the best level of support could be provided. Would recommend for anyone requiring a change of perspective or support in taking forward steps and initiating change in their personal life.

Michael was very professional and kind in helping me seek mental health help with my anxieties
Every session was well planned, and provided me with strategies to help solve issues. Very responsive and accomodating without pressure.
I had a mix of in person and online sessions. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking help to better their mental health.
