Dr. Tamara S. Lyn

Dr. Tamara S. Lyn has unique insights into leadership after decades of service in federal corrections. Her fascinating career as a psychologist-leader culminated in the role of Warden, where she was one of very few women, and even fewer psychologists, in the position.

She is the founder of High Ready Coaching and Consulting, supporting leaders and teams in high-stakes, high-impact careers, including law enforcement, health care, and higher education. She uses strengths-based interventions to develop confident leadership that aligns with core values and mission goals.
