Facilitator Bio — Tami L. Farber MSW
Tami L. Farber is a mother, truth seeker, healer, provocateur, and culture curator. She is the founder of Strategic Wholeness, a leadership and consulting practice devoted to the simple, radical premise that healing and strategy are one path. For over three decades, Tami has walked that path with leaders, teams, and communities across sectors and continents—guiding them to interrupt harmful patterns, repair what’s been fractured by racialized and cultural trauma, and design cultures rooted in dignity, belonging, and courage.
A grounded visionary, Tami brings clarity where there is complexity and steadiness where there is overwhelm. She listens deeply, names what others are circling, and invites the brave, practical steps that move people from reactivity into alignment. As a healer and provocateur, she refuses the false choice between tenderness and truth—holding a mirror with care while calling forth accountability, repair, and right relationship. Her spaces are known for blending reflection, embodiment, and actionable practice, helping leaders reconnect to courage, humanity, and purpose.
Tami brings over 25 years of experience as a global facilitator, leadership coach, and strategist. Her work has partnered with non-profit, public and private agencies, government, non-governmental, and foundations to design healing-centered, equity-driven systems and cultures of trust and care. A white, queer Jewish woman and lifelong practitioner of healing-centered leadership, Tami is committed to the ongoing work of unlearning, alignment, and liberation—for herself, for leaders, and for the systems we shape together.
