Welcome back to The Project Elevate Podcast with Tammy Benay Perry! Project Elevate is on a mission to promote diversity and inclusion in the workplace by elevating one unique voice at a time. Each week, we interview a business or thought leader in the DEI space. In these informative conversations, we dive into the practical steps that the professional world can take to promote equality and belonging. At the same time, we provide advice and motivation for underrepresented professionals looking to make the next big move in their careers and bust up the old boys network.

Project Elevate is hosted by Tammy Benay Perry, the CEO and Founder of Project Elevate Consulting. Tammy is an executive communications specialist, a diversity and inclusion advocate, and a professional branding strategist who coaches leaders on the rise to clearly communicate their value. Tammy has been coaching senior level, C-level, and highly performing executives in transition for more than a decade. She brings this wealth of experience to Project Elevate Consulting as she fulfills her passion as a diversity and inclusion advocate within the corporate world.

On this week’s episode, we’re joined by the phenomenal Dr. Donna Hamlin. Donna has dedicated 40 years to working with C-suite executives and boards to build sustainable success. As CEO of Boardwise, she and her team work globally with organizations to: 1) create best practices in governance; 2) educate and certify directors and candidates for board roles, 3) place directors in ideal director roles, and 4) conduct independent board and executive assessments.

This week’s motivational message from our guest was: “There is much wisdom in the witty side of life”
