SILENCE

When Silence isn’t golden!

Brave conversations start with seeing what’s possible – first in yourself, then in each other. Tammy’s keynotes open the door to honest dialogue about mental wellness and chip away at the stigma that keeps too many people quiet.

You’ll leave with language that feels human (not clinical), the courage to ask for help – or offer it – when it matters, and a room that realizes silence wasn’t safety, it was just… silence.

Meet

Tammy Ward

Tammy served 24 years with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, working across Canada in general duty, major crime, domestic violence, and community relations. She knows the weight of high-pressure environments, and what it takes to rebuild when life gets hard.

Today, Tammy brings that lived experience to the stage with keynotes and workshops on brave communication, resilience, the power of belief, and mental wellness. Her talks blend raw honesty with practical tools, helping audiences move from silence to dialogue, from overwhelm to action. She champions women to rise with confidence and boundaries, and equips leaders to create psychological safety on their teams.

It’s OK not to be OK – and it’s powerful to talk about it out loud. Audiences leave feeling seen, supported, and ready to start the conversations that change lives (saves lives).

She Rises

Real talk about navigating male-dominated spaces, overcoming setbacks, and finding power in community. Practical language for leading your life and your work.

The Unseen Scar: First Responders and Health Care Professionals
