Tamara Myles is a speaker, author, and professor specializing in the science of human flourishing at work. She helps leaders and organizations—including Microsoft, KPMG, and MassMutual—unlock the power of meaningful work to drive peak performance, innovation, and resilience. A faculty member at Boston College and a researcher and instructor at the University of Pennsylvania, Tamara’s work challenges traditional assumptions about work, showing that when leaders cultivate meaning, they create thriving teams and lasting impact. Through her latest book, Meaningful Work (co-authored with Wes Adams), Tamara is redefining what it means to truly thrive at work. The book and its accompanying Make Work Meaningful framework demonstrate how purpose, connection, and contribution can elevate not only organizational success but also individual fulfillment. Her insights offer leaders and teams practical ways to align high performance with genuine well-being, making her a leading voice in conversations about how to live and lead at the highest level.
