Tamara's primary mission is to address the shortage of specifically educated and trained cybersecurity professionals. The funding she has obtained from the State of Michigan has allowed her to develop the Michigan CyberPatriot program. CyberPatriot provides a structured educational experience for well over 1000 high school and middle school students and cybersecurity teaching materials for Michigan’s K-12 educators. In that respect. She has facilitated the Center’s unique engagement in cybersecurity teaching at the middle and high school level, primarily through innovative cybersecurity summer camps. In conjunction with this program, she created a digital badging system to further motivate and distinguish Michigan CyberPatriot participation, which is the first of its kind in the nation. (https://www.micyberpatriot.com) Finally, she and her husband, Dan Shoemaker, published a groundbreaking book for Secondary school teachers entitled “Teaching Cybersecurity” with CRC Press., and can be purchased on AMAZON!

I believe that people and organizations thrive in an environment of "violent positivity". Core values are the cornerstone of organizational effectiveness and efficiency. People will always be fallible - and that's normal and expected - but organizations can foster a culture that reinforces positive behaviors and dissuades undesired ones.
I believe that people and organizations thrive in an environment of "violent positivity". Core values are the cornerstone of organizational effectiveness and efficiency. People will always be fallible - and that's normal and expected - but organizations can foster a culture that reinforces positive behaviors and dissuades undesired ones. It's our job as executive leaders to build an organization that tees our people up for success.
Caring for people, valuing their inputs, and encouraging innovation leads to spectacular results ! Violent positivity is all about accentuating all of the good yet properly balancing accountability.
People will do amazing things if they are given the tools, motivation, and ownership to achieve. My philosophy is that executive leadership is best exercised by an "ask, don't task" and "sell, don't tell" approach. People can, and do, make mistakes. We shouldn't expect perfection. However, by empowering people, properly designing our procedural checks and balances, and planning for contingencies - we can achieve organizational excellence.
The results from this approach have been spectacular. At ANG Safety we achieved a 67% reduction and the 4 safest years in ANG's history. Readiness and compliance increased across the enterprise despite the uncertain fiscal environment. Consistent results speak volumes.
