​​​"The quality of your communication defines the quality or your relationships. The quality of your relationships defines the quality of your life."

My name is Tamara Catharina Janmaat, and I work with people and organizations who want to make challenging conversations easier.
​​​
​
As a Trainer in Nonviolent Communication,
I pass on the tools and practices developed by Marshall Rosenberg, supporting people to express themselves honestly, listen with empathy, and connect more deeply.
​
As a Process Guide and Mediator,
I bring safety, structure, and presence to support clarity and connection. Whether in the midst of a storm or working toward a healthy communication culture, I help people navigate the conversations that matter most.
​​​​
​As an Inspirational Speaker,
I share personal stories and lived experiences to invite reflection on empathy, connection, communication, and radical integrity.
Making tough conversations easier?
"Being yourself means showing up as you are, and asking for what you want. To make decisions that reflect what matters to you, feel comfortable in your own skin, and let your real voice be heard."
And yet, being yourself isn’t always easy — especially in conversations that feel tense, unclear, or high-stakes.
That’s where my work begins: helping you find the clarity, the courage, and the words to make difficult conversations easier — and more real.

I love your open character and how you can put people at ease with this. You show yourself so you also make yourself vulnerable, I think this also affects how people respond to you. I so appreciate your humour. It’s a really important part in contact and I always have to laugh really hard about you.
Ed
Tamara is very careful and understanding in her communication. Ze has no judgements, listens and checks in with everybody. Very pleasant. I loved about her training that it was not only theory, but that it just happened. She is very good in this communication. Tamara is authentic, gives me trust, she’s soft, understanding, empathic and professional.

The session came as a godsend and was timed perfectly because I got really stuck. The session allowed me to distance myself from the dilemma and leave it for what it is. For me, the emphasis now is mainly on what my own needs are. I went home completely relaxed, I had a serene peace about me and a feeling of confidence that everything would be fine. The session is still working and I notice a change in my stuck thoughts. There are new insights and there is more clarity.

I love your presence. I feel when you are with me you are with me, truly seeing and hearing me. And you have a willingness to learn: I feel your energy as a lifelong student, always curious to discover more, not only for yourself but for others.
