Ever had a 3am moment where you looked in the mirror and said ”I hate my life”? Tameka Bramwell did — and it changed everything.
Jonathan Mamaril sits down with Tameka Bramwell, co-founder of Bramwell Partners and a 16-year veteran of HR consulting, for a raw and honest conversation about the messy path that led her into HR. Long before she was helping businesses fix their people problems, Tameka was the general manager of her family's furniture transport business — a brutal, cutthroat industry that taught her more about leadership (and imposter syndrome) than any textbook ever could.
From losing her temper in front of her team and having to rebuild trust from scratch, to the sleepless night that finally pushed her to change her whole life, Tameka's story is a masterclass in resilience. Jonathan and Tameka dig into what it really takes to lead people well, why so many HR professionals burn themselves out trying to fix everything, and where she believes the profession is heading next.
In this episode, we cover:
- Growing up in a family transport business and becoming GM in her twenties
- Battling imposter syndrome as a young leader
- The moment she broke down and decided to change how she led
- Why she went back to study HR and started Bramwell Partners
- Her advice for early career HR professionals
- Advice for senior and experienced HR leaders
- Navigating psychosocial safety and workers' comp claims
- The right to disconnect and how businesses are handling it
- The future of HR and the rise of the HR Business Partner role
- Her favourite podcasts and how she protects her own wellbeing
If you've ever felt like an imposter in your own career, Tameka's story is proof that backing yourself is a skill you can build, one hard conversation at a time.
