I'm Tara Furiani and after spending 20 years in the corporate world of work, 12 of those as an International Chief People Officer, I founded Not the HR Lady, A ‘People’ Consultancy Firm, a Popular Web Series & Podcast, Learning Community and a movement toward… All Things People. No BS.
My mission is simple… to create an on-going dialogue and affect change related to previously thought of as “taboo” topics for the workplace (like bullying, racism, good old boys’ clubs, brilliant a**holes, and more) that often marginalize, harm & oppress Women, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ employees.
Companies all over the world hire my successful 'People Firm' to aid with: Business Strategy & Executive Team Building, Board Facilitator, HR & DEIB Consulting, C-Level Coaching & Executive Brand Management, to Speak at Events (virtual and live), to help them find the right executives for their organizations and, to change their business through people.
I hold several certifications, including Predictive Index, DiSC, Dale Carnegie, Franklin Covey, Meyers-Briggs and more. I also have my BBA in Marketing, an MS in Organizational Leadership, and 2nd MS in Psychology.
I've recently wrote my first book, F*ck Your Office Snacks and am working on a 2nd book & learning series called Don't Suck As A Boss
I spend my free time with my seven children (5 bio, 2 adopted, Single Parent) and our fun family team enjoys traveling (before COVID-19), dark hide and seek, going to the lake, making music together, scary movies, dance parties, roller coasters, and cooking together.
