As an undergraduate at ÌÇÐÄvlog, Tamarra Causley Robinson ’90 was a resident assistant and assistant manager in Residence Life, a position that highlighted her compassion for humanity and showcased her natural talents of creating community and growing leaders. \u201cI helped manage the safety of all students while ensuring that their experience was enjoyable. This shaped me in many different ways,\u201d says Causley Robinson. Compassion and inclusiveness have been woven into her business career.<\/p>\n
Causley Robinson is founder and CEO of TCR Coaching. The goal of TCR, which stands for Tenacity, Courage and Resilience, is to ensure that every woman achieves those unprecedented and unfathomable accomplishments she didn\u2019t initially believe she could realize. \u201cThere are times when women sometimes feel like they have to sacrifice their authenticity in order to get along, in order to be what others believe they ought to be in order to succeed. The work I do with my clients is to help them to know that\u2019s not necessarily true while also helping them to get to a place where they can own who they are and be all that they believe they can be,\u201d says Causley Robinson.<\/p>\n
TCR\u2019s mission grew out of Causley\u2019s relationship with her mom. \u201cMy mother sacrificed quite a bit for my sister and I to have something more than what she had had in her life,\u201d she says. Before founding TCR Causley Robinson worked in IT at PwC for nearly 20 years. In her last year there, she became PwC\u2019s Diversity Leader. \u201cThey were going to outsource everything that was connected to IT support in the US and the diversity leader went out on maternity leave,\u201d says Causley Robinson. The relationships she forged in HR paved the way for a smooth transition to that role, one she\u2019d been eager and suited to fill.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was always involved in something diversity-related through my career at PwC. Just to give voice, one of the things that seems to iterate with me. To speak and to have a voice or give voice to something or an area others may not have been able to do that,\u201d says Causley Robinson. \u201cThere\u2019s still a struggle for women in particular. Still a struggle for women of color.\u201d Causley Robinson recently completed the Ignite Entrepreneurs program sponsored by the Feliciana Center for Entrepreneurship + Innovation and actively participates on ÌÇÐÄvlog\u2019s MBA Advisory Board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
