Award-winning speaker and levity expert Tami Evans helps organizations transform heavy into high-performing through the strategic power of levity.

Meet Tami Evans

Your Spark Plug For
Lighter Living

Tami Evans is living proof that transformation doesn’t have to feel heavy. As a former corporate manager turned professional actress (plot twist!), Tami brings a unique blend of business savvy and stage presence to every keynote.

With an MFA and degrees in Broadcasting Communications and Theatre tucked in her back pocket, she’s helped industry giants like Microsoft, Raytheon, The New York Times, and Dove Chocolate transform their workplace culture through the power of levity. As the former president of the National Speakers Association of NYC, she knows a thing or two about captivating a room.

“The Lighter Your Feel, the bolder you show up.”

—Tami Evans

But here’s what really gets her excited: turning those “Charlie Brown teacher moments” (mwaah wmaaah mwahh) into laugh-out-loud lessons that stick. Through stories that entertain and tools that transform, Tami shows leaders how to create cultures where teams don’t just show up—they shine. Because she believes if they’re laughing, they’re listening, and if they’re listening, they’re learning.

When she’s not lighting up stages and transforming teams across the country, you might find her dabbling in voiceover work, creating illustrations, or bringing characters to life through professional acting. But whether she’s consulting with business leaders or facilitating workshops, one thing remains constant: her commitment to making business feel less like business.
