Podcasts about what tamara

In my Optimizer coaching & mentorship program I teach my students that in order to enjoy their work (and not end up burning out) it’s imperative that they learn how to work smarter and not harder. Most people who teach “productivity” are simply sharing strategies that allow people to run on the hamster wheel faster and more efficiently. I prefer to teach people how to be more effective with their time and energy so what they have on their to-do list actually matters. Today's guest, Tamara Torres, is the founder of Optima Results Coaching (I swear the name similarity is all coincidence!) where she teaches practical solutions to improve habits, increase productivity, and create time and energy for what matters most. Her background in psychology, integrative medicine, and meditation give her a holistic approach to not only coaching clients to successful careers but teaching them to also build more fulfilling, well-balanced lives beyond their jobs. In our conversation Tamara shares her insights and strategies for aligning your values with your time and explains how they are ultimately much more connected to your productivity than your apps, to-do lists, or your calendar. As an added bonus you'll hear her turn the tables when she puts ME on the hot seat! I share how my habit of always searching for a better way has led to great success but also great detriment. She offers her analysis and some important questions for me to consider to more accurately align my (exceedingly high) expectations with reality. If you’re looking for a better way to manage your day, your energy, and your life to find a version of “productivity” that works for you, this is the place to begin.

Tamara Gooch’s love for photography is equaled only by her love of horses, and her passion for each subject is revealed in the artistry, rich color and unique focus of every image she shoots. After fifteen years as a professional photographer, Tamara still gets excited every time she picks up her camera.    Tamara’s catalog of work is filled with museum quality pieces which will be treasured by their owners for generations to come. She believes that photography is about seizing moments of life, and her work is the fusion of emotions, passion for the horse and the world around her. Tamara is on a quest to bring back the printed image so that families can relive the memories and love captured in a photograph for years to come.    Tamara travels the world to do custom photo shoots, creating professional images to promote stallions, breeding and sales programs. In addition, she offers photography workshops ranging from one-day intensives to two week-long European adventures. Tamara welcomes photographers of any skill level to her sessions, so long as they are willing to learn about capturing the soul and essence of the horse—their spirit, power and beauty. Workshops teach students about the rules of perspective and composition, but also how those rules can be broken to create fabulous shots.    Based in the Boise, Idaho area, Tamara’s work often features western inspired themes and wild horses. In 2012, Tamara was one of the first artists featured in the Desert Caballeros Museum’s “Cowgirls with a Camera” exhibit. She was recognized by Ranch and Reata magazine as one of the top five photographers they have ever published and has been named one of the world’s Top 3 Equine Photographers.      Topics of Discussion:  [:18] About Elise’s guest today, Tamara Gooch.  [:46] Tamara talks about combining her passion for photography and horses to create her dream career.  [2:33] What it means to Tamara when she hears how others have been moved by her photography.  [4:55] What Tamara feels her photos reveal about herself.  [7:55] Was there a pivotal moment when Tamara recognized the important role that horses play in her life?  [11:04] Tamara’s special horses and their deep connection.  [16:00] What Tamara finds so alluring about old western towns and western heritage, and why shooting them carries deep meaning for her.  [18:41] What Tamara wants to capture in her photography.  [20:45] About being authentic in her work and the images she creates.  [23:03] Tamara’s thoughts on how horses and wildlife teach us about honesty and authenticity.  [25:54] How Tamara’s voice as a photographer informs what and how she shoots.  [28:02] Tamara’s process for designing her photography travel workshops and what the participants experience and learn.  [32:17] Tamara shares some fun stories from workshops over the years.  [40:04] How Tamara internalizes and experiences the different environments she shoots in, from palatial European villas to remote desert locations.  [42:38] About Elise’s fantastic book, A Parent’s Guide to Riding Lessons.  [45:17] The importance of understanding animal behavior in wildlife photography.  [47:14] Tamara offers advice to those interested in building a career based on their own passions.  [50:37] About next week’s episode of Because of Horses.  [52:02] Tamara and Elise discuss the impact of taking online images and copyright infringement.  [56:16] Tamara’s favorite cameras and lenses to use while shooting.  [58:00] Where to find Tamara and her work online.    Know Someone Inspirational, Whose Life Has Been Forever Changed Because of Horses? Because of Horses would love to get to share their story!  To recommend someone please send an email to elise@becauseofhorses.com.    Mentioned in this Episode:  Tamara Gooch’s Photography[Text Wrapping Break]WesternPhotographers.com  Tamara Gooch’s photography on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest  A Parent’s Guide to Riding Lessons: Everything You Need to Know to Survive and Thrive with a Horse-Loving Kid, by Elise Chand  United States Pony Club  Next week’s episode of Because of Horses  Episode 34: Portugal’s Equestrian Treasures:  the Valenca Family    Like what you hear? Because of Horses would love to hear your feedback!  Please email elise@becauseofhorses.com to send Because of Horses your thoughts.    To Support the Podcast:  • Donate on Paypal to help keep Because of Horses running — all amounts are welcome!  • Subscribe: RSS Feed, iTunes, Google Play, TuneIn, Stitcher, and Player FM

WELLNESS TRAVEL IDEAS MountainTrek hiking retreat Swellwomen surf retreat Mountaineering in Zion National Park WELLNESS TRAVEL TIPS Falling is okay! If you are only focused on the outcome, you are going to miss all the little things in between. Learning to surf brought everything Elena has gone through in life full circle. Surfing may not be for you but something out there could do the same for you, so don’t miss out on the little things! It’s not all about the destination! The first question to ask yourself when planning that solo trip/time is, why is it that you need to get away? Is it just because you need to reset, because you need sleep… Pick your destination and design your itinerary depending on this answer, so that your trip will fit with that purpose. Don’t get caught up in checking things off your list! Fully embrace what's around you, instead of getting stuck in your expectations. Expect the unexpected! Allowing for downtime in your trip can go a long way with how the rest of you trip will go. FAVORITE TRAVEL GEAR Elena’s travel ‘uniform’ is a pair of Athleta pants and shirts, both short sleeve and long sleeve. She always has a scarf as one of her layers. She is also very much a carry on only girl, and her choice of luggage is Eagle Creek. TIP OF THE WEEK You can use Amazon Locker to ship things to yourself when you are trying to travel light. This helps you avoid hotel package handling fees. You can ship to one of these and pick it up wherever you are! FOLLOW US AND SPREAD THE WORD!
