About Us

It took a long time for our CEO and Founder, Tamiko Nettles, to decide to "Let Go": 

• Let Go of not reaching her full potential.
• Let Go of what others thought if she created something that had not been done before in an organization or herself. 
• Let Go of being silent in rooms that did not want to hear from their greatest constituents - their staff or each other.  
• Let Go of creating a traditional path to build capacity in teams and organizations.
• Let Go of seeing that although there is no way to fund an initiative, develop a team, or grow supportive teams, it can be done and be successful. 

These are just some things Tamiko had to "Let Go" of in the "Waiting Phase" of our Phases of Letting Go™, and she wants to ensure that it does not take YOU or YOUR Team that much time to do it too. 

For over 20 years, Tamiko has been a powerful advocate and voice for those often overlooked—leaders, educators, students of color, individuals experiencing homelessness, and the mission-driven professionals working tirelessly behind the scenes. Her work across education, nonprofit, and human services sectors has centered on one core belief: when people feel seen, valued, and empowered, GREATNESS follows.

As a former educator, author, coach, program leader, motivational speaker, and advisor to organizational leaders, Tamiko has led initiatives that consistently boost morale, improved communication, strengthened leadership pipelines, and build connected, resilient teams. 

Now, as Founder and CEO of Let Go—Be Great, she brings this same passion and proven strategy to mission-driven organizations across the nonprofit and corporate sectors so they can receive the support to do it effectively.
