Tara Ferguson

I have over 20 years’ experience in business, with roles focussed on people. From HR Business Partner, to Employee Wellbeing Manager, to Senior Lean Coach, and more. I have worked in various industry sectors including FMCG, Defence, TechBio, and more. My purpose in life is to have a positive impact on people, and I want my work to reflect that.

I am passionate about two main areas - leadership development, and employee wellbeing. I offer a range of solutions in both these areas, drawing on my experience, skills, qualifications and expertise.

In 2023 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, and this put a whole new emphasis on my existing life approach to ‘make the most of it’ - I decided I wanted to create a business where I was able to work solely in the areas I love, to support and encourage the development of individuals and teams, and to help businesses create meaningful strategy and action plans to improve their employees’ wellbeing. Using the touchstone word I came back to time and again during my treatment, Onward With You was born.

Outside of work, I live with my husband and teenage daughter in rural Fife, Scotland. I enjoy reading, cold water dips, CrossFit, cooking (and eating!), and spending time with family and friends.

I’d love to hear from you (click here to contact me), and I look forward to working with you!
