ABOUT
The story behind the name: When I was about 16 years old I was a waitress at a local restaurant and a gentleman asked me if I knew my name (spelled Tamar) was in the Bible, he said it meant Palm Tree. When searching for a name for my business, the story came back to me and I started researching. I really wanted a name that had meaning, but wasn't just my name. I searched Palm Tree and found out that Palmette is another word for Palm Tree. When researching further into palm tree it is described as being strong, sturdy, and dependable. Palm tree is also known for being used as pillars or columns. Corinthian columns used by Greeks are my logo since they are pillars with the palm tree leaves at the top. Many Corinthian columns were constructed around 174BCE and still stand today, weathered but strong.
Mission: Creating pillars of confidence for Leadership & Success.
Vision: Helping people & businesses reach true potential.
