I am Tamar Kelenjeridze — Organizational Psychologist, Strategic HR Advisor, Trainer, and Certified LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Facilitator.
My professional focus primarily includes assessing and developing organizational culture, strategic planning of HR processes, delivering training programs, and evaluating and developing competencies.
Learning & Education
My professional journey began in 2005, when I graduated from the Dimitri Uznadze Institute of Psychology and became a General and Medical Psychologist.
A few years later, as my experience and practice shaped a clear direction, I moved to Valencia and Coimbra, where in 2015 I obtained a Master’s degree in Work, Organizational and Personnel Psychology.
While working in organizational contexts, I became increasingly drawn to creative and unconventional approaches—how play and visual thinking can help people and organizations better understand each other and make decisions. Driven by this interest, in 2017 I completed the LEGO SERIOUS PLAY training and became an LSP Certified Facilitator, and in 2021 I decided to explore the mechanisms of play more deeply by completing the Gamification Certified Courses at Erasmus University Rotterdam and Wharton School Online.
The process of working with organizational cultures highlighted even more clearly the need to deepen my knowledge of communication psychology. That is why I decided to advance my expertise in this field, and in 2023 I completed the certified course “Transactional Analysis 101” at The Berne Institute.
Alongside this, when it comes to improving human experiences, my interests go beyond psychology—at present, I am undertaking the Google UX Design Professional course, learning how to create solutions that are not only visually appealing but also meaningful and human-centered.
Professional Journey
For over 15 years, I have been working in the field of Psychology and Human Resources. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to be involved across diverse sectors—ranging from non-governmental organizations to public and educational institutions, and ultimately private business.
Non-governmental sector: I worked at the organization “Tanadgoma”, where my main responsibilities included conducting research and providing psychological counseling to vulnerable groups within the framework of a USAID project.
Public-educational sector: I worked at the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, where I served as a Psychologist responsible for the design and delivery of training courses, as well as for quality research.
Business sector: My core HR professional experience is connected to business organizations, where I have worked with major employers such as IKEA of Sweden, Sheraton Metechi Palace, Evolution, Nikora Holding, and Nikora Trade. Each company I have worked with has provided me with valuable opportunities for experience and professional development.
In recent years, I have been working as an Independent Consultant, which allows me to collaborate with companies and teams across various industries. This form of work is not only a professional choice for me but also a unique space for continuous growth and new professional challenges.
