He facilitates this behavioral change through facilitated workshops, leadership coaching and team coaching. His desire is to make teams and organizations a place where talent flourishes.

“I worked with Thom on several occasions. His candor was refreshing which led us/me to better quality solutions for the different issues in which he provided counsel. He helped me develop excellent and meaningful Role Expectation Profiles for me and my key managers which I still use today. Thom is very perceptive. His insight about people is thoughtful and right on target. Thom is always up on the latest trends in management and organizational development. The very best thing about Thom is his smile, easy laugh, and great attitude! He is the best and always tells you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Okay, I know that was more than one thing and I could go on, but won’t.”

"Thom is a terrific facilitator with the ability to get an entire audience involved in discussion and issue resolution. His delivery of topics range from management skills to "hard-to-have" discussions and are always up-to-date and understandable."

Windi G.

Director, Business Processing

"I worked with Thom as my executive coach for six months. It was a fantastic experience! Thom brought incredibly fresh and informed perspectives on leadership and how to leverage strengths. I have seldom come across someone who was able to understand my style and dynamics so quickly, and then translated his vast knowledge into practical, measurable ways to add value. I recommend him enthusiastically."
