"When it comes to executive coaching, Tom is the best! Tom can see through the smoke and fog and get people to look at their own behavior and understand how it is either helping them or getting in their way. Managing people is critical to business success and this is where executive coaching adds value."
—Mike Beitler, Ph.D.,
Professor at The University of NC
"We received many positive comments about Tom as a speaker, the content of his presentation, and its relevance to human resource issues the attendees face."
—Leah Price, First Vice President
Central Carolina Bank (SunTrust Banks, Inc.)
"Coaching is not about fixing problems, it is about gaining new skills to take you to the next level of leadership. Coaching can catapult your career forward and help you develop much faster than through trial and error learning. Tom helped me transform from a high-performing individual to a high performing leader of other professionals. He has given me greater confidence in my own leadership abilities. He instills accountability and is laser -focused on helping you reach your professional goals."
"I am a retired Army Colonel and I was skeptical about what new things coaching could teach me about leadership. I have to admit I was very impressed with Tom and executive coaching opened my eyes to a lot of new leadership opportunities. Coaching is customized and tailored to your own specific needs and that makes it so much more effective than just attending a class. Coaching has given me some new tools to more effectively deal with conflict and persuade and influence other people."
—Dan West
(U.S. Army Colonel, Retired)
"The assessments Tom uses are a critical factor in helping you understand your own preferences and styles. These insights help you gain perspective into things you do well and where you need to invest time and energy to develop as a professional. Tom's background as a psychologist allows him to select assessments that have good validity. The assessments he uses are well researched and not just something he downloaded off the internet.
—Tammi Reitzel, MBA,
CFO of The CapsuleGroup
"Tom's coaching has helped me become a better leader by providing me with new tools to build strong teams, manage conflict and act more confidently. He is a great listener and spent time getting to know me and understand the particular leadership challenges I faced as a college director. Unlike other leadership programs I have attended, I never felt Tom was using a canned approach. Tom's coaching was totally customized to meet my needs as a professional."
—Ronda Winters
Director of Extension Campus
Randolph Community College
"Coaching is so much better than just going to a one day workshop or seminar. Seminars open you up to ideas, but coaching gets you to challenge yourself and tackle issues you would prefer to avoid. Tom is really supportive and encouraging, but he helps you stay accountable and focused on meeting your goals."
—Lynn Wells, Director
Volunteer Services & Communications
Moses Cone Hospital
"Tom has a great way of connecting with you and communicating complex issues in a simple language that makes it easy to understand. He always has a quote or story that illustrates the point he is trying to make. For example, Tom always says, "Remember that change is a process - not an event." Believe it or not, that little saying has helped me deal with people who are not performing the way I need them to and has helped me remember that no one improves overnight."
—Melanie Jones
