YOUR CHIEF SHIFT OFFICER

About Tom

“My gosh, he’s a different person. There’s an entirely new side to him. It’s really working – let’s lock that in. I don’t get the sense he’s swimming upstream. A switch was flipped.”

CFO on Tom’s coaching of his VP

“Since our first connection, I’ve definitely learned more about myself than I have through most any other professional relationship. You are good at what you do.”

Corporate Director

“I’ve gone to lots of training in my life. I’ve never said before that this or that training has changed my way of operating and skills. I do feel like you have changed my way of managing and supervising as a result of working with you. I got so much more out of the program than I was expecting.”

Federal agency supervisor

“I have been taking a chance on saying something, and actually have had some influence. I didn’t die, no one told me I was nuts. Since talking to you and being in this position, I’ve been taking more personal risk in coming out of my comfort zone, instead of waiting to agree with someone else who initiates. I’m actually saying something first and then others agree with me!”
