I had the opportunity to work with Tom early in my career while balancing an infant and toddler at home. As a busy working mom, Tom helped me be more intentional with my time at work and ultimately more confident with leading new projects. Tom’s approach was very intentional, compassionate, while direct and purposeful. Tom’s greatest attribute as a coach is that he strives to understand one’s personal background in order to deliver more impactful coaching.
He has great intuition!

About Me
I began my career in technology at Hewlett-Packard, where I was welcomed into a remarkable corporate culture rooted in uncompromising integrity and values that resonated deeply for me. Yet my career stagnated. My professional growth stalled. Safety, not satisfaction, became an overriding prerogative. I didn’t know how to harness the power of opportunities afforded to me. This period of professional stagnation came largely in lockstep with depression and struggles with personal relationships.
These challenges eventually led me on a path of self healing which transformed my personal and professional trajectory. My journey led me to focus on three essential relationships in the workplace: the relationship to myself and my own worthiness, relationships with trusted peers, and the relationship with my direct manager.
Later in my career, in a very different corporate culture than HP, I established my own art and craft of program management, leading hundred-person teams through highly complex, multi-year product and technology explorations. Over time, I developed a faith in my abilities to stand before anyone in the company–executives, senior technologists, international sales teams–to ask for what I needed, and achieved corporate approvals for $100M+ investments. I did this all with a deeper sense of satisfaction than I had ever known. Work worked for me.
Should we decide to collaborate, you’ll find managerial advancement opportunities if that is your chosen path. If you’re an individual contributor, you’ll become a deeply trusted expert. Your workplace will work for you.
Tom supported me in re-establishing my counseling practice after a cross-country move. He is an engaged listener and offers intuitive observations. I highly recommend Tom to anyone seeking collaborative
coaching on professional and life direction.
