Coaching Philosophy

More than thirty years of coaching has led Tom to hold three strong beliefs about coaching. First, corporate coaching has the potential to help leaders develop behaviors that can balance existing strengths. Second, coaching cannot change anyone’s basic character or personality. Third, leadership coaching will not be transformative unless clear, measurable goals are established and agreed on. During his work with clients, one of Tom’s joys is discovering each person’s learning style and tailoring his style to optimize the coaching.

Results Achieved

A vice-president had been stalled in her career for several years. Feedback about her was very positive, except that she didn’t “feel” like an SVP yet. During her coaching with Tom, she developed her leadership voice and elevated her profile. Within a year, she received her long-awaited promotion.
