  • Grow your leadership confidence and skills

    Don't settle for "getting through it" or "keeping the plates spinning", you can learn to thrive.

    With my science-backed toolkit, I can help you become the leader you're meant to be.

    Lead Yourself

    • Do you find yourself unable to manage your day, constantly firefighting, being completely reactive and overwhelmed with your workload?
    • Are you tripped up by your own shadows as you react to events and people in ways that you later wish you hadn't?
    • Did nobody ever teach you how to lead and it's just too hard to master on the fly?
    • Do you feel like an imposter or lack confidence in your own abilities and fear other people finding out?

    Imagine you started each day feeling clear, confident and well-organised, knowing that there was little or nothing that could blow you off course and ended each day with the warm satisfaction of progress and a good job done.

    Lead Your Team

    • Struggling with a team who bring complaints but not solutions, expect you to solve all their problems and don't recognise their own shortcomings?
    • Finding it hard to step away from micro-managing people's work because you are worried about failure and consequences?
    • Facing an ever-faster pace of change or simply ever-higher bars set by your own leadership team whose aspirations outmatch their ability to help you get there?
    • Missing the secrets of how to effectively mentor and coach your people, so they grow as you grow?

    Imagine seeing your team grow in confidence and ability, needing your day-to-day steering much less and acres of time in your diary for you to think and deliver on a strategy for growth and success.

    Lead Change

    • Living in an organisation full of change skeptics and where new initiatives get shot down and frequently fail?
    • Unsure how to drive changes outside your team where you have influence but not control and fear the obstacles and barriers in your way?
    • Fed up with fads and silver bullets and just wanting a simple way to approach change that is flexibility and foolproof, so that you can get the best from your opportunities?
    • Need to know how to win support, make friends and get people excited about change?

    Imagine you had a secret sauce that could make the real problems visible, challenge bad behaviours, create psychological safety and transform your workplace into a supportive people-driven paradise.

  • "It’s not whether you get knocked down; it’s whether you get up.” - Vince Lombardi.

  • Build deep knowledge of People and Leadership

    Nobody learns how to lead in school. That's why so many are useless at it.

    Let's use the latest cognitive neuroscience and behavioural psychology to fix this together.

    Fun, Practical & Scientific

    • Fed up with dry theoretical courses and materials on leadership?
    • Desperate for something practical that you can actually apply outside of the classroom?
    • Want to learn about Leadership anchored in real science and behavioural psychology?
    • Want to have a fun highly interactive and immersive learning experience?
    • Want to learn from real leaders who have really been there and done it?

    Imagine there was a comprehensive training programme tailored specifically to deliver these outcomes, with small class sizes, extensive face-to-face workshops and where NOT A SINGLE SLIDE was ever presented but all the key concepts and ideas were simple to learn.

    Personal, Friendly & Supported

    • Want a training programme that is personalised to your needs, your challenges and your practical questions?
    • Keen to meet other leads and make new friends, learn from each other and share your experiences?
    • Want a training that doesn't end in the classroom, that offers support outside and beyond the programme?
    • Looking for 1-1 coaching support to extract the most from your learning programme and finetune how you apply what you've learned?
    • Want to learn the secrets other courses don't give you?

    Imagine you could have all of that with an experience that matches your needs, to move you from the leader you are today to the leader you want to become, with comprehensive support and a network built around you so you're leadership journey is never again a lonely one.

  • “Successful leadership is not about being tough or soft, sensitive or assertive, but about a set of attributes. First and foremost is character” - Warren Bennis.

  • Public Speaking

    Are you looking for a compelling speaker who is contrarian, entertaining, informative, creates a buzz online and offline, creates healthy robust debate in the room and makes people want to come back?

     

    I can speak about the nature of true leadership, our most common misconceptions and the skills and qualities that most people overlook in their hero-worship of famous leaders, plus how to bring that into the workplace in a healthy, coherent and ecological way.

     

    It's an open secret. Book me for your conference and I'll reveal it.

  • About Me 

     

    Hi, I'm Tom, the Work Whisperer.

    • I've built businesses that have succeeded and failed and I bear the scars.
    • I've worked for others, run teams large and small, with glories and disasters.
    • I'm qualified as a coach and therapist, I tried both and being a coach fitted me, therapist didn't.
    • I've been a management consultant and coach, with many wins and losses.
    • I've worked closely with dozens of organisations; public, private, charities. Some loved me, some hated me, some were indifferent.

     

    But I'm not into credentials.

     

    I'm into results.

     

    I'm motivated by the joy of helping others and being kind.

     

    The joy that comes from true help.

    (no ego, no bullshit, no agenda, no selling)

     

    Just being fully present, listening to you deeply and then helping you grow.
