Background Information
With over 38 years of experience in the IT industry, the majority in leadership & executive positions, I bring a wealth of experience, knowledge & expertise to my coaching practice. Having lived in 7 cities across 4 continents & having led high-performing, diverse global teams, I have a unique ability to connect across cultures & contexts.
Coaching Approach
My coaching philosophy is rooted in intentionality, mindfulness & the core principles of Stoicism — Wisdom, Temperance, Courage, & Justice. Each session is designed to create a supportive & reflective environment where clients feel empowered to explore their potential. My approach integrates elements of neuroscience (through the Enneagram approach), emotional intelligence, & multiple brain coaching techniques to foster sustainable growth & transformation.
My approach emphasizes helping individuals & teams unlock their potential through strategic vision (‘Why’ or Purpose) creation, creative problem-solving, & experiential learning. I am deeply committed to empowering others to grow, achieve their goals, & lead fulfilling lives.
I also have extensive experience coaching first-year university/college students, supporting them in defining & achieving their academic & personal goals through structured coaching programs.
By focusing on individual strengths, clients are guided toward achieving their most important objectives with clarity & confidence. Whether coaching individuals, executives, teams or students, my aim is to build a foundation of trust, authenticity, & actionable insights.
Open to joining Coaching Panels &/or being part of Volunteer Coaching Programs in support of those who need coaching support
I am actively working toward my PCC (Professional Certified Coach) accreditation. This next level of mastery requires logging 500 coaching hours. ( I am just over half way) To achieve this over the next 18 months, I have designed several exclusive, high-impact & discounted coaching tracks. It's win-win all round.

Thanks to my Clients for allowing me to use their feedback
"Tom is a great listener and an eternal optimist who really enjoys helping people . Tom has helped me relook at myself personally and professionally and given me great insight into myself and my path forward."
"Before starting these sessions I was a bit rudderless in how I was going about my day to day life. This lead me to believe that I wasn't really celebrating successes in my life and I was in a cycle where it was rinse & repeat from month to month, quarter to quarter, FY to FY. From my time with Tom I realised that I wasn't celebrating life goals because I didn't have any goals defined to celebrate. The sessions really helped me determine the type of person I want to be and also the goals that I can celebrate in being this person. It was a difficult exercise with a lot of internal reflection but the outcome has been amazing and I can say confidently that the rudderless cycle has come to an end."
"I recommend these coaching sessions for anyone who is willing to improve but needs help taking the right steps or needs help setting up a plan to achieve their goals"
