Customer Reviews
Bite Size Wisdom
I first heard of Tom through “Coaching for Leaders”, I’m in the lower levels of Management looking to move up, and becoming a better leader is a big part of that. Many leadership podcasts deal in vagueness and executive level information. While Tom’s advice is definitely applicable to higher echelons it’s the practical application of his advice to any level. We all manage expectations. We all oversee productivity. It’s that personal connection and self reflection that separates leaders and managers. Also as an aside, as someone who listens to many many podcasts, Toms voice is just delightful.
Update: still the best leadership coaching podcast. I’ve decided to start listening from the beginning and there’s like 15 years of episodes wow
Thanks Tom
I have been listening on & off for several years and you never disappoint with your nuggets of practical business skills and self management. Let’s be honest, managing the Self can be our biggest challenge.
A balm to soothe the soul
As leaders in the work place it is often lonely and challenging. People are a puzzle and often we overlook how we can get in our own way of being perceived the way we’d like to be perceived. I’ve found when I’m struggling with a particularly challenging situation, Tom usually has had a similar situation that he recreates with delightful skill and empathy.
