Keynote speaker with decades leading technology and business - delivering proven frameworks from NASA, Pixar, and Fortune 500 leaders to transform your attendees from ideas to measurable impact.
In a humorous and poignant talk, Triumph memorably shows us what George Bernard Shaw meant by, “Life isn’t about finding yourself, it’s about creating yourself.”
How moving into the realm of thinkers, builders, and doers, can improve how we view the world and the work we do.
Tom’s TEDx talk explores how innovators evolve and continue to thrive. Watch to the end for the best illustration of how you can evolve by just 1%, every single day.
Such a wonderful talk and time well spent! Really liked the framework you shared and wish there was more time to hear (learn) more! He’s someone who’s really thought about what matters AND how best to impart that to the audience. Excellent!
Inspiring, engaging, relevant. Tom has a strong background across a number of industries and shared amazing lessons (and in a way I’ve never heard before). He changed and expanded my thinking. Will def bring that to work and life!
This session brought creativity back into business and management. I feel like we usually try to stay rigid in those areas and Tom helped remind us of the value of creativity. Also these lessons help on a personal level.
It was a motivating session about 1% growth, AWE and not letting your failure define you. Something I will remember for the future is - it is not always about creating ideas but by changing/shifting perspective
Tom’s talk was both thought provoking and inspiring. It was a great reminder that continuous improvement and success does not happen by accident and incremental change is key!
Tom was a relatable, entertaining, knowledgeable presenter! His talk was the best of our weekend conference - it was applicable to the human experience regardless of your profession.
This event was very inspiring and I will definitely take in what I learned here for the current and future of my career. For Tom, I loved all that you talked about and your panel was really good.
An awesome session. Different from the others. Lots of interesting relevant stories to work and life. A speaker with lots of experience, very professional and down to earth. Relatable and memorable
Tom educated us about being nimble through real examples like the story of the iPhone. It was very engaging. I love the opening hook, a promise of something free! He definitely delivered!
Super interesting and broadly relevant. My husband (and kids) would have loved it too. Loved the stories and the takeaways. The lessons were unforgettable, made me feel optimistic and I want to learn more.
