______________
One of the biggest things that holds people back from making important values-driven life and leadership decisions is the doubt they have about themselves. It's easy to attribute skill and mastery to others, but not so easy to believe it of ourselves. Self-confidence and self-esteem can radically affect how willing we are to take important risks.
What would it be like to imagine your future in a "safe laboratory" for imagination? That's what a coaching relationship is: a confidential, safe, wide open place to explore what's possible. And what would it be like to imagine that the gap between where you are right now--and where you want to be in the future--is one you can actually bridge?
If that's something you're ready to consider, then give me a call for a free consultation. There's nothing to lose, and I'll bet there's some very tangible encouragement to gain.
My educational background includes a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, a Master's Degree in Theology, a Doctorate in Theology and Culture, and I am a graduate of the SeattleCoach Training Program. I'm a member of the International Coach Federation, and the Puget Sound Coaches Association. Additionally, I'm a licensed facilitator of the "Core Values Index" - a very powerful tool for personal development, team-building, and business optimization.
My longstanding passions are rock climbing and sea kayaking, and I've coached many people in both of these pursuits over the years. My wife and son and I are now into our seventh year of living in Seattle, and have begun sprouting the obligatory gills.
I look forward to hearing from you!
To your best future,
Tom

Professional Coach and Trainer
I have worked with Tom as coach during a time of tumultuous change in our business. He helped me stay clear-headed and focus on my priorities. Furthermore, he helped me simplify what was looming as a highly complex set of challenges so that I could tackle them effectively.
General Manager
Tom has taught me how to become a better leader and a better person. Some of the transformational teachings include: triangulation, not affixing blame, 'what versus how,' and asking powerful questions of the leadership team rather than feeling the pressure to make decisions on my own. Tom is like my best friend in business. He cares about my success, but doesn't take care of me. He makes it fun and easy to lead and learn.
Senior Director of Communications
Tom understands leaders and their systems. He helps teams increase the clarity and grace of their communications, and he helps leaders grow in their calm, balanced authority.
Professional Certified Coach & Trainer
Tom has a unique gift in his ability to help distill things down to clear, workable parts, thus providing a launching point to progress forward, whether it be personal, vocational or otherwise. Thanks for your help Tom!
Medical Professional
Tom's gift as a coach is that he listens with both his head and his heart.
During a time of transition in my career, his insightful questions coupled
with gentle humor gave me added perspective and focus. By helping me
recognize and boldly claim my personal strengths, Tom challenged me to
think outside the box. As a result, I feel more self confident and free to
explore new opportunities. I recommend Tom to anyone who wants to grow
professionally or personally. Thanks Tom; you're the best!
School Administrator
Tom's coaching has had a significant impact on my work. His insightful questions, keen analysis, breadth of experience, sense of humor and compassionate pushback have helped me navigate adaptive changes, find creative solutions, keep focused and move intentionally toward greater effectiveness in both ministry and life. Tom's a gifted coach and this has been the best 'continuing education' investment I've ever made!
