Never working with a Life Coach before, I didn't know what to expect when I made the decision to work with Tom regarding my career. Tom's approach and insight is impeccable and within a short period of time Tom guided me through self realizations that effected every aspect of my life in profound ways. If you're thinking of aligning with Tom to gain clarity in any aspect of your life... do it!

If you are looking for a powerful experience, especially during key times in your career, you should consider the benefits you may reap from the utilization of a coach such as Tom Volkar. Tom differentiates himself by not only providing his experienced and unbiased opinions of your opportunities but he also constantly reinforces messages to his clients to “Listen to your authentic self” and “Doing work that richly rewards you”. I highly recommend that at the various times in your professional life you seriously consider a career coach as a necessary and maybe routine part of your arsenal in advancing your professional life as essential as an advanced degree and that you consider working with Tom, an exemplar in his field.

Tom gives me the inspiration and courage to go beyond my comfort zone. His words of wisdom lift my spirits when I am down or not sure of myself. He's helped me think deep to find my passion and clear the confusion around what I was put on this earth to do. I've gone through life feeling that I could do much greater things. With the aid of Tom as my coach I'm finally going after my dream of owning my own business. Do yourself a favor, if you are confused or not satisfied with your current career give Tom a call. He can help you transform into the person you want to become

Tom Volkar is amazing! In just three three months of working with Tom, I have made more progress toward my goals than in the previous 9 years combined. He kept me accountable to my commitments. He helped me move from a place of wondering if I would even make a go on my new coaching business to a place of strong momentum and a knowledge that I will succeed. Working with him definitely accelerated my progress toward my goals. My only regret is that I didn't hire him sooner. He was exactly what I needed to get to where I am now. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to create a new career while being true to themselves

When I hired Tom I was at a crossroads in my business. Working with Tom offered the perfect combination of personal and professional coaching that allowed me to identify my ideal path as a business owner. His commitment to me as a client surpassed my expectations, and I knew that at any time during our work together I could reach out to him for accountability, to talk through ideas or for extra support. As a result of my time working with Tom I was able to gain clarity on my work and make the necessary business changes to move forward.

Tom is an amazing catalyst for those who want to get on or stay on the entrepreneurial path! He is exceptional at uncovering the 20% of an entrepreneur's actions that will drive 80% of their results. Tom's work goes beyond focusing on high-leverage, strategic actions. He effectively models the process for entrepreneurial strategy execution and follow-through.

Tom can take nearly any situation. personal or professional, and discuss alternate possible solutions as an objective observer. His solutions are unique, they work and are easily implemented. Further, his insights in issues are remarkable and he can get to the heart of the matter quickly.

Working with Tom was like having access to a "toolbox" for a successful, productive and healthy life.He's a great mentor, motivational coach and friend.Tom changed my outlook on life to one that serves me better and has better prepared me to reach my short and long-term goals. I am more confident in my personal and professional life, I work out everyday, I've improved my relationships, and I am an entrepreneur who feels in control of her own destination.

Tom has an impeccable ability to dig past the many obstacles we set in front of ourselves and push us to set and achieve goals. He's an amazing listener who is able to pick up subtle details about a business strategy and helps us focus our attention on what is truly important. Together we decided upon a step by step plan to achieving my goals. Although it seems obvious in hind sight, Tom's ability to dig down to the core actions I needed to complete allowed me to truly focus on the important tasks I needed to get done. Once I realized which tasks are immediately important, it became much, much easier to get things done. Tom does an incredible job of quickly getting to know you and figuring out how to help you. You soon realize he's not following a formula or script but rather listens, advises and motivates. Tom basically walks with you as you lay out your plans, describe your impediments and helps you to overcome those obstacles.

Tom Volkar is a talented coach and an amazing mentor. When coaching you to make the leap to self-employment, Tom is so good at getting to the core of why we often get in our own way. Tom has encouraged me to stop playing small and taught me the importance of taking massive inspired action and of being authentic both in business and in life. I feel much more prepared to move forward with my business because of the clarity he has given me. Tom's coaching has given me countless “a-has.” He will push you to dig deep within to find not only your true values and strengths, but what may be blocking you and causing blind spots. I feel I have made several positive shifts in the way I see my business and how I handle the emotions and challenges it brings. I would highly recommend Tom if you are looking for a supportive guide to help light the path to start-up success.

Sometimes you need a coach to help you get clarity, come up with goals and a plan, and get some accountability to meet those goals with inspired action. You want someone who takes the time to understand who you really are, who sees your gifts clearly, and can help you discover or act on what you're passionate about. Tom Volkar is my first choice. If you're looking to make the leap to self-employment, or need to take your existing business to the next level, this is your guy. It's all about living and working from your authentic power - people want to do business with people who are REAL, and this means greater financial success along with personal growth. Tom can help you get there.

Tom is an extremely effective career coach who holds your feet to the fire of your goals and intentions while at the same time encouraging you to dream a bigger, more authentic dream for yourself. I had been self-employed for 5 1/2 years when I hired Tom in the spring of 2008, and in the 8 months since, I have increased my income 300%. I can only imagine where I'd be now if I'd found him when I first made the leap to self-employment. No regrets, though, because he's a valued asset in my business now and I look forward to the milestones and achievements ahead. No matter where you are on the path of self-employment, hiring Tom as your coach is, in my opinion, the best decision you can possibly make right now.

Tom is an exceptional life and business coach. Working with Tom prevents me from making excuses to myself, and facilitates the most direct route to results.

Tom is one of the most effective coaches I have seen since begiining a coaching career in 2002. His mix of experience, intuition, motivation and support make him tops in this growing field. Tom knew when to push and when to really get me to face my roadblocks. Some coaches will let you go without realizing the benefits of self-confrontation. Becasue of Tom, I've discovered my talent in helping people went beyond my personal image of what I thought I was limited to. My experience with Tom is one that has shaped my calling. I highly recommend his talents for anyone searching to break out of mediocrity.
Fred Como

I first hired Tom in 2003 for his experience in launching and building small businesses. Since then, he has become one of my most trusted allies for professional and personal insight, advice and encouragement. Tom has a gift for getting his clients to focus on their priorities and then take action. I gladly endorse Tom's talents for building businesses and people!

It's hard to believe all of the positive changes that are happening in my life right now as a result of working with Tom Volkar for only 90 days!!! He is a coach who flat out walks his talk. I hired Tom as my coach after having attended his amazing Big Link Rally event on 1/2/10. The biggest change that I've made in 90 days is that when we started working together I was experiencing a lot of stress due to wanting to follow my true calling but feeling stuck as it was seemingly such a huge change for me to think about leaving my stable job to be self employed. Wow, I celebrate that the stress that I had about that is over as I've given notice at work AND feel very confident about my future as an entrepreneur! There are many more life enhancing/life changing benefits that I experienced by working with Tom. I recommend anyone to discover those benefits for yourself by scheduling a complimentary session with him...which is where it all began for me.
