Effective Visual Presentations

The ability to effectively give a presentation in front of a group - with or without visuals - is not something we are born with, it doesn't come naturally or happen by accident. Tom teaches the visual and platform skills you need to present successfully to any audience, in person or virtually!

In this session you will learn what works - and what doesn't work - in visual presentation using Powerpoint, Google Slides, Prezi, or whatever platform you prefer. You will learn the techniques and strategies to enhance your presentation with effective visuals that add, not distract, from your message.

Simple Leadership

There is a sense in our world today that we are suffering from a Leadership Deficit.
​
The result is a plethora of "experts" bombarding us with complex definitions and theories, further confusing us and adding to the problem.
But...
Complexity is the enemy of understanding.
In this compelling program, Tom gives the audience the SIMPLE truth about what Leadership truly is, and how each of us can be the leader we aspire to be!

You The BRAND!

In today's world, you are not safe
simply "doing your job".
Gone are the days of hiding in your
cubicle, not making waves, getting
along, and retiring with a pension and
gold watch.
​
Today, you must MANAGE YOURSELF as your own BRAND!
​
You are no different than Apple, Nike, Harley Davidson, BMW.
​
Tom reveals the truth about your success - and your security - and how to achieve both for yourself!

Testimonials (2)
  • I've seen Tom speak several times and it is always unbelievable. He is engaging, energizing, thoughtful and very funny - the audience leaves with strong, thought-provoking content and with a smile on their face. Tom cares so much about his audience, I feel like he is talking directly to me. He uses stories to draw the audience in and then makes such strong points. I would pay to see Tom any time he speaks, he is that good!

  • After seeing Tom for many years at Toastmasters Leadership Institute, our organization hired Tom to give our keynote presentation to the National Convention. Tom was amazing, so engaging and funny and at the same time gave our members some incredible insights into Leadership. It made everyone feel like they had something special inside themselves that they could offer the world. Very inspiring. Tom's themes always involve and encourage people to know themselves and present themselves as authentically who they are in everything they do. We will definitely hire Tom again and anyone wanting the best speaker for your event I recommend Tom super highly.
