“You’re good with your hands, but your brother is more intelligent...” was something Tom was told often as a child. Having failed a major entry exam and consigned to being ‘average’, he is living proof that anyone can be who they want to be and achieve a destiny beyond their dreams, exceeding the low expectation of others.
Training with the Neuroleadership Institute, Tom is an accredited brain and behaviour specialist, using applied neuroscience research and tried-and-tested techniques to motivate and transform. Through his interactive delivery using real-world examples and scientific explanation, Tom’s talks explain the limiting beliefs and fixed mindsets that inhibits the potential of so many. He explains how, with even a basic understanding of how the brain works and it’s ability to rewire itself, we can make an everlasting change in behaviours and Mindset.
With a Masters in Business Analysis & Systems Design and as a Fellow of the Institute of Leadership and Management, Tom combines business acumen and intimate knowledge of corporate culture with neuroscience research, mindset training and brain- based behaviour change to transform individuals and deliver growth and profitability in world-class organisations, including HSBC, Louis Vuitton, Emirates, Siemens, Unilever and the BBC.
