Having read Tom's book 'Healthy Thinking' we engaged him to speak at our annual end of year client functions. He is a comedian with a very valuable message that is told from the heart. The huge positive feedback from those who attended confirmed that we had made the right choice of speaker. An added bonus for me was that I got to spend the entire day with Tom and observed him practice what he preaches - he lives his message.
I can't guarantee the book will change your life, but I can guarantee Healthy Thinking TM, may save your life.
Most employee training is focused on the direct benefit to the employer. The Healthy Thinking programme not only helped create a more productive workplace, it gave our people real tools to improve the quality of their private lives.

Tom is an energetic and enthusiastic speaker, who immediately engages the audience and takes them on a journey of reflection and self-discovery, albeit a short journey given our time constraints!
"Dr Tom kept the audience engaged. He is just so full of life. Loved him to pieces!"
Dr Tom did a wonderful job of drawing his audience into the topic of healthy thinking using story and personal experience to connect. He was definitely contextual drawing on his own experiences as a BOT chairperson which helped to warm us up to what he had to share- a skilled communicator with an important message.
The feedback from Tom's session has been fantastic and it really struck the balance we were looking for with this audience, providing valuable practical tools for our leaders with high entertainment value!
Tom was absolutely fantastic. His ‘Healthy Thinking’ topic worked perfectly with the theme of our conference. We wanted Tom to give a serious but more light hearted presentation over the lunch break, and he gave us exactly what we wanted. Our delegates just loved him.
Tom’s presentation is always a crowd pleaser. Delivered with humour but with strong messages.
