Since 2004, Tom has trained almost one million people worldwide at some of the largest companies, such as Coca-Cola, Apple, and Nike, on how to build a Culture of Connection™ within their organization.
As the Founder and Lead Facilitator of Swift Kick, he holds an unprecedented 7 National Speaking Titles. He is a TEDx speaker, has 2 Amazon best-selling books, and sat on the boards for the NYC Entrepreneurs’ Organization and the NYC National Speaker's Association.
Organizations, both small and as large as the U.S. Military, have brought Tom in to train and deploy his award-winning program, Dance Floor Theory™ methodology, to increase community member engagement and retention rates.
I've seen Tom speak and do leadership training several times for The Entrepreneurs' Organization. He has a rare ability to connect and engage with people and get them to open up. In addition, he is one of the best speakers I've seen. He balances humor, seriousness and stories from his past to make his points. I use and recommend using Tom.
I worked with Tom through the Entrepreneurs' Organization where he was our MC for our Youth Entrepreneurs Summit. He keep the audience engaged the whole time while also sharing his own personal story in business. I've never seen someone connect with a group like Tom was able to with my group. Months later and people were still talking about Tom from the summit. Tom is an awesome facilitator and has a very strong reputation in the entrepreneurial community where he has facilitated many other programs. Tom brings high energy to his work and knows how to engage people.
I've known Tom for over 3 years and in that time he has not only impressed me as a business person but also as a master leader/facilitator. As a CEO, I've seen many speakers and speak led trainings, and I have to say that Tom is right up there with the best of them. He has an ability to connect with groups of people in ways rarely seen, and then lead them through a process of learning and discovery. I'd highly recommend Tom to be a part of any conference or meeting.
Tom and I had the opportunity to co-facilitate an event for EO (Entrepreneur's Organization.) He has a unique ability to keep audiences engaged, connected and enthusiastic to learn. Tom truly is a creative collaborator. It was a joy to work alongside him.
Tom and I were part of the same CEO Mastermind group where he lead our group as the moderator. I have to say that getting to be a part of a CEO group with Tom has been rewarding. He is exceptionally skilled at leading business owners through their challenges. Anyone working beside him learns a lot professionally and personally.
Tom is absolutely amazing! He continued the high and positive energy through the duration of our student conference, that was a total of Six hours of non-stop hugging, high-fiving, laughing, smiling, and overall, a great time! Our students had a blast and cannot stop mentioning how motivated they are to adapt the Dance Floor Theory into their respective clubs and organizations.
I'm always impressed by how effortlessly our Swift Kick presenters can turn a room full of nervous students into an excited and friendly group of people. Our students always leave with big smiles, excited for the year ahead.
Tom has been our Student Leadership Day speaker twice now and both times he exceeded my expectations. He does a phenomenal job training student leaders on how to get every student involved and intentionally thinking about what that involvement looks like. Tom's presentation is interactive and informative and keeps students moving and thinking the entire time. I can definitely see our student leaders applying Dance Floor Theory into their work on campus.
Working with Tom in preparation for our training was smooth and he really cared about listening about what we wanted to see in our training. He is so passionate about what he does and it shows in his training.
