  • Tom has opened our minds to new ways of thinking and working. He has enabled us to think deeply about what we value in learning and to reflect on where and how this is visible.

  • Having worked with Tom for the past 15 months our school is now on the threshold of new and exciting times as we begin to design learning in a different way, one that empowers thinking, ignites curiosity and fosters growth.

    We are excited about continuing our creative process with Tom in 2018 and can thoroughly recommend him to others who are passionate about responding to the needs of learners in this era of change.

  • Tom’s capacity to be process aware but open enough to intertwine the appropriate mental models has already provided tremendous personal and professional insight.

  • Tom is always keen to have a genuine impact on the organizations with whom he works. His commitment to get the job done means that very soon he is welcomed as one of the team, an integral part of our approach to solving the challenges set before us. I would recommend Tom’s work to anyone that is set on leading a thoughtful, reflective and action based organization.

  • Effective schools become even better schools when they have a partner, or a critical friend, to help them on their journey as they seek to provide the best possible learning experiences for their students.  One hit wonders do not work. Tom has been, and continues to be, our partner and critical friend and I would be very happy to recommend him to any learning organisation.

  • I have worked with Tom in many different contexts and cultures. In every case he has contributed significantly to my own thinking, and also that of my teams. His work and his wisdom does indeed ‘make a difference’.

  • For those who understand that a creative mindset is paramount to success in business I wholeheartedly recommend you engage with Tom and benefit from his abundant wisdom. Thank you Tom it’s been mind blowing!

  • Tom’s ability to work expertly with small or large groups, teachers or leadership teams has ensured that we have been able to drive a robust improvement agenda right across the whole school.

  • Through empathy, assumption challenging and the creation of a latticework of mental models, Tom is creating a truly personal coaching journey for me…and I can’t wait to see where it takes us.
