Current and Recent Sample Client Work

One and two-day training events are just that-a quick hit, tick-the-box efforts that don't tick any of the boxes that matter ... like actually supporting real growth and transformation for your emerging and first-time leaders. 

And who is providing that training, anyway? 99% of the time it is a ... trainer! Not a coach, not a leadership development expert, not someone who has been 'in the trenches' at all levels of organizations actually helping real people become real leaders. 

Below are examples of the kind of experience Tom Giberson, PhD brings to your emerging and first-time leaders ...

Several clients include me as a partner on their hiring team for upper management-CEO hires.

Variety of projects that I work on from time to time where there is an opportunity to make a difference in helping to make fit happen more effectively in organizations.
