Allow Me to Introduce Myself
What is the single biggest reason most business communications fail?
Lack of personality.
Humanizing a business message is the most important part in communicating to an audience.
It's also the area where most people get stuck.
That's why I started this blog.
Hi, my name is Tom. Thank you for stopping by.
I'm an award-winning business communicator.
Helping organizations communicate with a personal touch has been my passion for 25 years.
What's this blog about?
My goal is to help you humanize your business communications by taking the gobbledygook out of your messages.
I'll talk about my "real life" experiences that will help you communicate your messages in clear and compelling ways.
In addition to helpful, instructional "how-to" artcles, I'll post some short, fun, communication/creativity related posts I think you'll find interesting.
A bit about me
I'm a Fast Company “Expert Blogger,” public speaker, three-time co-author for the “Age of Conversation” book series and an award-winning multimedia producer.
The Content Marketing Institute invited me to be a contributing article writer, so I'm thrilled to be onboard with a rockin' team of content marketing experts.
In 2010 and 2009, I was awarded Hartford Business Journal’s "Strateg-e Award" for “Best Use of Blogs.”
I write articles on business communications, new media, social media and even on fun topics like how to stop email ping-pong.
In my past life
I conquered difficult communications challenges for mid-to-large sized organizations by producing and directing mini-marketing documentaries. During this time, I produced roughly 500+ corporate presentations for 125+ organizations and won dozens of awards.
Now it's time to focus on writing articles that educate and entertain; just as I did when producing, but now in written form.
What are some of my other passions?
I love classic rock 'n' roll (The Beatles, Jethro Tull, Yes, British Invasion, Rush, etc.), quantum physics, social media communications, mountain and road biking, walking, reading and cooking with organic foods.
I also volunteer for a homeless shelter, a food bank and several other non-profits.
People who influence me
Seth Godin, Daniel Pink, Deepak Chopra, Stephen Covey, Ira Glass, quantum theorist Dr. Amit Goswami, Dalai Lama and many other business and wisdom-based thought leaders.
Enjoy the ride and thanks again for stopping by.
