What in Your Opinion Is the Pursuit of Happiness?

2023-09-04T15:56:29+01:00

I was recently asked this question and here is my answer: Interesting question. My sense is that the “pursuit of happiness” (as we currently understand that word) is an illusion. A pursuit implies that we don’t yet have whatever it is we are chasing. This striving for something we don’t have [...]

How Do You Study Your Mindset?

2023-08-30T08:57:02+01:00

I was recently asked this question and here is my answer: Great question. My own question would be who is the “You” in this question? It is always interesting to explore the assumptions underpinning our questions as we may find bigger questions to explore that offer very different perspectives. I have [...]

How Can I Develop My Curiosity?

2023-08-30T08:56:52+01:00

I was recently asked a few questions to this effect and here is my answer: Great questions! I’ve been on this journey for a while and my personal experience has been that it starts with seeing and asking more questions. By seeing questions, I mean allowing the world to offer us [...]

What Are Some Productive Ways to Spend Free Time?

2023-08-30T08:55:38+01:00

I was asked this question and here is my answer: The words “productive”, “spend” and “free” are all therefore really interesting. I would invite some reflection on these. For example, how can we “spend” something that is “free”? And what is ultimately productive? Productivity doesn’t exist in a vacuum - it [...]

How Might You Be Stifling Curiosity?

2023-08-29T14:02:16+01:00

It is hardly controversial to say that all great breakthroughs and discoveries throughout history have been the result of curiosity. They have been driven by someone asking some variant of: "What might be possible?" And yet, research (Gino, 2018) shows that despite awareness around the benefits of curiosity and much language [...]

What Might be Possible If We Believed It Were Possible?

Questions have a strange power. They can release us from what we believe to be true by offering us glimpses of something different. Indeed, there are times in that brief moment after a question is asked when it feels like anything is possible.

Questions have certainly given me the freedom and permission to pursue my passions and live a life I would never have thought possible. That is why I am a big advocate of Nurturing Curiosity at all ages.

If you are a leader, you will no doubt already know that continually nurturing curiosity in leadership is absolutely key. Indeed, that is why I started the Bigger Questions Project around one key question: How might we empower more people to explore and embrace bigger questions?

If you are a leader, you will no doubt already know that continually nurturing curiosity in leadership is absolutely key. In many ways, leadership begins with self-leadership, which is in turn built on a deep sense of curiosity about who you are as a person and as a leader.

Tom’s innate ability to listen and empathise enabled me to relax and really explore the issues that were causing me some anxiety. Our sessions provided me with an enhanced sense of self-awareness and a considered plan of action. The benefits in terms of relationships and self-confidence this process has given me are invaluable, in both work and life in general!
Testimonial from Sean
I went for coaching with Tom, without knowing what I wanted but knowing that I needed some help after having a number of setbacks with interviews. By the end of the first session, I was beginning to realise my problems. By the end of the second session, I was beginning to realise what I wanted. In our final two sessions, Tom helped me to identify a strategy for achieving my goals.

I thoroughly enjoyed our sessions. Tom listened without judgement, guided without being opinionated and ultimately helped me to help myself. You can’t ask more from a coach.

Testimonial from Paul

I didn’t think I had a specific need for a coach, however, having met Tom outside of our professional roles we decided to set up a coaching programme. I’m delighted we did. Tom’s approach is based on taking it slow, listening first and asking questions you won’t have thought of second. The latter always result in positive actions to take away and implement immediately. Now, I’m really looking forward to continuing our working relationship.

Testimonial from James Crothall, Account Director at AMO DIGITAL

I’ve been catching up with Tom for now, over three years. It is a moment where I’m able to create space away from the noise and the busyness of my life to really tackle whatever is top of my mind. This can be on the professional side and can be on my personal side. My conversations with Tom are really conversations we have dialogues that we have, and a walk away from these meetings with clarity around ideas of how to convey pragmatically and practically tackle some of the challenges and the issues which I wanted to discuss with Tom. But I think more importantly, with a greater degree of confidence in my ability to solve for these topics. I’ve been really enjoying my catch up with Tom I hope to continue to do so in the future and I highly recommend anybody to give it a go.
