Tom is available for Keynote Addresses, Fireside Interviews, Expert Panels, Q and As as well as Podcasts and Broadcast Media

Tom’s different because he’s lived high-stakes, real-time decision-making where legitimacy is tested instantly and he translates that into a practical, research-backed message about selling decisions and building trust so wicked problems don’t derail teams.

He doesn’t speak in theory or popularity, he speaks from a career where clarity, fairness, and communication kept complex human systems playable under pressure, from elite rugby to boardroom decisions.

Tom’s experience translates directly to the corporate world because he’s spent years making high-stakes decisions in real time, under scrutiny, then ensuring those decisions land with multiple stakeholders, exactly the challenge leaders face in complex organisations.

Wicked-problem decision-making: incomplete information, competing interests, time pressure, and irreversible consequences - mirrors transformation, risk, and crisis decisions.

Legitimacy through communication: he shows how to “sell” decisions so they’re experienced as fair and explainable, reducing resistance and second-guessing.

Human-systems leadership: managing trust, tone, and conflict in a charged environment (players/captains/coaches) maps cleanly onto executive, cross-functional and client ecosystems.

Boardroom relevance: experience advising and working with senior leaders on culture, performance, and change, turning pressure-tested judgement into practical leadership behaviours.

Yes. Tom customises his keynotes to fit the needs of corporate clients, aligning content with team objectives, industry challenges, or company values to deliver a relevant and actionable experience for participants. The 'You’re not here to be popular' framework is applicable to many industries.

And if Tom thinks a different speaker is a better fit, he'll recommend them to you instead. 

Tom has delivered his keynote in a variety of formats, from a 15 minute tone setter to a long form workshop. Tom’s keynotes typically run 45–60 minutes, but they can be adapted for shorter sessions, workshops, or breakout presentations depending on the client’s requirements.
