About Tom
Tom Hilgardner provides Inspiration and Empowerment for individuals around the world to discover their full potential and create a balanced and inspired life.
I have been on the path of self development for over 7 years and am deeply grateful for my family, friends, and those that have encouraged, supported, and inspired me. What inspires me most is working with individuals that are passionate and capable of achieving the life they really want. Even if their not sure in the beginning what they really want.
I began my inner quest in a life-period of sadness and confusion of not knowing who I was, why I am here, and what my purpose. I pondered on doing jobs that would be fun to me, but still found something missing in my heart. The things that I attempted that were fun was good for me, but what about others? How was I making a difference in the lives of others in these “fun” jobs?
After seeing the same street signs over and over and having the same daily routine I started telling myself, “there has to be more to life than this?”
By continuing to seek and remaining hungry for a purpose my life suddenly changed.
It began at a job 7 years ago doing telemarketing. I called a customer that took me away from my script and started asking questions about who I am. I shared about my confusion and frustration. A call that was suppose to take 5-7 minutes on recording ended up lasting 2.5 hours. This conversation turned into over a year of her supporting me over the phone, instilling confidence and belief in me about my future.
It was through this woman I met over the phone that I met a Life Coach that I later hired to support me in finding my soul’s purpose. During my experience in Life Coaching I discovered through meditative visioning that I am here to support others in creating the life they desire as a Life Coach.
A few’s years later I moved to Chicago to expand break beyond many fears and step into my vision of being someone who’s difference is felt around the world.
Once I arrived in Chicago, I attended the Empowerment Institute in Rhineback, N.Y. and became a Certified Life Coach where I expanded my vision and met like-minded individuals from around the world.
It was 3 years after living in Chicago that I had the honor to travel to Japan, China, Thailand, and the U.K. to explore other cultures and lifestyles. It was in China that I met my wife and experienced leading workshops in Shanghai on “Creating the Life You Desire”.
To this day I still work with my Life Coach frequently to continue growing and expanding into the life I’m meant to live.
