What People are Saying…

“I never expected that meeting Tom would be a turning point in my life.  When I met Tom I was in the hardest time in my life. I was full of self-doubt. I was so afraid to face the past and had no faith in my future. It was Tom who guided me to disover my inner strength to pull me through with his wisdom and unconditional love. Tom’s vision of becomig a global leader and his passion for life coaching inspired me to start thinking what’s the meaning of my life, what truly makes me happy. Now I am on the journey of being life coach as well. Thanks for Tom’s unconditional support and firm faith in me. When I felt like the door to the outside world was closed, it was Tom who guided me to  open a window to my inner world. Without him, I could never be where I am now. “

When I first began working with Tom I was training as a life coach, but unsure about my niche. Tom helped me clarify my vision and then supported me with his encouragement, compassion and belief in me. He really listened to me and helped me overcome obstacles that I had struggled with for a long time. My vision has expanded way beyond my previous expectations and I have greater confidence in myself and in my life purpose. Tom’s gentle but firm guidance and loving concern pushed me to reach further in making my dreams come true.

I met Tom at a time in my life where I needed to quickly balance my options for the future, and to take steps to set my plans in motion. Our meetings were at the core of my essence and provided me with an environment that induced complete honesty.

In the course of months, I went from being underemployed to attaining a position as a faculty member at a large state university. I also was able to undertake my doctoral defense and bring my PhD studies to successful closure. I addressed issues such as health, fitness, love, romance, career, environment, finances, and spirituality.

Tom and I became close friends through the coaching journey and he helped me get into the driver’s seat of my life instead of being a passenger. As a mainstream guy with a Roman Catholic upbringing, Tom respected my world-view and actually broadened my existing faith.

“Tom Hilgardner is an artful and soulful coach.  I hired Tom to help me navigate a challenging work transition as well as a personal transition outside of work.  Tom was incredibly supportive, and even when I came into some of the calls feeling overwhelmed or stressed out, I left the call feeling calmer and clear about my next action steps.  What I appreciate most about Tom is that I feel totally supported by him in whatever I want to achieve – nothing is too big for Tom!  He brings a clear structure to the calls, but I was also impressed with how flexible he could be to my changing needs, and how responsive he was to my intentions.  I highly recommend Tom.”
