Tom Stevens
Whether in the role of speaker, consultant, group facilitator, or executive coach, Tom communicates a passion for ideas that help leaders create organizations where people willingly contribute their best. Tom brings his clients two decades of experience in engaging people to create meaningful change and raise the bar on performance. After developing expertise and gaining credentials in human behavior and counseling, Tom gained practical leadership and management experience serving a dozen years as the chief executive of a family services organization. In 2001 Tom launched Esquare Leadership, LLC to share his knowledge and philosophy with like-minded leaders and professionals who want to make a difference. Applying the principles of collaborative leadership, strategic thinking, and authentic human connection that he advocates in his consulting practice, in 2005 Tom succeeded in his first run for public office, and was elected Mayor of Hillsborough, NC. Tom received both a BA degree and an MSW degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a Certificate in Organizational Development from UNC-Charlotte. Tom is a charter member of The Society for the Advancement of Consulting (the first from North Carolina!), and is a professional member of the National Speaker's Association. Tom's clients have included large organizations such as Nortel, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Novozymes, Biogen Idec, NACCO Materials Handling Group (Hyster and Yale), RSM McGladrey, Alcatel, and Duke University Health System; as well as professional practices, trade associations, chambers of commerce, entrepreneurial businesses owners, and enterprising non-profits. As a speaker, Tom has been applauded at top-ranked business schools, professional conferences, association meetings, and corporate retreats. Tom publishes THINK!, a monthly on-line collection of leadership articles with subscribers on four continents, and writes monthly columns for Women’s Edge and Business Leader magazines.
