Description

We’ve all heard the phrase: You never get a second chance to make a first impression. But how true is it in leadership and life?


In this episode, Tom explores the importance of first impressions. From the subtle, instinctive signals people read in those opening seconds, to the deeper trust that only grows over time, he challenges whether we place too much weight on the moment, and not enough on the relationship.


You’ll discover:




  • Why presence is the real currency of leadership.




  • How authenticity creates lasting influence.




  • Practical tools to ground yourself, shift your energy, and connect more deeply.




Through stories, neuroscience insights, and coaching examples, Tom unpacks what it means to show up with clarity and intention.


So, what impression are you making today?
