Transform your culture

Tom Murphy is not your typical speaker.

With a career that spans executive leadership, entrepreneurship, elite-level athletics, and one of the leading youth speakers in the world, Tom brings a unique and engaging perspective on what it truly takes to build thriving teams and organizations.

Before becoming a national speaker and thought leader in personal and professional development and creating cultures of belonging, Tom held a celebrated business career. As a Corporate Director for Rail America, he managed operations on a national scale, overseeing the National Rail Traffic Control Center. In parallel, he built some of Northern Vermont’s most successful businesses, including Twiggs: An American Gastropub and The Clothier, managing over 70 employees. He also ran a 20,000-square-foot training facility, all while balancing his professional pursuits with his passion for athletics as an All-American wrestler and UFC competitor.

Despite his success, Tom recognized a deeper calling—helping organizations and individuals navigate struggle, uncertainty, and cultural challenges. He left behind the security of executive positions and entrepreneurship to dedicate his life to empowering businesses, schools, and communities with actionable strategies to create a culture of trust, psychological safety, and peak performance.

Studies show that for every $1 invested in life skills, businesses see an $11 return. Tom helps organizations understand that the key to high performance isn't just strategy — it’s people. When employees feel secure, valued, and heard, they contribute at a higher level, leading to stronger collaboration, innovation, and profitability. Tom will challenge your business leaders and employees and help your team shift from survival mode to a mindset of growth, resilience, and success.
