My point of view

In today's specialized and interdependent world, self-reliance and individual expertise is not enough.  Achieving extraordinary outcomes requires continually growing effective leadership, teams and partnerships. 

I'm Tom Hardison, and I believe developing our conscious practice of leadership is what generates the creative capacity of teams, organizations and communities to evolve and thrive amidst the constant change and increasing complexity we experience today.

I partner with executives, owners, professionals, and community leaders committed to achieving extraordinary outcomes to grow the effectiveness of leaders and teams. 

I've learned from a wide range of experiences, and many guides and teachers who've assisted me along the way. I led change initiatives at Hewlett Packard for more than 28 years and volunteer with non profit and public organizations. I grew up farming lemons and avocados on my grandparents ranch. I've traveled, lived and worked in many different countries, and raised 4 sons in Boise with my wife.
