My guest today is Dr. Tom Tonkin.

Tom is the co-founder and CEO of the Conservatory Group, and a self-described “recovering executive” with over 25 years of business and technology experience. He is a firm believer in the power of sincerity, and his philosophies offer a unique behavioral perspective on business, politics, relationships, and more.

Tom holds an PhD in Organizational Leadership from Regent University and a Master of Science in Organizational Leadership from Regis University. He serves as the Dean of Students at the Sales Conservatory and is the Head of Strategic Accounts at SAMI Games, the first crowd-sourced global solution for soft skills.

Tom is an award-winning researcher and author with several blogs, articles, and interviews to his name focusing on Leadership, DE&I, Learning and Development, and Sales Acumen.

In our conversation today we explore the differences of Sincerity and Authenticity. Tom shares how journaling became and stayed an important part of his journey and growth. And he shares pieces of his journey through difficult times, what he’s learned along the way, and how he desires to form a legacy for lasting impact.

Tom, thank you so much for stepping into this conversation, sharing your stories and reflections, and offering wise and sage advice.

If you’ve been listening to recent episodes, you may notice a trend of notices for audio quality, internet quality, etc. I’m on the go at the moment and have been recording podcasts in so many different locations as I live into the digital nomad life for a time. This one, my computer wouldn’t connect to the wifi, and we ended up recording the conversation on my phone, which worked out alright!

Tom was incredibly patient and gracious as I scrambled to figure out the connectivity issues and as we jump into the conversation you’ll hear us still chuckling a little about the imperfection and adaptability we embraced! Thanks for being on the journey with me – I’m so grateful!
