Author Biography
Tom Dowd, AKA Transformation Tom(TM), is a graduate of the University of Delaware with a Communication degree, concentrating on interpersonal and organizational communication. Tom is a prize-winning speaker, an award-winning and Amazon best-selling author, trainer, coach, and radio host-all spurred by his need to be more than a painfully shy and introverted individual on a rollercoaster ride of success. Tom is an active member in Toastmasters International, a group of 300,000 members worldwide looking to develop communication and leadership skills. Tom joined in 2008 thinking it was just a way to boost his résumé. It became a wonderful downhill spiral of failure. Whether it was a speech contest or a publisher's rejection, Toastmasters pushed him beyond his comfort zone to find self-awareness, belief that he could make a difference and the motivation to take smarter steps toward success both personally and professionally. What Tom found was a boost in confidence that changed the path of his life and career. In 2010-2011, he was awarded the District 45 Outstanding Toastmaster of the Year representing over 100 clubs in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and the three eastern most provinces of Canada. Now exhibiting consistent speech contest success, Tom is the two-time Table Topics District 45 champion for 2012 and 2013. Additionally, he is a member of the National Speakers Association and the Global Speakers Federation. With over 24 years of experience in the financial industry in management and leadership roles at the same organization and a plethora of inconsistency on this professional journey, Tom received the call nobody wanted: "We're downsizing." After unexpectedly losing his full-time job, Tom landed in a better place in just 59 days using methods from his coaching and training. He is now a VP at one of the larger financial institutions in North America. In 2011, he started his own side business "Thomas Dowd Professional Development & Coaching" where he helps people to creatively find ways to differentiate themselves in the workplace and to find their own individual paths toward success. The mantra is "Transform into who you really want to be." Tom is the award-winning author of four books: "The Transformation of a Doubting Thomas," "From Fear to Success: a Practical Public Speaking Guide," "Displacement Day: When My Job was Looking for a Job," and "Time Management Manifesto."
