About Tom Darling

Being successful is an outcome that is difficult to measure, and in the world today, it requires education, coaching, and sheer willpower. One of my biggest passions is investing in others to find their true potential, their strengths, and help them exploit both.I oversee the professional development deployment for the largest city government in New Mexico. My vision is to transform corporate culture of the public sector workforce by empowering employees to become fully engaged in their work In my spare time, I continue to teach business courses for Central New Mexico Community College and specialize in Entrepreneurship, Organizational Behavior, and Leadership. I also speak to businesses about creating powerful environments where people work effectively together toward a common purpose. Building a successful business requires more than knowledge of the right paperwork to file and having a cool product or service. It is about understanding your customer, your employees, and the human capital around you.I began my career as an artist with a heart for building things. Upon completing my Bachelor\'s degree in Architecture, I managed a residential remodeling company transforming old spaces into client realities. I have run several businesses and have taken my desire for transformation and expanded it to greater depths in teaching and coaching others to transform their thinking and become successful contributors to society. I have my Master’s degree in Adult Education and spend my time teaching others how to reach their potential and build strong work teams.Becoming a successful leader requires heart, and knowing the people that you are called to lead.Skills and expertise:Leadership Training, Business Development, Conflict Resolution, Personality Profiling, Team Building, Project Management, Interpersonal Skills Training, Motivational Theory, Organization Behavior for Businesses and Municipal Entities, Business Planning and Managing Volunteers.
