Thom Singer

Thom Singer has delivered more than 1,000 keynotes and is the CEO of the Austin Technology Council, but neither credential is the one that defines his speaking career. What defines it is the subject: the human side of business, specifically the relationships, trust, and accountability that determine whether individuals and organizations actually get where they want to go.

The Conference Catalyst

Singer has built a niche as a conference catalyst, which means he does more than deliver a keynote and leave. He creates an atmosphere before, during, and after his session that elevates the entire event experience. His energetic, interactive style is built on research showing that professional relationships are the single most reliable driver of career and business growth, and that most people are significantly underinvesting in building them deliberately.

From Sales to Speaking to Strategy

Singer spent years in sales and marketing before becoming a full-time speaker in 2009, and that background shows in the practicality of his content. He does not teach networking as a social skill. He teaches it as a business strategy with specific behaviors, habits, and mindsets that produce measurable results. His podcast, Cool Things Entrepreneurs Do, has hosted hundreds of conversations with business leaders reinforcing the themes he brings to the stage.

Thom Singer keynotes are booked for events focused on professional networking, relationship building, business development, conference culture, and the human behaviors that separate high-performing individuals and organizations from those that plateau.

Social Tightening – In The Face Of Uncertainty

In times of change and uncertainty, how you connect with people matters more than ever. Society has been heavily impacted by the Coronavirus and the necessary moves to social distancing. But as group meetings stop and people work from home, human connections become more important than ever. Thom Singer has spent 15 years teaching people how to connect. As face-to-face events were canceled, he knew this was the time to double down on business and personal relationships. Creating plans to keep ties with family, friends, coworkers, customers, etc…  do not happen by accident. Social Tightening is his recommendations for companies and associations who desire to help their people stay engaged.  This presentation is available live or virtual.

The Secret Weapon: Connecting With People In A Gadget-Crazed World

There is more to business than “likes”, “links”, “shares”, and “follows”. While the social media and digital tools we all use every day are great, they do not really solve all the issues around how to make, grow, and keep our business relationship. All opportunities come from people, so how we engage with others makes all the difference in how we succeed in our personal and professional lives. The secret weapon for success comes in the connections we cultivate with others. Thom Singer has spent 15 years teaching how to get back to the basics of creating meaningful relationships that help you get ahead.

Performance Driven: How To Overcome The Paradox Of Potential

High potential does not equal high performance, and research shows that an overwhelming percentage of professionals are not satisfied with their own success or performance of their team. Potential is reached through engaging in the RIGHT actions, and Thom Singer is the perfect business motivational speaker to get your organization focused on the plans, passion, and people needed for success.  Results are about more than systems…you have to try new things.  This is the keynote to get people out of their comfort zone and focused on performance.
