Tom Finn - Initiating the Shift Effect

from Get Off The Bench Podcast Hosted by Kerryn Vaughan

Tom Finn is Founder & CEO of The Shift Effect Initiative. Global Keynote Speaker. Author, strategist for leaders. The Shift Effect Initiative seeks to spread the notion of small shifts throughout our society, where complexity can often stifle action. Tom’s discovery of the power of small shifts comes out of 30+ years of coaching business and government leaders. Two patterns stood out, particularly from 50 leaders featured in The Shift Effect book. 1) Many of us get stuck and lose opportunity for business or personal results because we tend to think in extremes - either/or mindsets where we OVERDO or UNDERDO a behavior and 2) Small shifts off those extremes generate options and big results, like implementing organization-wide systems and programs or collaborations, having strategic impact, and developing the ability to handle crushing workload. The Shift Effect Initiative is a framework and method that helps people, conflicts, and projects to get unstuck and thrive. We are bringing the Shift Effect method to a society where complexity and stagnation can be discouraging, and where small shifts can provide momentum and positive change for individuals, teams, or societal problems. Tom's clients include The Weather Channel, Verizon, numerous government agencies including the FDA and NRC in the USA, The Argentine Education Ministry, and NASCAR. His first book is Are You Clueless? 7 Clues to Profit, Productivity, and Partnership for Leaders in a Multicultural World.
