Stories constitute the single most powerful weapon in a leader’s arsenal.

—Dr. Howard Gardner, Prof. Harvard Univ.

There is such power in story telling and I love getting up in front of anyone who will listen and share my stories. Stories powerfully connect us to our listeners. When we share our own real-life stories or the stories of others our audiences feel that they get to know us as authentic people – people who have lives like yours, people who have struggled with problems and who have figured out how to overcome them.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for considering me. I am honored.

What Others Are Saying

It has been my pleasure to work with Tim as a coach/consultant with his team. Tim is a supportive, motivating and empowering servant leader. His honest interest and encouragement to his staff is exceptional. As a developer of people, Tim is in the top 10% of any leader I have met or worked with. Combined with his strong technical skills, Tim is an outstanding leader that demonstrates emotional intelligence and caring.

— Deborah Simi Eibner, HR Partner at Phillips Exeter Academy —

Tim is a valued member of the IT Leadership group that I chair. He is a planner and a "doer" whose experiences as an IT leader help to inform and educate all members of the group. His openness to exchanging ideas and possible solutions to business and technology callenges provides value to all of us.

— Max Ward, Business Coach with AdviCoach, Certified ValueBuilder Advisor —

Tim is already there waiting for all of us to catch-up, patiently and willingly to help. When I think about Tim many words come to mind, words and phrases such as balanced, visionary, change agent, sherpa, brilliant, evolving yet steadfast and especially and don't miss this - honorable and righteous. It whatever capacity you wish to work with or befriend Tim, you will witness a man like very few. His skill set is "top-tier" with technology and communications taking point. Tim deserves a second and third look and your final yes. I would stake my life's work and reputation in recommending Tim.

Tim is a great team player who strikes the right balance in technology by meeting immediate needs but also keeping his eye on the long term evolution that must continue. He is also a selfless leader who always puts his own staffs' needs ahead of his own.

— Clay Adams, CEO of Simon Pearce —

Tim Young is a Technology leader with true vision - someone who stays ahead of the curve in technology trends, and evaluates how new technologies can benefit his company. We've worked with Tim extensively, and his technology range is impressive. He can dive deep into technology, but also clearly understands the role of IT as a provider of service to the business. What has impressed me most about Tim is his personal nature - he is very skilled, but is very easy to work with, and leads by example. Tim understands the value of relationships, and the benefit to business success.
