Tom Sheppard

Tom specializes in leading large ($20mm+) projects for US financial services companies.

In addition to his career in corporate America and as a real estate entrepreneur, Tom has invested more than a dozen years helping people to get the job they want. He has worked on both sides of the job interviewing table. Interviewing and hiring job candidates. And coaching job seekers in how to prepare their resumes, conduct job searches, write cover letters, and handle job interviews.

He has taken many of his hard-earned lessons and poured them into his books for job seekers and hiring managers.

On the real estate front, he has invested a lot of time and money in real estate. He has gone from being an award winning student of some of the most successful real estate gurus in the world to work behind the scenes with more than one.

Many students of the leading real estate gurus seek Tom out to get the "real" story behind a guru or a strategy a guru is teaching.

A former missionary and a U.S. Marine. He has survived and prospered in corporate life, rising to a six-figure salary before starting his own business.

Two Masters Degrees and a lifetime of learning as well as a 30+ year marriage have taught Tom what it takes to succeed at work, life, and business. In his life he has swept floors for a living as well as leading teams of hundreds of highly paid executives to deliver multi-million dollar projects on time and under budget for a Fortune 500 company.

In his books, Tom writes about what he knows. If he shares theory, it is theory that he has tested and proven in his own life and with others. He is adept at taking a complex idea and making it easily understood.

In fact, his ability to cut through the smoke and mirrors to the heart of matters has upset more than one real estate guru he has done business with.

Tom is sometimes controversial, occasionally too outspoken, and always honest.

He is an engaging speaker, mentor, and teacher. He brings his life experience to bear to deliver practical, working solutions to problems that people face every day. He knows that one of the biggest things that hold people back from succeeding is the mistaken belief that it cannot be done in this place or at this time. His experience shows otherwise.
