Chicago Executive Coaching - Northbrook, Illinois

Tom was kind enough to work with me to find a win/win way to experiencing his coaching. Not only was he able to specifically diagnose my stuck point, but he also provided an accurate assessment of my needs. Then he offered to work with me in a way that fit into my professional reality as it stands today. The work immediately started to have an impact as I worked through the unique assignments. It also changed my action matrix because I was able to unearth habits and patterns that clearly got me in a circle. I felt so much more capable to move forward. I would recommend Tom to anyone who is going through a next level career transition. He is able to really show the way and give very practical, grounded, and experienced insight into the options for negotiating various executive decision making scenarios. It was exactly what I needed.

I worked with Tom over a period of a few months and sessions. He will help you see yourself with a lens that is kind, empowering, and ultimately integrating, which will help the whole personality. His book recommendations to me were on point. It has been many months since our last session now and I still think back to his actionable advice and coaching when I am stuck at a problem.

After a 30 minute personality profile and an 1 1/2 coaching session , Mr. Lemanski has given me more insight into my personal strengths and weaknesses than any manager, mentor or trainer has in my 28 year career in the automotive business. Not only that, but he was able to give me some extremely valuable tools to help me better communicate in the workplace and in my personal life. I look forward to working with Tom to advance my career in the business and am working to integrate his services into our hiring, and training processes at my dealership. If there is any doubt in your mind with whom to work with, do yourself a favor and spend an hour or two with Tom before making any decisions. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.

A Board member recommended I work with Tom as I lead a small but growing nonprofit organization. I was hesitant to work with an Executive Coach for fear it would be too time consuming, That could not be further from the truth. I have gotten so much out of working with Tom and my time has been more than well sent. Tom helped me to realized certain behaviors within myself and others I work closely with which helped to explain why certain dynamics were occurring. These dynamics as well as communication issues resulted in sever road blocks for my work goals. Tom is working with me and training me in how to facilitate, guide and lead better meetings and discussions. With Tom's support, guidance and knowledge I have been able to work through some major challenges and move my work forward. I am on my way to being a more effective leader which will allow me to have a greater impact and spend more time doing the work I love.

I met Tom back in 2014 when I was searching for a career change. Tom invested a lot of time helping me tackle tough questions like what type of work makes me happy, what are the strengths (and weaknesses) that help drive my behaviors, and what is within my scope of control. I questioned certain results from the assessments because they didn’t reflect how I wanted to be viewed by others. What I learned now is we can be who we want be through understanding our own behaviors first, followed by flexing our communication style to help work better with others. It took me 6 years of practicing and understanding how to apply these tools, I finally feel like I found my dream job and I have Tom to thank, for giving the building blocks for my development.

Tom is an excellent executive coach! We took a deep dive into self-exploration and Tom was there every step of the way to provide me with support and insights even beyond the assessment tools that he utilizes. He listened, shared stories, and asked great questions, leading me to a higher level of self-awareness and an appreciation for who I am - my why and potential impact. It was a pleasure and privilege to work with Tom.
