Tom Founded Great Guys
With a simple wish and desire to share:
If only I knew then what I know now.
I am Tom North. For the past 15 years I have been in pursuit of understanding what went wrong the prior 60 years, why my pursuit of success, happiness and love kept getting sabotaged. Why my promising Silicon Valley CEO career ended abruptly. Why my daughter is estranged. Why four divorces. I was sabotaged by no one other than TomZilla, what Carl Jung calls the Demon within and Daniel Goleman calls the amygdala hijack. It’s as if I never stood a chance..
I am here today to share the secrets of what I've learned and how they have brought me abundant happiness love and success. I have taken college level happiness courses, read nearly 100 books and over 200 articles, and spent 15 years in men’s peer co-counseling, but the majority of what I have to share actually comes from elsewhere. From life lessons which often appeared as if miraculously. Lessons that showed me I am way more powerful than I know and created within me a shift from living well to living good from seeking to get to seeking to generate.
I'm here now to share these secrets. Many are invited. A special few will accept the invitation, accept the challenge and become a part of the great guys and great gals movement to attract rather than pursue love happiness and success. You are here today because you are one of those adventurous few.
You may wonder where I found these secrets. I am not a psychologist or therapist. I'm an electrical engineer, Stanford MBA and Silicon Valley CEO who has always strived to make things better. This is my calling and challenge to you.
“I have a unwavering belief in inherent goodness.
Our challenge is getting back in touch with it
and, then, never letting go.”
