The Power of The Moment
60 minute Keynote / 90 minute Workshop
Students’ lives are filled with all kinds of ‘moments’ – moments of hope and of doubt, stress and boredom, love and heartbreak, struggle and success. Too often hurts from the past or anxiety about the future steal attention away from the richness and potential found only in This Present Moment.
In this captivating, “intra-active” presentation, Tommy teaches students how to awaken to the ‘Power of The Moment’ through practical strategies for managing emotions and state of mind, increasing focus and self-discipline, and maintaining calmness and confidence in the face of any challenge.
Students will learn the ‘A.I.R.’ matrix and be able to:
- Recognize personal strengths, weaknesses, and life patterns (Awareness).
- Develop achievable personal and organizational goals (Intention).
- Continuously improve performance as they accomplish their goals (Repetition).

E,B,C’s of Conflict Transformation and Relationship Harmony
60 minute Workshop
One sure way to get a room full of raised hands is to ask a group of college students, “Who here has too much people related ‘drama’ in your life?” From relationship turmoil to problems getting along with roommates, coworkers and fellow group members, conflict drama is perhaps the major source of stress in young lives. Conversely, learning to peacefully resolve conflict while maintaining and strengthening healthy relationships is skill that will immensely benefit students now and throughout their lives.
This very practical workshop teaches students a simple, effective ‘Way’ of turning conflict into cooperation based on the art and philosophy of Aikido (the ‘martial art of peace’). Students will have less drama, improve relationships, and work more effectively as part of a team as they learn the E,B,C’s:
- Enter - understand the If, When, and How’s of conflict engagement.
- Blend – maintain balance and stability while seeking to understand other points-of-view.
- Complete – learn the appropriate attitudes and actions for finding win-win resolutions.
- Blend – maintain balance and stability while seeking to understand other points-of-view.

The Way of Leadership
60 minute Workshop / 2 hour Training (includes the E,B,C’s of Conflict Transformation and Relationship Harmony)
East meets West in this uniquely engaging leadership training where students learn to apply the ancient martial arts principle of aiki (harmonization) to modern leadership challenges. The art of Aikido teaches how to blend with and then redirect the energy of an attacker – a perfect metaphor for peacefully and effectively ‘taking on’ the issues of today’s campus leader.
Tommy (a black belt in Yoshinkan Aikido) demonstrates the philosophy and art of Aikido then walks students through a few safe and fun techniques demonstrating the aiki principle.
This content-rich AND highly interactive program provides an excellent team building experience while students:
