Tom Morin
Tom Morin was nearly killed twice at work, and then a third time trying to escape unfulfilling work: he was shelled in the former Yugoslavia, just missed being chopped in half on a drilling rig, and survived oxygen deprivation high on a mountain in Peru.
His last brush with death forced him to critically examine his own working life, and compelled him to help others do the same. Tom has transformed his always challenging and sometimes dangerous working life into a mission to create a better world of work. Tom is the author of, Your Best Work: Create the Working Life That's Right for You.
After his military career, Tom became a project manager and people leader in multi-national corporations. Toward the end of his two-decade corporate career, he co-founded Work Innovation Partners and now provides consulting and coaching services through Work Feels Good. Tom is an experienced and accomplished organizational leader, and an inspiring speaker and writer focused on the world of work and leadership.
Tom Morin completed graduate studies in the social sciences and researched various topics in leadership and organizational behavior. He is Associate Faculty at Royal Roads University, where he is also a recipient of the University Founders' Award, and he is a part-time instructor at Mount Royal University. Tom's consulting and coaching practice is focused on leadership in critical moments, aligning leadership teams, and helping individuals create a more meaningful working life.
