Tim Hast is the author of, "Powerful Listening. Powerful Influence. Work Better. Live Better. Love Better."

Tim provides organizational training, development, and coaching services in leadership, listening, communication, conflict management, mediation, and team building. His work is based on training and facilitating trust-based relationships. In addition to his own training and coaching business, he also presents seminars for SkillPath Seminars, a national training company based in Kansas City.

The son of missionaries and raised in Puerto Rico, Tim observed the cross-cultural dissonance between Caribbean and Oklahoma cultures.  As a child, he realized most conflicts are the result of misunderstanding and miscommunication.

Tim learned from running his own business for many years that a manager can make or break an employee. As a counselor focusing on couples in conflict, Tim observed that as in most relationships, both personal and professional, relational problems are rooted in poor communication that often leads to conflict. And great listening is the key to correcting poor communication patterns. He now uses the skills he first learned as a business owner and counselor to coach and train people in the workplace.

Powerful Listening. Powerful Influence. is available at Amazon.com in both print and e-book versions.

Tim lives in Edmond, Oklahoma with his wife, where they enjoy weekly conversations over the dinner table with their two sons and their wives, and their grandson.
