Tom Gardener - Playbook Consultants
all about listening

the art of nuanced conversations

I collect stories. I get people to explain their magic to me, repeat back the important bits for clarification and float your value to the surface.

Perfection doesn’t interest me. I’m constantly drawn to outsiders, anomalies and pattern-breakers who are interested in doing the work for a brand upgrade that will energize your business for the next 4 years.

Let’s focus on your positives, put a few points on the board and start stringing some wins together.
