I have long been fascinated with creating maps and tools that simplify the complexities of life. I have used these tools to become a lawyer, university professor, compliance and leadership consultant, executive coach, and senior leader in two global organizations. I have written four other self-help books, three of them under the pen name Tomi Llama. An avid learner, I believe life is a grand adventure. When I am not sitting on the back porch of my North Carolina home with my tennis-loving husband and tennis-ball-fetching black lab, I enjoy my latest career as a coach, keynote speaker, and facilitator.
