One-on-One Coaching

 

I have coached with Dr. Tom for almost 2 years now. Over that time I have grown personally. He has taught me to identify my core values and include them in all I do. I have learned the value of gratitude, and how to appreciate each day. I have set goals and have a plan to reach my dreams.

My practice is much more organized and focused. I have started implementing systems to ensure a more predictable outcome.Everything Tom has guided me through has been molded around my core beliefs and goals not a cookie cutter model.Coaching with Tom has touched all aspects of my life. I always look forward to the challenges he presents.

Thank you Tom

Kim Patton, D.C. Port Hope, ON

 

This is so hard for me to articulate…. I have grown in leaps and bounds since I first started coaching with Dr. Tom. For the first time in my life I truly love the company I keep in the quiet moments. I no longer abuse myself mentally and I have improved in the physical self abuse significantly. When I was at the August Blue Lake retreat and stood in front of the group to tell everyone who I was, for the first time in 6 retreats I felt grounded in who I was. While I was still nervous, the physical sensation of standing up and being who I am and being ok with that was tangible. So, my many, many thanks to Dr. Tom for all your love, support, encouragement and help in showing me how to live my life more authentically!!!

Kelly Johnson, D.C. Perth, ON 

Dr Tom has given me the tools and strategies to maximize my full potential in not only business, but in all aspects of life. As a young chiropractor, Dr Tom has guided me through challenges I have faced in these early days of my career. He has allowed me to set up myself for life, constructing a path which will lead me to my success. His coaching style has allowed me to put full trust in my abilities, not only as a chiropractor but as a human being. I would strongly recommend all chiropractors work with Dr Tom if they wish to be ahead of the pack.

 

James Gullotta, D.C.  Australia

Tom has opened my eyes to what is possible in my life.  I now spend much higher quality of time with my 4 girls than ever before.  I am more conscious of my life and where I want it to go.  I am so grateful for Tom’s guidance and wisdom.  Thank you!

Mike Price, D.C. Omaha, NE 

A year ago I was bored out, lacking direction, just going thru the motions and clearly not living up to my potential.  Today things are different.  I am excited about the future and I have vision and direction.   I am reaching more of my potential as a chiropractor and as a human being.  My coaching experience was pivotal in achieving this and I simply can’t speak highly enough of Tom’s talent, integrity and excellence.  This coaching experience has gone well beyond my expectations.

Chris Kane, D.C. Fort Mill, SC 

There are no coincidences in life.  My path crossed with Dr. Tom Preston about 2 years ago and I haven’t looked back since!  His expertise, knowledge, yet gentleness set the momentum in my life to excel to greatness.  Since working with Tom my entire quality of life has improved in all areas.  I have a crystal clear vision of who I am and leverage my values against the choices I make on a daily basis.  I never would have thought 9 years ago when I began my chiropractic career that I could have the practice and family life balance of my dreams.  Tom is genuine, authentic, the real deal.

Thank you!  Much love and gratitude to you Tom!

Dr. Alison Cummings, New York, U.S.A. 

I knew I wanted Tom as my coach after my first conversation with Tom.  It was easy to connect with him and I didn’t feel pressured into anything.   I have learned over the years that my life is a reflexion of who I am.  So if I want more in life then I knew that I needed to work on me first and the rest would fall into place.  When I started I was struggling with the balance of being a mom and my life passion of being a Chiropractor.   Since coaching with Tom I have clearly defined my core values and found great balance in life.  I have seen amazing growth in my family life, in my practice and more importantly I have a great sense of wellbeing and happiness.  Thank you for pushing me when I needed to be pushed and cheering me on when I needed it most.

 

Dr. Dodie Elkins, Gananoque ON 

I feel my coaching experience with Dr. Tom has been a fantastic experience. He is the best coach I have ever had, from athletics to business. In my experience with other chiropractic coaches, he is the only true coach in chiropractic that doesn’t just want you to be like him! He makes you work to truly define your ideal life and then holds you accountable to do what you say you’re going to do! I have grown more and have become more authentic to my dream life in one year with Tom than I have with years of coaching and programs with many of our professions guru’s. I have also accomplished more in this year than any years’ prior. My consciousness, relationships and expression resonate a much higher level thanks to Tom’s influence. It’s a lot of work but the benefits are well worth all the effort. Thank you so much for helping me discover and live my dream life and become a better expression of my authentic self!

Dr. D.J. LeDrew

Dr. Tom is more than I could have ever asked for in a Coach. When initially seeking out someone to coach me through starting and running a practice, I had an idea he/she would be someone who was very one dimensional; All about business, and that was what I would get.. just a greater understanding of business from a Chiropractic model. Not unlike what I had in the business classes in school.

WELL! I was hooked the moment that I talked with Tom the first time on the phone. I felt an INSTANT connection to him and new right away that yes, he was going to offer me GREAT business advice from a Chiropractic perspective, but that was only a FRACTION of what Tom is about as a Coach.

He comes from a place of true LOVE for what he does, and love for people. His coaching style is about creating not only a successful practice, but a successful LIFE based on who you are as an individual. And the cool thing is that he helps you to discover who you really are, and what is really important to you.

I have never felt so supported than I do with Tom. He is so genuine in his approach and really allows you to experience and express whatever it is you need. AND he challenges you in a way that allows you to see your own greatness. I have never worked so hard on myself and my practice and LOVE every minute of it. I continue to grow in practice, but also in my understanding of myself. He is on my side 110% (and beyond).

My experience with Tom as a coach and mentor has allowed me to know myself and my strengths more than I could have ever imagined. I am continually inspired and am blessed to have him in my life!

Dr. Kacie Flegal, California, U.S.A.

 

Tom Preston is a joy to coach with. Our focus has been on living a happy, balanced, and successful life, and building the practice to support that vision. I have fortunately had the experience in the past of working with some pretty great coaches, and in my opinion, Tom is a great coach. He understands the many levels at which we human beings function, and supports and encourages you to bring your life into congruency. When our values, goals and purpose meet, supported by sound planning and business strategy, we live life with passion and fulfillment. I appreciate his sound guidance and huge heart.

Susan Burger, D.C. Morrisville, Pa.

 

I was introduced to Dr. Tom Preston in 1998 in his role as a rising star on the chiropractic lecture/seminar circuit. He delivered his flawless presentation so passionately, that I knew instinctively I had to have more of what he had to offer. Soon thereafter, he agreed to be my life coach & we have been working together ever since. Without a doubt, Tom has become a tremendous source of inspiration for me, both personally & professionally. His forte is his ability to step outside the loop, and offer sound advice devoid of the emotional attachment that often clouds our decision making process. Tom has enabled me to discover more of my true ‘inner self’ while guiding me in my quest for personal development. Tom will forever remain my finest mentor in every sense of the word, and I highly recommend him.

Dr. David Matheson, Sarnia, Ontario.  

 

I have been working with Dr. Tom for only 4 months (very hard to believe!). In that time my practice has almost doubled, and I have met my goals that I set when we first started. There has not been a situation that I have encountered that he has not already been through, hence been able to give me solid experience, strength and hope. I truly feel blessed to have Tom shining his light on my mastery as a chiropractor, professional and seeker. My expectations of a coach have never been anything short of grand, and I truly feel that I have the greatest coach in our awesome profession.

Dr. Jodi Dinnerman, Clinton NJ

Dr. Stephen Lippitt, Belleville, Ont. 

 

Coaching with Tom Preston has been an absolute gift.

Because Tom is grounded in a vitalistic philosophy and understands that life is holographic, his coaching affects every aspect of life. Tom is masterful at looking into old patterns of behaviours and beliefs that are creating limitation in life, then finding empowering ways to help clients move past limitation towards the life of their dreams.

Whether you are just starting in practice or a seasoned veteran looking to take your life/practice to the next level, Tom possesses the knowledge, tools, skills and heart to help you meet your goals.

Dr. Jesse Morris, San Rafael, California 

Tom pushes me. He accepts no less than the best I’ve got, and then shows me that I have even more. He offers no judgment or condemnation, only the encouragement of a man who knows it can be done, and knows that I can do it. He is insightful and experienced, and knows how to keep me at the top of my game.

I started coaching with Tom when we were already starting to turn things around, and his addition helped push us to a new level. What’s more, he has become someone we can trust to advise us, my wife and I, on our personal lives as well, ensuring balance, honest and open communication, and adherence to our most cherished values.

Dr. Paul Martin, Tacoma, Washington 

 

Tom

You ever had that uncomfortable feeling that you are “growing?”  Do you know how that feels to go through that alone?  What if you didn’t have to go through it alone and that you had someone reminding you around every corner that you are exactly where you are supposed to be in time and space because you are living from your SOURCE?  I am here to tell you that Dr Tom is that person.

We moved from a suburb of Chicago to Colorado without knowing a soul in the beautiful Rockies.  We started our business on credit cards, and faith.  Well that and with Tom’s help, the knowledge that we were doing exactly what we were suppose to be doing because we were guided by our own authentic values.  In coach’s words we “knocked it out of the park” and were serving our community with excellence and without debt at the end of 2 remarkable months.

6 months later we are on the path to financial freedom.  What is more is that it has not come at the expense of 70 hour work weeks, burnout, or family drama.  Instead we work less, play more and are growing our family strength every moment of everyday.  We live by our own design, and what a gift that has been from Coach.

Dr. Jay Breitlow, Longmount, Colorado 

Dr Tom you have been a great mentor sharing your perspective on being before having and really helping find out what it means to me to be successful and helping me recognize that it is not necessarily big money. Money is energy that we exchange but time with family is the same thing often of even greater value.

You have guided me through challenges in my own relationships and shown me what it means to stand in my strength and space. Lifestyle is what I have learned to choose over the large amounts of money and I have also recognized that what I bring to relationships should not be measured in currency alone. What I bring as a spiritual being is of much greater value.

I have become more passionate about who I am and what I have to offer. I understand the truth about chiropractic more clearly. I have found a friend who shares great wisdom with me and acknowledges the value that I to bring to the relationship.

Thank you

Dr Wayne Jakeman, Vancouver, B.C.

Thank you, Thank you Dr. Tom! From your support & constant guidance I have been able to reconnect with my purpose. Because of this I have become more confident and willing to take necessary risks so I could grow immensely. My family life, professional life and all other aspects of my being have improved. Thank you, Thank you Dr. Tom

Karen Hayhurst, Guelph, Ontario 

 

The past eight months has be an extremely crucial time in my life in all aspects of life. From personally relocating my family and my business, to starting up a new, out of the box business, it has been a very transitional period in my life.

With your guidance, and accountability, I have emerged at the other end with a strong foundation in my business. Your ability to be as dynamic with your coaching as my business is to this profession and scheduling, has made the experience a positive and extremely effective.

You have given me the tools and structure to move my business through its growth and make it a successful enterprise. The methods of analysis, the planning calendars and strategies, and the non cookie-cutter approach has helped me take my business to the next level, without making common mistakes.

It has been a great experience working with you over the past year and I look forward to developing our relationship in both the near and distant future.

Dr. Noam Teplitsky, Toronto, Ontario

 

Dr. Tom’s coaching program is enormously helpful in motivating you to set and reach your life and business goals. He keeps you accountable and doesn’t forget any (sometimes you wish he would) assignments you are supposed to complete. He helps you create the lifestyle of your dreams and helps you create more organization and systems in your office so things flow smoother. It is always a pleasure working with Tom, he is very positive, caring and organized. I recommend coaching to anyone who wants to step up their personal or business game to the next level.

Dr. Bonnie Chuter, Richmond, B.C.

 

I’m not sure if skeptical is the word, but I wasn’t really sure what to expect from the coaching process. I have seen my husband go through it for several years but still didn’t quite “get it”. However, after experiencing the process for the last 5 months, I can truly say that I have not only got my money’s worth but much more. The clarity of thought and self-love has no price. Tom has been a great guide on my journey.

Retreats

 

 

I was speaking to Steven this morning about the first retreat on your island all those years ago…..brought back lots of memories…..nice ones.

It was the beginning of such a change in my life….and you were wise enough to insist on me attending….and thus began my journey to where I am today…..and since I left Steven I have been wondering how one ever thanks a friend for having such a positive impact on their life…..it is a hard thing to do because written and spoken words do not even come close to what one wants to express…..so here I am all of these years later, loving you for being you and providing the environment that led me to where I am today….a much better place then I could ever have imagined….so even tho this “thank you” appears small in print…..it is most heart felt and full of love.

Lonna Mackie, North Bay, Ontario

 

Coaching with Dr. Tom Preston for the past six months and attending the Inner Power Workshop has provided me with an “inner mirror” which has enabled me to see into myself and my Dream Life and Lifestyle on all levels. My ability to focus and clear away the chaos and useless baggage has been incredibly life altering. Family, friends and colleagues all have received the benefits of my coaching experience with Dr. Tom. I am truly blessed by having made the commitment to having Tom as my mentor. I would highly recommend anyone who truly wants to discover themselves, and to bring their dreams to life, to work with Dr. Tom. The wisdom, guidance and compassion he brings to his coaching sessions are priceless.

Dr. Michaela Cadeau, Almonte, Ontario

 

INNER POWER SEMINARS HELPED ME TO CONFRONT ISSUES FROM MY PAST THAT WERE KEEPING ME FROM ACHIEVING MY GOALS AND SHOWING THE TRUE ME. IT HELPED ME TO LISTEN TO MY HEART AND BE CONFIDENT THAT GOD HAS A GREATER PLAN FOR ME. I AM ETERNALLY GRATEFUL TO DR. TOM AND HIS STAFF FOR REVEALING THE LIGHT THAT BURNS INSIDE ME.

DR. CATHY HOLTSCHLAG

Camp Point, Illinois

 

“The Inner Power weekend was a catalyst for growth and change. The experience helped me release stuck actions, emotions and energies. It was a wonderful and powerful experience in a hauntingly beautiful setting.”
Susan Burger, DC. Morrisville, Pennsylvania 

 

As with many new experiences, it was not without some mild trepidation that I made the journey across Canada to participate in Dr. Preston’s Inner Power seminar. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect but I knew I wanted to be there. The weekend took place in an unbelievably beautiful setting. Over the weekend we were challenged, supported, enlightened, and guided. For anyone interested in moving beyond where they are at or pushing through barriers this weekend is a must. Dr. Tom was the perfect facilitator, amazingly skilled at removing those ‘between the ears’ subluxations. I left with invaluable skills that I didn’t have prior to the seminar. My advice is to file all of the excuses and reasons ‘why not’ under G for garbage and get off your butt and just do it. You deserve the benefits that this weekend offers!!

Dr. Kale Matovich, Calgary, Alberta

 

I have spent many hours and tens of thousands of dollars in my attempt to achieve personal growth, financial success and some level of inner peace.  My
I.P. weekend was the best bang for the buck I have spent in my 12yrs as a chiropractor.  It was a transformational weekend, just ask my wife.  I write this letter more than a month after our weekend together because I wanted to allow time for the short lived impressions to fade.  I am left with the following long term impressions.

  1. I’m more comfortable in my skin and more calm inside than I’ve been since childhood.
  2. I have reduced my escapist behavior by at least 80%. No longer do I spend hours/day watching T.V.
  3. I’m more accepting/less cynical of situations and people, including myself.
  4. I don’t repeatedly revisit/relive bad situations in my mind.
  5. I’m quicker to calm and move on after an emotional upset.
  6. I’m more able to appreciate the success/abundance that already exists in my life.
  7. Improved self confidence/confrontational tolerance.

Thanks for providing the “experience” and inspiring hope.

Warmest Regards,

Dr. Steve Giltz, Farmville, Virginia

 

The other bit of fun that I’m having is working with our Aikido Master, and innate intelligence extraordinaire.  He’s so enlightened about innate and letting it lead. He has been able to pick up where you left off in that aspect of my journey to who I am, where I’m going and why I’m here.

You are almost always in my thoughts, because it was you that shifted me to this new and better place, and I am still very grateful to you for that, in awe of it actually.   I miss our conversations and enjoy drawing from your knowledge in the spiritual realm….sorry to be driving you crazy though, that wasn’t the intended outcome!

Great chatting with you,

much love, Jen

 

Dr. Tom Preston is someone I truly respect. He offers an individual coaching journey, not a formula coaching program.  In the first year of our coaching, I married my first love, had the courage to build and buy an estate home, decluttered huge parts of my life and have in essence gained better perspective in many areas.   I have more certainty about the difference between excellence and perfectionism.   Although his own journey has brought him into a higher level of consciousness, he works with your needs of present day in a non-judgemental manner.

In the long weekend at Blue Lake Lodge that we named “Summer camp for Adults”, I met outstanding and gifted chiropractors.  As well, I received epiphanies into my life that were priceless.

Can you afford this program?  The question is; Can you afford not to?

Dr. Shannon Farnel,

Alberta

 

Coach, working with you for the past two years has been the best money I have spent.  I feel like I have climbed mountains, swam oceans to get to the point in my life I am right now.  And the best thing is I’m still young and there are many many more years to grow and see change.  If this can happen in 2 years, imagine the possibility for the next 60, 70 years!! I’ve moved to the opposite side of the world, have the practice of my dreams, fell in love, I’m healthy and I’m so happy.  Thank you for all you’ve helped me with.

Dr. Rupinder Grewal, Nelson Bay, Australia

 

As the healing occurs from the inside out Dr. Tom Preston has been coaching and showing me ways to heal, change and grow from the inside out.  He is more than a business coach he is my Life Coach.

We have worked with my fears and what a difference.  I am able to approach tasks with strength and increased confidence. When I first started working with Tom I did not know what my core values were.  Tom has taught me that in order to have improved congruencies with the decisions I make it is very important to know what my values are.  Now my values influence my decisions and have allowed me to live a life that is much more balanced between work and play.

I am able to react to challenges in my life with a healthy perceptive and know that support is always there.  Everyday I am getting better at being grateful for all of the good and challenges in my life.

The changes that have occurred in my life would not have been possible without the help of my coach.  He makes me accountable in a warm and encouraging environment.  I know I can trust Tom with anything I say or do there is never any judgment.

I want to thank Tom for everything he is a wonderful life coach.  He is inspiring and coaches from the heart.

Thank-you

Dr. Gracinda Ramos

 

Dear Dr. Tom Preston,

It ‘s been three months since the retreat and I decided to write and share my lasting impressions with you so you could relay them to others.

Looking back; the island is beautiful!  It is a remote location that gives visitors a chance to re-identify with their true authentic selves, explore what they have become and then adjust accordingly.

I felt safe. The retreat felt professionally facilitated and that allowed the focus to be on personal growth and actualization.

For me, this retreat was exactly where Innate wanted me.  I was in need of an opportunity to shed my anger and frustration with God for taking a loved one away from us through seemingly cruel death.  I learned, through this retreat experience, to honor her life and God’s will. My own sacred self reminded me that we are not separate but whole in spirit.

I will be forever connected to the group as we made powerful bonds that will last a lifetime.

Thank you for following your dream and manifesting this retreat.  Please feel free to share this letter with anyone.
With Love,

Loving Star (Dr. Christian Reilly)

Chiropractic Excellence Program

 

Dr Tom’s Chiropractic Excellence Program uses the Socratic mentoring method and the Program is truly transformational. Each module is laid out clearly. Questions are asked of the DC to stimulate him to “dig deep” and ask himself the why’s so that the how’s can follow. The program is an exceptional one to start with if you have never had a coach or would complement most other Chiropractic Coaching programs.

Dr. Eric Butz, Toronto, Canada

 

The Chiropractic Excellence program has been very beneficial to myself and to my practice. I have made some positive changes in my practice, have seen about 20% growth in the practice volume in the last 5 months, have been able to take off an extra afternoon and not feel guilty about it and have felt more focussed and energized at work. The program has helped me create more balance in my life, has taught me more about managing personal and work finances and has helped motivate me to continue to improve. Thanks Tom, I look forward to more coaching with you in the future.

Dr. Bonnie Chuter, Vancouver, Canada.

 

I have been in practice for more than 11 years and I always thought that I wanted a mentor but I now realize that I needed a coach. Never again will I not have a coach. Working with Dr. Tom has been invaluable to me as a individual as well as a doctor. I now understand that I was not running my business, my business was running me. This was draining and not rewarding. I loved the practice side but not the business side. Since working with Dr. Tom I have recognized what I want, as I had lost my dream, and I now have the tools to get there. If I get stuck I know that I will I feel confident that Dr. Tom will have the insight to assist me to get on track. I recommend that you start to take care of yourself, your practice, your business and your practice members and give Dr. Tom a chance to help you find and achieve your dream.

Dr. Lynne McRoberts

Toronto, On

 

Coach Tom,

I hesitate to share with you every successful week I have for several
reasons but I have to this week. I broke 200 pm visits (204), I’m not sure
why but as I type this I’m tearing up. In the last 4 months my life has so
dramatically changed that my emotions are bare right now. The numbers are
changing, the energy is positive and the momemtum growing. I remember
reading once that when you need the teacher he will present himself, just be
ready to accept the opportunity. My life as a chiropractor now has meaning,
has goals, has direction, has spirit and all pm and staff feel it. I’m
proud of my office and what it stands for.

Intead of decreasing by 20% in December we’ve increased by 15%. I’m working Christmas Eve in the morning not because I have to but because I want to. I
get 5 days off after that. As pm visits grow it gets easier and easier.

Dr. Serge Froment, Morinville, Alberta

 

Tom Preston’s CE program is unlike most other chiropractic programs as it focuses on setting up your practice to be a reflection of your core values as opposed to most cookie cutter programs that try to mould you into their “right way of doing things”. Tom is an extremely upbeat and dedicated coach who has put together the right mix of chiropractic, business and more importantly life skills tools into a 12 conference call format that both inspires and motivates his students to continue on their path to self-discovery.

Hi Tom

Just a quick note I am hard at work completing the assignments due (24hrs).

I have been listening to your CD’s and they are AWESOME! I think they should be mandatory for your coaching program.

Thanks every so much!
