Tom Dowd – Displacement Day

Mike Brenhaug interviews Tom Dowd on eTALKS to discuss Tom's new book Displacement Day. Tom Dowd is a graduate of the University of Delaware with a Communication degree. Tom is a prize-winning speaker, award-winning author,and trainer—all spurred by his need to be more than a painfully shy and introverted individual on a rollercoaster ride of success. 

Tom received the call nobody wanted:  “We’re downsizing.”  After unexpectedly losing his full-time job, Tom landed in a better place in just 59 days using methods from his coaching and training.  He is now a VP at one of the larger financial institutions in North America.  In 2011, he started his own side business “Thomas Dowd Professional Development & Coaching” where he continues to use the lessons learned on his climb up the corporate ladder to help people creatively find ways to differentiate themselves in the workplace and to find their own individual paths toward success. The mantra is “Transform into who you really want to be.” On what was thought to be a typical work day, author Thomas Dowd received The Call Nobody Wants:  “We’re downsizing.” In the midst of an economic downturn, the author had some choices to make in how to most effectively approach the new journey. Displacement Day is for anyone who has ever had the unfortunate—or fortunate—task of finding a job.
