Success Mindset for Entrepreneurs & Athletes

Guest: Tom Coffing We’ll discuss gaining insight into “having it all”: * Creating a successful company that has grown dramatically in four years * Sited as a role model for his pro golfer daughter, Carling Coffing * The parallel between entrepreneurialism and athleticism * Learn Tera-Tom’s Tools for the Success Mindset Tom founded Coffing Data warehousing 17 years ago and is still the CEO today. Tom’s in depth understanding of computers combined with his world-class speaking capabilities soon earned Tom the reputation as being one of the best technical speakers in the world, and his students fondly began calling him Tera-Tom because of his knowledge of Teradata Data Warehousing. Tera-Tom has written over 30 books on Teradata and has taught over 1,000 classes throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Africa, India, Malaysia and China. Tom directed Coffing Data Warehousing towards its most challenging transformation by creating the Nexus Query Chameleon, a business user’s desktop tool designed for all aspects of Business Intelligence. The Nexus is the first desktop BI tool designed to access all computer vendor’s databases including Teradata, Oracle, IBM, Netezza, Greenplum, and Microsoft. This changed the computer industry because customers could now utilize multiple vendors in their previously proprietary environments and bring the data together via the Nexus. Microsoft was so impressed with the concept that they currently OEM the Nexus for their customers. The Nexus has hundreds of major companies using the product including Dell, Bank of America, Nationwide Insurance, AT&T, Pepsico, Vodafone, Telcel, Microsoft, Netezza, Warner Bros and many more. Tom founded a business called “The Speech Doctor” where Tom works with business people and teaches them all aspects of speaking, presenting, communicating and selling. Tom also was the two-time All American, Sophomore athlete of the year&winner of 2 regional Olympic trials.
