Dr Tom has spoken to over 100,000 people live, with audiences ranging up to 19,000 in a single talk, and the feedback consistently says the same thing: he made us care, he made us laugh, and he told us what to actually do about it. 

His keynotes are not lectures. They're experiences.

Tom has a rare ability to hold a room completely, combining sharp humour, raw personal storytelling, and deep academic expertise in a way that keeps even the most distracted minds fully engaged. There's a reason neurodivergent audience members regularly tell him it's the first talk they've sat through without checking their phone all year.

Tom takes complex research and makes it land. Not by dumbing it down, but by making it human. He weaves together his own story of growing up as an ADHD kid who was written off by the education system with the clinical insight he gained working in ADHD and autism assessment teams, the academic rigour of his published research, and the kind of practical, actionable strategies that people can take straight back to their desks, their classrooms, or their families. 

Audiences leave Tom's keynotes feeling something they didn't expect: confident. Confident that they understand neurodivergence better than they did an hour ago. Confident that they know what to do next. And, more often than not, genuinely moved by a speaker who doesn't just talk about making a difference but has spent his entire career doing it. Whether he's addressing 50 managers in a boardroom or 5,000 delegates at a national conference, Tom connects. He's funny without being flippant, vulnerable without being performative, and challenging without being preachy. He leaves rooms feeling different to how they felt when he walked in, and that's the whole point.
