“Dr. Tom McDonald served as Adjunct Professor over the past ten years at National University in La Jolla, California as part of the Educational Research and Educational Leadership programs. He taught multiple large and small group graduate seminars as well as credential required graduate courses. He provided a variety of professional development presentations for the instructional faculty and co-authored related instructional materials utilized throughout both programs. Tom uses his vast background relative to domestic and international organizational leadership with collaborative, creative, cutting-edge thinking to be a “go to person” at our university…. (or to be more formal….to be a highly valued member of our university faculty.)”

Tom McDonald has provided myself, as well as the team I lead, with expert leadership coaching. His coaching is challenging and thorough, while also being encouraging. With several decades of experience in both leading teams and coaching them, Tom is a deep well of wisdom and expertise. You and your team will greatly benefit from the coaching of Tom McDonald.

“At one point our ministry, Empower One, operated twelve elementary and two senior high schools in South Sudan. Dr. Tom McDonald was instrumental in these school's success. He traveled to South Sudan, at the time the newest country in the world, many times. He coached the overseeing headmaster, principals and teachers. Not only did he consult and coach on leadership, but he blended a base British system of education with the most innovative, modern teaching paradigms from the United States. With Dr. McDonald's coaching several of these schools scored among the highest national test grades in the country.
We're praying that we can put a primary school at every Flagship Church. We'll need you to come back!”

“During a challenging season of transition, Tom helped our organization clarify its vision and values. This clarity led to greater alignment among our team through a mission statement process allowing us to chart a course forward that led to organizational health and significant growth. Tom is an exceptional facilitator whose experience and wisdom run deep. He is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to create a healthy and transcendent team. ”
