Tom is a partner in a business consultancy in Cincinnati, Ohio. He earned a BS from Denison University and a JD from Salmon P. Chase College of Law, NKU. Tom is a Senior Member of the The Enneagram In Business Network and a Certified Teacher in The Narrative Enneagram.This, his first book, grew out of years of volunteer work in Lebanon Correctional Institute in Ohio. An executive coach, Tom uses the Enneagram personality model both in and out of prison. The word response-ability simply describes his objective, to enable inmates to respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively to lifes challenges.Tom entered prison under the auspices of the Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati beginning in June 2016. He volunteered weekly in Catholic Programming at Lebanon Correctional. As this book was in its final edit, Tom was informed that the Bishop was banning Toms work from the program declaring his Enneagram use as inconsistent with Catholic dogma.
