Get to Know
Dr. Myers
Tom Myers is a researcher, teacher, dad, husband, friend, and student — in that order, some days.
For the past 20 years, he's served as a professor and endowed chair at Champlain College, where he's taught strengths-based, experiential approaches to hundreds of students. Before that, his career spanned government leadership, entrepreneurial ventures, and academia — a mix that shapes how he coaches: practical, grounded, and allergic to jargon that doesn't actually help you.
His doctoral research, "The Emergent Synchronicity Principle in Appreciative Inquiry: Seeing the Connections," explored how people recognize and act on the meaningful patterns and opportunities that show up in their lives — the foundation of the coaching work he does today.
Outside of client work, Tom is a scuba diver and a founding board member of Reef Renewal USA in the Florida Keys, and ANEW Place in Burlington, VT. He's usually the one cooking for family, friends, or whoever's around. He lives in the Green Mountains of Vermont with his wife and they have two grown sons.
