All you have to do is swing-you don’t have to hit a home-run, (you) just have to hit singles, repetitively.” -Thom Singer

Turning 50 was a pivotal time for Thom Singer. He adopted the motto, “try new things”, and decided that “50-75 are going to be the best years of my life.” He began to say yes to new opportunities and take chances.

A few years into his speaking career, Thom was challenged by a friend to put that philosophy to work. The friend encouraged him to perform at a comedy club open-mic night, which was completely outside of his comfort zone. But he gave it a try and has since performed at 96 open-mic nights over a 2 year period.

That comedy club experience helped him become a better speaker and emcee. He feels he has become more playful and fun with the audience. He is also more in-touch with the authentic Thom and draws his energy from a great exchange with his audience.

“We can’t improve if we aren’t willing to take risks“. -Thom Singer

  • Ask what in your career, business, or life scares you?
  •  Then ask, if you get past this, what will the benefit be?
  • Say yes to overcoming it
  • Go out and Own It!
