Dr. Tom Lauda is recognized as one of the worldwide pioneers in executive team coaching and one of the earliest executive coaches internationally. He blends legal training and military leadership (Austria), professional motor racing and instruction (UK), early banking experience at a leading global bank and at a European-Saudi joint venture, and U.S. studies in applied work psychology. Add to this decades of studies with the world’s most accomplished mindfulness teachers. Tom’s diverse background gives him a natural ability to even engage contrasting personalities in forward-moving, innovative interactions.

Tom is continuously expanding and refining his tailored tools and innovative methods for cultivating the success of individual leadership styles and how such unique styles can powerfully fuse into thriving team dynamics at the top. His work excels even amid quite challenging circumstances.
