CEO and Founder @EffortOverResults Coaching / Keynote Speaker / ICF Certified Leadership / Performance Coach / Former Pro Athlete / Host of the “Effort Over Results” PodcastWith over two decades of experience spanning leadership, coaching, and advisory services, I am committed to empowering organizations to foster resilience, retention, and results. As Founder and CEO of Effort Over Results Coaching, I partner with leaders and teams to cultivate effort-first cultures where motivation, accountability, and alignment thrive. By prioritizing effort over outcomes, I aim to help organizations unlock untapped potential while championing inclusivity, trust, and sustainable growth.


Founder and CEO of Effort Over Results Coaching
Helping leaders and teams unlock resilience, retention, and results through an EOR culture

Effort is what moves the needle. Not just results.

After 20+ years in leadership, coaching, and competitive athletics — I’ve seen firsthand what organizations miss:

They measure what’s easy, reward the visible, and lose the very people who keep the lights on.

EOR Coaching helps organizations build a culture that sees effort clearly and values it loudly

What We Do:

We build effort-first cultures inside organizations so people are not just productive — they’re motivated, accountable, and aligned.

Our services include:
 • Leadership Coaching (1:1 + team)
Develop high-trust, effort-driven leaders who inspire action
 • Company Workshops & Trainings
Live and virtual sessions to install the EOR framework
 • Effort Assessment & Culture Diagnostics: Proprietary tools that measure psychological safety, recognition, risk tolerance: before and after our engagement.
 • 12-Week Leadership Curriculum
A program that helps teams embed EOR values, language, and systems.
 • The EOR System
Our full-stack leadership methodology
 • Keynotes & Speaking Engagements
Real stories, real talk, and real strategy

Why Effort Over Results?

Because in today’s economy, talent isn’t leaving for more money — they’re leaving for more meaning.

When you recognize and coach effort, here’s what you unlock:
  Higher retention
  More innovation
  Faster learning
  Lower burnout
  Stronger culture
  Authentic leadership
  Psychological safety


Who We Work With

 • Founders & CEOs building strong, sustainable cultures
 • Fast-growing companies scaling to 100+ employees
 • Senior leaders looking to upgrade team performance without pressure
 • Organizations tired of turnover, tension, and “checked out” employees
 • School districts, coaches, and parents implementing EOR in youth development

My Creativity Coaching Angle -

Hadick Creative can help with building websites, content strategy, or coaching teams on being creative. See HadickCreative.comRenewable Creativity has courses and free articles on every facet of developing your creative spirit. See RenewableCreativity.com

Four Segments:

• Creativity is for everyone, not just poets and artists, but business folk, office workers, and trades people
• Creativity is like physical fitness: it needs a strong foundation of sleep, nutrition, a little planning and maybe some goals
• Generative A.I. is just another distraction, like too much television, or drinking, that can rob you of the chance to be creative
• Humans are the most creative creatures on earth. Creativity pulled out of the darkness, and can be a source of constant joy if you put in a little effort

Reflections from a builder, operator, and reinvention partner. For more information about Wendy or to get in touch with her, please visit: 

Wendi Burkhardt  
Email Wendi

Tom's takeaways from this episode with Wendi, as well as words from Wendi can be found below!

1. WHAT is success?

Success isn’t one-size-fits-all. For me, it’s about surrounding myself with people—capital partners, collaborators, and teams—who share my values and care about the same outcomes I do. Alignment is everything.

Success is the quality of people you surround yourself with—and ensuring they’re aligned with what you care about.

2. HOW do you achieve it?

By stepping into complexity and finding the opportunity others overlook.
Rolling up your sleeves, doing the work, and being curious.

3. IF you’re stuck, what do you do?

Reconnect with what has always driven you—even if your current role doesn’t.
Don’t be afraid to try something new


4. WHEN do you know it’s time to evolve?

When your comfort zone starts to feel like a cage. 
You know it’s time to evolve when the version of success you’re living no longer feels like yours.


What The Tom Matt Show's Audience Should Know About Me - Wendi Burkhardt

    1    I build things—from the ground up and the inside out.
I’ve led startups, raised capital, fixed broken systems, and helped organizations grow through transition. Whether launching a proptech platform for aging adults or leading growth at a private equity firm focused on special-situation tech companies, I know how to build value where others see complexity.

    2    I’ve reinvented myself—and helped others do the same.
I’ve shifted from founder to investor, from mission-driven tech to buyouts, and from operating a company to advising others. Reinvention isn’t just a theme for me—it’s a lived experience. I help leaders and organizations navigate those same crossroads with clarity and confidence.

    3    I’m values-driven—but results-oriented. I believe in doing meaningful work—but it has to work. I’ve built business models that are financially sustainable and mission-aligned. I care deeply about impact, aging, housing, and equity—but I lead with discipline, accountability, and data.

    4    I don’t believe success is one-size-fits-all. Titles, exits, and metrics matter—but what really matters is whether your life and work reflect who you are and what you value. I’ve helped founders, executives, and platforms recalibrate not just what they’re doing—but why.

Audio expert, professional musician, DJ, talk show host, producer, Mitch Anderson, and his 'Black Circle Radio' are a force to be reckoned with.  In this episode we talk about Mitch's top shows he has produced for us, including Rob Helm, Danielle Radin, Roland Lazenby just to name a few.  

Also we talk about Mitch and his journey into sobriety, which of course I support entirely.

Take a listen to Black Circle Radio when your done with this episode!

Fun fact: The theme song for The Tom Matt Show was originally named, "The Expanding Grip"!
Song written by The Arc of All and Mitch Anderson as the duo The Source of Light & Power

There are many factors that are leading us to wonder what is next in real estate?  What is "The Next Big Thing" according to Brock Fletcher of the Selling Team of Keller Williams Realty"

• In April, the average mortgage rate was 6.71%. Median home values are up 2.7% year over year at $403,700.
• In 2025, affordability may improve somewhat as rates are predicted to ease while price growth moderates.
• But because there's so much uncertainty in the economy right now, this forecast could change.
