Host Rexhen interviews Tom O'Neil, an award-winning international speaker, best-selling author ("The 1% Principle"), and career development expert. Tom's work has been featured in Harvard Business Review and The Economist, and he leads cv.co.nz.

Tom's journey to coaching began at Deloitte New Zealand, where he observed successful professionals often lacked life balance. This inspired him to help clients achieve a holistic approach to career and well-being. He highlights his "Achievements Questionnaire" as a powerful tool, even published in "What Color Is Your Parachute?", that helps clients understand their true value, sharing a compelling story of an 18-year-old realizing her significant accomplishments.

He coaches a broad range of clients, from students to CEOs, including mothers returning to the workforce. Tom's client acquisition relies on organic search (via owning key domain names like cv.co.nz), strong referrals, and Google Ads. He also maintains an active LinkedIn presence with value-driven content.

Looking ahead, Tom aims to continue his impactful work and address the challenge of effectively "marketing himself." He advises coaches to be bold, network actively, and clearly articulate their value.
