“All that is necessary to break the spell of inertia and frustration is this: Act as if it were impossible to fail.”

Dorothea Brande

“I can’t give you a sure-fire formula for success, but I can give you a formula for failure: Try to please everybody all the time.”

Herbert Bayard Swope

“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.”

Anatole France

“The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.”      Frank Lloyd Wright

“Dreams come true. Without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them.”      John Updike

Have the courage to follow your heart–and you will find your dream in that place where your mind meets your heart and your soul….

I received this testimonial following a visioning seminar I did last week:

“I want to thank you so much for coming to our group to inspire us to Live Into Our Dreams. It was a great session and the audience was on fire inspired by your self-assessment exercises! It was great to see so much audience participation and our group so captivated by your exercises. Thanks so much for helping our group and offering us some inspiration during this time that is so difficult for so many of us….It was great that many of our members shared their stories of self reflection and planning for the future.”

Wendy Gloyd, facilitator, Westford Networking Group

This is why I do what I do. It’s not about the money. It’s not about the accolades–although having this kind of validation is wonderful. If I can make a difference in just one person’s life–if I can touch and inspire someone to reach a little higher–then I have fulfilled my purpose. Changing the world–one person at a time–THAT’S what it’s all about for me!

It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you the hot-off-the-press Tom Ingrassia Productions promotional brochure, highlighting my menu of motivational seminars and workshops; individual coaching services; and multimedia lectures focusing on Motown and the connection between music and society in ’60s America.

You can download the brochure by clicking the box in the sidebar on the Home Page of this website.

Kudos to Ken McDonnell, of Mobius Connect, for his design and text writing of the brochure.

I certainly don’t fancy myself some kind of superhero. I don’t possess superpowers. I’m no different than you are–I’m just an ordinary guy. But sometimes, even ordinary people–even someone who used to think he didn’t have much to offer anyone–CAN achieve astonishing things…IF we believe in ourselves, know what we want, and discover ways to live into our dreams with vision, purpose, determination and passion. I mean, look at me–I have achieved amazing things during my journey from academic administrator to entertainment entrepreneur and lecturer–including working with many of the legendary singers from the ’60’s–the very people I grew up listening to and idolizing.

YOU already have the power within you. And with the help of this ordinary guy, I can help you find the power to make an extraordinary difference in the world.

Work like you don’t need the money.

Love like nobody has ever hurt you.

Dance like nobody is watching.

Sing like nobody is listening.

Live as if this was paradise on earth.

Now, you are probably thinking, “who IS this guy, and how can HIS experience help me?” True–finding purpose in my life meant a radical career re-invention from my role as a higher education administrator to one of a motivational speaker, life coach and manager of performing artists. Yes–living into my dream has the ring of a beautiful fairy tale. But living into YOUR dreams doesn’t have to mean a radical shift–unless that’s where you are in life.

If you are waiting for your ship to come in–for someone else to bring your dream to you, I want to meet you. I want to tell you, don’t wait for your ship to come in–swim out to meet it…into the deep water.

I can help. To learn more about my visioning seminars and workshops, and my individual coaching sessions, please email me using the contact form on this website.
