the coach
“Now I am on a different path. The dumb young man, who mumbled, is now helping senior executives present their ideas in English. Showing them how to create messages that are short, sharp and sticky. How is that possible?”.”

THE COACH
The Book That Changed My Life
the challenge
Tomas wasn’t a natural presenter. He mumbled as a child especially when he was nervous or excited. He didn’t enjoy presenting and had the added challenge of learning English as a second language.
During his career in general management at Maersk, a German logistics company, Tomas sat through countless presentations he considered dull and boring. He was determined to help the leadership team improve the way they present their ideas.
“Now I am on a different path,” says Tomas. “The young man who mumbled is now helping senior executives present their ideas in English. Showing them how to create messages that are short, sharp and sticky. How is that possible?”
the result
Tomas introduced the principles he learned in Carmine’s book to the rest of the company. He ran ‘Talk Like Steve’ workshops based on the book. The workshops were well received and “transformative” according to Bay. That was the beginning of a career change.
Tomas made presentation training a career goal. He is now an executive coach who has helped professors at Harvard Business School, TED speakers, startups and senior business professionals. “It’s been an awesome ride,” says Bay.
Tomas Bay, coach, mentor, and advisor credits Carmine Gallo and his book for changing his life. This one book not only changed his life’s path, it helped him find his life’s passion.
transformation
Tomas’s career made a dramatic shift on January 7, 2011. Tomas remembers the exact day because it was the day he discovered Carmine’s books; the books that would change his life.
It was a cold Friday in Hong Kong. I was browsing for books on Amazon. That’s when it happened. I saw the book that would eventually change my life. It was ‘The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs’ by Carmine Gallo. I was already a fan of Steve Jobs and Apple, so it was an easy buy. I was hooked. I started reading the book the same day, and I finished it in two days. I highlighted the important parts. I made notes. I thought, “Wow. Finally, I have found a better way to make presentations. It’s freaking awesome.” Yes, I was excited. I was like a 6-year old kid in a candy store.
