in a Human Way

Learn how to articulate and scale your unique industry POV through clear, concise & compelling stories designed to drive results for you & your organization.

Hi, I'm Tom Burke.

I'm a speech-language pathologist, executive speaker coach helping tech execs talk about technology in human, creative and inspiring ways.

My work in human communication draws from coaching clients on the complete other end of the spectrum: the performing arts. In addition to working with the likes of Google, McKinsey, Servicenow, Hubspot et al, I'm honored to have been been featured on HBO, MTV, the Oprah Winfrey Network, Good Morning America, and recently as the co-host and voice coach for Bravo TV's "In a Man's World"  a social experiment produced by Viola Davis designed to reveal gender inequities in the workplace and at home.

This site is focused on my speaker coaching programs. For information on my singing program or Estill Voice related programs, click here.
