. In June 2002, Tom traveled 7,000 miles to conduct a three-day workshop for ADRA Mongolia. Based in the capital city of Ulan Bator, ADRA Mongolia is a development and relief agency with projects in education, food security, health, micro-enterprise, adventure-based learning, and agriculture. At the time of his trip, the organization had nearly quadrupled in size over the past three years and was staffed by 36 Mongolians and a dozen more people from eight other countries. The session was held in an old observatory -- the perfect setting for a group with long-range vision. As the workshop unfolded, four big challenges came into clear view: the rapid growth in organization size, a growing demand for its services, tremendous diversity, and the age-old problem of limited funds. Tom facilitated with a light touch, letting the ideas emerge and take shape while working to build consensus among 48 people from nine nations speaking two different languages.

A three-day workshop in a cross-cultural setting with people from nine countries is no easy task for any person. Yet Tom facilitated in a masterful, considerate manner. It was who Tom is more than what Tom said that really won our hearts and minds: inspirational, down to earth, responsive, simple, sincere, stimulating, optimistic, humorous, and much more. -- Murray E.
