What is the name of your company?

Thom Shavor Consulting

What type of coaching do you do?

Leadership, Career, Performance, Military

What made you decide to be a coach?

I served for several years in the U.S. Army as a Combat Medic and have over 30 years of experience in Agile, Program, and Project Management, as well as Disease Surveillance and Epidemiology, across various sectors, including Insurance, Energy, Government, and Natural Resources. I have coached throughout my career, but three years ago, I wanted to learn formal coaching techniques. As a result, I was drawn to the ICF because of the strength of its education, rigor, and quality of the certification process.  

Is there anything you would like us to know about you?

In addition to being an ICF-certified Coach (ACC), I'm also a Neurolinguistic Programming Master Practitioner, a Certified Agile Facilitator, and an Agile Trainer based in Nashville, Tennessee. I am currently employed by Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Tennessee as a Senior Agile Coach and Delivery Manager within the Enterprise Information Technology Division. Additionally, I've recently started a Doctoral Program at Louisiana State University, focusing on Healthcare Leadership. My dissertation work will focus on the intersection of Professional Coaching, Business Agility, and Artificial Intelligence.
