Keynote Speaker for Live and Virtual Events
Inspire and empower teams to activate their Code to lead with the power of purpose
Using an interactive livestream the methodology addresses the key challenges facing organizations right now: how to re-instill a culture of common values, and inspire and re-engage work-at-home teams to lead with renewed purpose and commitment through uncertainty. The results are transformational. Purpose is a powerful force, but many people perceive it as an ethereal concept – difficult to define. The Code is a simple method to reset after this time of disruption and re-define one’s purpose. The program accomplishes two goals: it deeply connects individuals to one another and re-engages teams with their true purpose to activate the commitment required to catch the next wave.

Shaun inspired our partners and team members in a very unique and exciting way through his life lessons and introducing us to the Surfer's Code. I would highly recommend Shaun for any event where you want to strongly motivate your customers, partners or team members.


Shaun Tomson shared a powerful message in his keynote and workshop with our Talent Acquisition and Talent, Development & Inclusion teams working remotely across the globe: ‘What is our Code and what is our purpose?’ Shaun showed how we can we all use the power of purpose to drive forward through this uncertain time. Thanks Shaun for the incredibly moving and important messages and tools you shared with us. I’ve continued to hear fantastic feedback from the team!


Shaun's contribution was amazingly inspirational and captivating - left the 600+ audience speechless. One of the best, if not the best, speech in all the 10 years of the RSM Leadership Summit.

The Code: The Power of "I Will"
The power of affirming “I Will” as a set of 12 promises and stating them out loud before one’s team deepens personal accountability, creates emotional connectivity, helps activate internal strength to combat despair, and turns hope into measurable actions.
