“I had the privilege of being hired by TD Smyers at United Way of Tarrant County. He is an exceptional leader and truly believes in “team ball” which are his words for supporting his team, respecting their skills and talents and bringing out the best of them by allowing them to do their jobs. Everyone is part of the team. He is adept at working with Boards of Directors and bringing them along to share his vision. The most important lessons I learned from him: to empower your team, seek input from others, be open, allow for mistakes, and move forward by showing your team you trust them. I highly recommend him for executive leadership coaching and team building. ”
