I’m Tom Johnston, Founder and CEO of Talent Optimizer Group. I’m on a mission to help people lead with compassion and create people-first organizations equipped to adapt and thrive in today’s ever-changing business climate. As a Bloom Growth Coach specializing in Health, Active Lifestyle, and Outdoors Sector (HALO), I’m an implementation partner for Founders and CEOs ensuring transformation becomes organizational DNA. I blend Bloom Growth OS with The Predictive Index, combining people science to cultivate talent, inspire teams, and build powerful human-centered cultures.
My work delivers measurable impact. With Club16 Trevor Linden Fitness, we saved over $2.2 million in turnover costs and increased EBITDA by 12%, and boosted team adoption of new systems, all while transforming their culture into one where employees became genuinely invested in each other’s success. This wasn’t just consulting; it was systematic transformation that stuck.
With over two decades in global corporations as an operations executive, I’ve held C-suite roles including VP of North America for Core Health and Fitness, COO of American Leisure (acquired by FirstService FSV), and VP of Operations for Saw Mill Sports Management. I hold a B.S. in Business Administration and certifications as PI Certified Partner, xchange Certificated Guide, and Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner. I’m a husband, dad, and grandfather, living the dream in Longmont, Colorado, enjoying cycling, skiing, hiking, yoga.
Let’s unlock your trapped potential.
