Testimonials

Julian Placino

“Tomasz is a natural leader with an inspiring life story. The adversities he’s overcome has created remarkable depth and resiliency to his character. It’s because of this, he’s able to speak to audiences with authority and authenticity. I invited Tomasz to speak to one of my audiences about trust, relationships, and networking. He delivered in every way by drawing on his own results and experiences. The attendees walked away with practical strategies and inspiration to take action. I highly recommend Tomasz as a speaker.”

Tomasz did us the honor of speaking to the members of our Women in Leadership group at Dallas Area Rapid Transit. He was on a panel that also included our General Counsel and Labor Relations AVP to discuss the topic of handling difficult conversations. His outside perspective and his negotiation expertise was very valued by our members. He found himself answering many questions because he did such a great job of getting our members to think and look at new ways of approaching situations. Tomasz is the consummate professional and he has a true servant’s heart. He naturally brings out the best in people around him.

“Tomasz continues to give back to the SMU/Cox community as he has guest lectured Negotiations classes on the strategy of networking.  His willingness to mentor students and to help graduating seniors as they transition to the workplace has been exceptional.  Our students especially enjoyed the opportunity for Q&A”“Tomasz continues to give back to the SMU/Cox community as he has guest lectured Negotiations classes on the strategy of networking.  His willingness to mentor students and to help graduating seniors as they transition to the workplace has been exceptional.  Our students especially enjoyed the opportunity for Q&A”

Tomasz Kwiatkowski, fellow alumni of Southern Methodist University’s masters program in Dispute Resolution and Conflict Management, was a guest speaker for my “Understanding Conflict and Resolution Strategies” class. Presenting on the requested topic of cultural competence, his knowledge and expertise enriched the classroom experience. Tomasz offered practical tips, and demonstrated where steps for professional and personal growth are achievable. It was excellent!
