what they’re saying about tom donato.

coaching successes

  • Sheridan rose shaw (muma west)

    Had a really powerful session with Tom to work out delegating tasks after employing a manager for the first time. Whilst he was the mentor he was also able to highlight my strengths and the things I was doing really well which gave me confidence in him and in myself. I’ve admired tom for years because of the culture he has created and the rising star hairdressers he raised in the industry so it was an absolute no brainer to work with him.

  • MICHAEL KELLY - (SALON HER)

    Working with Tom Donato as a business mentor & coach it is not only a privilege but it is also a pleasure.

    Tom’s tenure in the industry really is unparalleled and working closely with him across the outcomes of my goals and needs was really fast tracked because of this.

    Whether i was looking at financials & profitability trackers or introducing performance structures and processes across community and people, Tom was able to come to the table with all of what I needed and always with such care, grace and ease.

    Tom’s a real champion, not only in his own right as a business figure but also as a human. A long relationship has been forged here and a relationship I feel very blessed to have.

    If you’re thinking you need some help and guidance then you probably do. Look no further than Tom !

    His honesty integrity and instinctive approach gave me full confidence in choosing TOM DONATO COACHING for my needs
