Tom Leegstra is an author, coach and award winning speaker, who deeply believes that the biggest adventure of your life is you. Therefore Tom would rather call himself world explorer, coach and life enthusiast. Tom discovered that the only way to truly change our status quo and to grow into our true self, is to get out of our comfort zone and put ourselves out into new adventures and experiences. The world is a beautiful place, and the best way to see it is to go out and explore our beautiful planet, and ourselves.
Tom grew up in the bustling city of Amsterdam , the Netherlands and from a young age was fortunate to be surrounded by people from different cultural backgrounds. This has made a deep and profound impact on him and has attracted him from a young age to explore people, cultures , countries, and himself. Some of his early memories are those of being invited over to his Indian or Surinamese friends house to eat their food , playing soccer with his Spanish neighbor and getting invited to ‘come out and play’ by his Moroccan neighbors.
His earliest memory of adventure and travel is as a little boy being on an airplane and this left an imprint on him. Looking back in time, this was the start of a life full of adventure. Tom has visited 43 countries and learned that breaking boundaries can’t happen only physically, we must mentally break our own boundaries and set new ones to help us with our own live adventures and to discover the life that is waiting for us beyond our perceived limitations.
Working for a multinational company for years has allowed Tom to travel to many new locations, and to explore its people, cultures, and traditions. Through his adventures, Tom learned how to prepare, plan and get accustomed to new environments, and evolve as a human being. He also has his fair share of roadblocks, and personal hindrances to overcome throughout his journey, that made him who he is today and to help appreciate people's struggles.
In 2011, after going through personal difficulties at life and at work, He claimed his own life journey and took the opportunity to move to Arizona , USA. He used this opportunity to grow , develop and explore himself , and take his life's adventure into new directions. By excavating the layers of the ego, he learned to understand and appreciate himself at a deeper level. This lead him onto a road of self-mastery, with an obsession in becoming the best coach, a motivational speaker, and is a #1 best selling author in an effort to help and inspire others to be their authentic self.
