SIGNATURE TOPICS
Making The 1% Shift
(For Business Owners · Senior Leaders · Entrepreneurial Groups)
 In this fast-paced, no-fluff session, I highlight the enemies of growth that keep ambitious leaders from leveling up both at work and at home. Hint: it’s not lack of talent, hard work, or drive—it’s something more subtle and insidious: lack of awareness.
In this talk, I show your audience how to recognize, confront, and defeat the four hidden forces that quietly pull high achievers off course and keep them from gaining traction where it matters most.
The Mindset That Fuels Joy, Resilience, and Results
(For All Humans · Couples · Faith-Based Organizations)
Just as a healthy body generates energy, a healthy mind generates joy.Â
Drawing from my New York Times bestseller The 4:8 Principle, I show audiences how to reframe stress, elevate gratitude, and bring out the best in themselves and those they love. This isn’t feel-good fluff; it’s biblical truth confirmed by neuroscience.Â
For couples, I adapt this talk as “4:8 Your Mate,” a fun, relatable, and practical message that reveals how real-world miracles happen when husband and wife choose to focus on the good stuff.
Now Is the Perfect Time to Reinvent Yourself
(For Anyone Seeking a Fresh Start)
I’ve reinvented myself more than once—personally, professionally, and spiritually—so I know the tension between fear and excitement when change calls your name.Â
In this engaging, fast-paced session, I help audiences uncover blind spots, drop outdated scripts, and trust God to fill in the gaps. If you’ve been playing too small or taking life too seriously, I'll help you reset your mindset and step into the person you were meant to be.Â
Change isn’t just possible—it’s overdue.
Raising Responsible, Confident, and Capable Adults
(For Moms & Dads of Pre-Teens and Teens)
I’ve raised three boys and still have one in college, so I know firsthand how messy, meaningful, and unpredictable the parenting journey can be.Â
In this practical and hope-filled talk, I share the biblical habits and proven principles that helped me—and my clients—cultivate responsibility, character, and resilience in their kids.
You’ll walk away encouraged, equipped, and maybe even a little relieved to know you’re not the only one figuring it out as you go.

TIME TESTED... SINCE 1991
“Tommy's presentation on The 4:8 Principle during Agent Appreciation Day exceeded our already high expectations! Keeping 700 people fully engaged is no easy task, but he nailed it. His energy, humor and authenticity amplified your message, leaving all of us inspired and wanting more.”
MICHELE VELCHECK,
CEO, SOLID SOURCE REALTY
“Tommy’s presentation has staying power. He inspired and engaged our group with clear-cut strategies and practical takeaways for winning in the year ahead. We’ve now brought him in two years in a row and plan to do so again!”
JIM MEEHAN,
JACKSON NATIONAL
“As a young woman (24) working in a men’s sports league, I am always looking for ways to stay motivated, inspired and educated. Today’s event did just that and I will walk away with more tools than I could have anticipated. The program is impactful and I look forward to the next!”
LAURA VESCOVI,
PGA TOUR
“I would have to say that Tommy Newberry was my favorite guest speaker. His demeanor alone would have kept me interested but his speech was fantastic as well. He was very interactive with the class, was super energetic so we didn’t get bored, and made us think about a concept so simple that we overlook everyday.”
STUDENT,
GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY
“An inspirational day of learning! A great road map to take into the future. Incredible ideas to implement.”
JULIE MINEAR,

With the help of my clients spreading the word and the support and expertise of my publishers, these best-selling books have ended up reaching readers all over the world.
