My Story

Grow with Hustle Influence & Motivation

In his youth, Wayne made choices that cost him five years of his freedom. Instead of letting those mistakes define his future, he chose to transform them into stepping stones. Upon his release, he committed himself to education and growth, ultimately earning a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership and Behavior twelve years later.  Today, Wayne is a respected Healthcare Operations professional with more than a decade of experience in strategic business management, budget oversight, team leadership, staff development, health insurance administration, quality metrics, and patient relations. His journey reflects resilience, determination, and the power of self-mastery.  As a coach, Wayne now uses his personal story and professional expertise to help others unlock their own potential. He believes the true battle is within; and his purpose is to guide clients toward discovering their strength, reshaping their mindset, and building lives of purpose, responsibility, and success.

Why do I Coach

As a coach, my role is not to give answers, but to guide each client toward discovering their own truth. I believe my greatest gift is the ability to inspire. My own testimony of overcoming adversity proves that no matter the circumstances, change is possible. Through developing self-awareness and learning how to manage my emotions, I transformed my life into one of purpose and meaning. I changed how I viewed myself and the world around me, and in doing so, I discovered that the greatest battle we fight is within.  Coaching is not just what I do; it is my calling. My purpose on this earth is to help others unlock that same transformation, so they can rise above their challenges, embrace their power, and create a life defined by intention and fulfillment.

Climb the mountain not so the world can see you, but so you can see the world.

Testimonials

Cheryl Maes

I had the pleasure of meeting Wayne Thomas over 20 years ago when he was a young man who was incarcerated in the Youthful Offender System.  Mr. Thomas had made some poor decisions and really had no direction in his life.  Through cognitive re-direction and education Mr.Thomas choose not to let his past dictate his future.  He took advantage of all the opportunities that the Youthful Offender System provided and thus has become a very successful and productive member of society. It is very rewarding as a staff member who worked directly with Mr. Thomas to see that the efforts put into him have paid off.  Mr. Thomas currently has a D.HSc in Leadership and Organizational Behavior and is living the dream as a father and productive citizen in the community.
