Join Bill and his guest, Tom Keppeler. Tom is the founder of Obsidian Comms | Content | Coaching. Tom is a strategist, storyteller, and coach who helps leaders communicate with clarity, confidence, and consciousness. With more than 25 years of experience in brand strategy, executive communications, and public relations, he’s worked across sectors — from healthcare and technology to nonprofit advocacy and education — guiding leaders and organizations to articulate their purpose and build trust through authentic expression.

At the heart of Tom’s work is a belief that communication is a personal practice — a bridge between inner truth and outer impact. His approach combines the precision of strategic messaging with the depth of somatic awareness, helping clients align their words, body, and intention. Through one-on-one coaching, storytelling workshops, and content creation, Tom helps leaders speak from the body rather than the mask — integrating intellect, emotion, and presence so that their message truly lands.
