Chris Thomson is the Head Coach for the Student Works Management Program, an immersive development opportunity for full-time students to learn the practical skills necessary for business leadership. They apply those skills by operating their own home services business under the Student Works banner - everything from painting, cleaning, and whatever else their customers need - over the summer break.

But really, Chris is in the business of identifying & developing the next generation of business leaders. With an ambitious goal to develop 1000 millionaires, Chris believes the time has never been better to run your own business.

I’m inclined to agree.

The days of iron-clad job security in large corporate entities is over. The world is changing, and while the successful enterprises will pivot & succeed, many won’t. And they have a lot to learn from entrepreneurial ventures like Student Works Management.

They’re a coaching organization first. Discussions around integrity, performance & service are commonplace, though not only in an employment context. Chris believes how you show up with your friends, family & colleagues is of equal importance.

He’s right. And his program is developing leaders of tomorrow with a clear understanding of the leadership principles necessary for success.

We had a great discussion; about his journey to Student Works, what he’s learned in the past 30 years in that organization, and what he envisions along the road ahead - for him, his business, though most importantly, the network of young leaders who look to him for guidance, support & mentorship.
