Dr. Tomi White Bryan
Emotional Intelligence world-leading expert and researcher
Dr. Tomi White Bryan is a researcher and tool-builder who has spent 40 years studying extraordinary performance and how our feelings shape it—starting with her own journey.
She created a comprehensive system of emotional evolution that includes assessments, models, and transformative guides.
Her tools are used worldwide to develop emotional intelligence, emotional well-being, and system wholeness by building emotional resilience, emotional balance, and system balance.
Emotional overwhelm is real, and it's sabotaging performance. But it doesn't have to.
The core problem Dr. Bryan solves is emotional drain - the invisible leak of energy, clarity, and capacity that keeps talented people and high-performing organizations from reaching their extraordinary potential.
Her maps and tools unlock sustainable, extraordinary performance for individuals, leaders, teams, and organizations.
Tomi resides with her dear friend and husband, Jim, in Greensboro, North Carolina, in the United States. She finds great joy in going on adventures with her two sons, their families, and friends.

How did I end up here?
I had an emotionally tumultous childhood that kept me underperforming in every area of my life.
I wanted to crack the code on emotional performance but I couldn't find a map or effective tools for doing that.
So I built them.
My maps show you exactly where extraordinary performance is, how to get there, and what actions to take.
Why? Because I don't want you to spend your life looking for extraordinary. I want you to spend it being extraordinary.
A life-long learner who values wisdom.
Dr. Bryan has traveled the world seeking the most efficient and effective solutions to age-old challenges.
