About This Website

99% of my films feature a company's best storytellers; their people. For 25 years, my mini-documentary films focuses on capturing the "heart and soul" of organizations.

I started this site to help communications professionals produce their most authentic, emotional and inspiring company video possible.

About Thomas Clifford

If you got here from my Twitter profile, thanks for stopping by!

That's me...the guy with the beret. :-) I'm the one behind this blog.

About Me

I "breathe life" into the stories of non-profits and large organizations by capturing their "heart and soul" on video through their people.

People say I "breathe life" into their company stories.

That's because 99% of my films feature people at the heart of their film.

From employees and executives to customers or volunteers of organizations, it's the people who have the stories and carry the passion.

My role is to catch that passion and share it with others. Ultimately, to make a positive difference in people's lives.

What to Expect if You Follow Me on Twitter

I have lots of passions in life and Twitter allows me to share them with a larger community outside of this blog.

My "80-20" Twitter Engagement Formula:

Twit-Lift (80%) I love lifting and helping others reach their goals. Re-tweeting other's tweets and sharing what I've learned with my community allows me to continue that practice.

Twit-Chat (20%) The rest of my "Tweet Time" is sharing my many passions in life!

What do I tweet about?

At heart, I'm a Quantum Activist. "Quantum Activism is the idea of transforming ourselves and our societies in accordance with the transforming messages of quantum physics and the new paradigm." Amit Goswami, theoretical quantum physicist

  • The Beatles (Yup. I'm a huge fan!)
  • Rock 'n' roll (Classic British Invasion stuff to emerging alt rock bands.)
  • Communication Theories Media guru/audio genius Tony Schwartz developed "The Resonance Principle" which is driving my thinking in new directions.
  • Storytelling
  • Social media
  • My Spiritual Teachers Over the past 30+ years, I've been fortunate to spend time with these amazing mystics: Swami Satchidananda, Yogi Bhajan, Swami Dayananda (Bede Griffiths), Deepak Chopra and others.
  • Eastern Wisdom
  • Meditation Particularly Primordial Sound Meditation, taught by The Chopra Center.
  • Organic foods
  • Metaphysics
  • Quantum Activism I believe the science and superstition of materialism is crumbling to a new primacy of consciousness; the unlimited potential of consciousness is the ground of all being to help us lead better lives. Start by asking yourself: “What are you doing to participate in the creation of the reality we all share?"
  • Documentaries
  • Six word stories
  • Mountain biking and road biking

I'm also featured in a pretty cool eBook about Twitter: "The Twitter Survival Guide: How to Use Twitter to Make Friends, Get a Job, Sell Your Brand and Have Fun."
