Cover of a book titled "The Power of and" by Jeff Thomas, published by Field and Forge Press. The subtitle reads "Reclaiming Leadership in a World Addicted to Either/Or." The cover features overlapping blue circles.

The Power of And explores how leaders move beyond false binaries and learn to hold competing truths without collapsing into either/or thinking.

This book is not about being agreeable.
It is about clarity, standards, empathy, and presence under pressure.

What this site is

CoachJeffThomas.com is the home of leadership frameworks, tools, and writing developed through years of coaching, teaching, and leading under pressure.

The work here is built for moments when certainty is tempting, but clarity requires restraint.

Digital Companion

The Digital Companion is a growing library of leadership tools referenced throughout The Power of And.

These frameworks are designed to help leaders slow down, name tension clearly, and respond with intention rather than reaction. They are not theoretical models. They are practical tools meant to be used in real moments of pressure.

Each resource is simple, printable, and built for clarity over cleverness.
