WELCOME

I’m Tom James — writer, leader, and curious observer of the natural rhythms that shape our lives. My first book, *Footprint: A Philosophy of Living and Leading Through Change, Inspired by Nature*, is a collection of short stories and reflections drawn from time spent in the Serengeti and years of working with leaders, communities, and creative thinkers. It’s not a guidebook, but an invitation — to see differently, live more intentionally, and consider how the way we move through the world leaves a mark. If you’re navigating change, seeking clarity, or looking for a more meaningful way forward, I hope you’ll explore what *Footprint* has to offer.

Currently, as CEO of Opus Art Supplies, he has helped shape a creative company culture rooted in human connection and natural principles. Drawing from his experiences in organizational transformation, personal growth, and time spent in the Serengeti, Tom invites readers into reflective stories that explore how we live, lead, and evolve. FOOTPRINT is his first book, blending story, philosophy, and the rhythms of nature to help readers navigate change with intention and wisdom.

Real change is happening. It’s by being present, paying attention to the world around us, telling the truth and being open to outcomes that we are able to lead our lives.
