«Gravity… gravity… it all starts with that dear reader. Have you ever been at an event, where the attendees look at their phones as people speak on stage, droning on until the moment one of the individuals up on it opens their mouth and drags them all into their event horizon? Making them forget all about their LinkedIn feeds, emails, and grocery lists; forcing their heads to raise by sheer force of will and value alone. This is who Thomas Kraft is, an individual who carries their own gravity into the room. One whose turn to speak draws the air out of from their lungs of the audience for a moment, carried by the gravitas of his presence and the value of those words. But Thomas is not only a stern and stable visionary and leader, he is also an extraordinarily kind and understanding person. One who even with all his responsibilities and time commitments can earnestly engage with a random stranger’s desire to learn about his stage presence and manner of public speaking. One who adamantly fosters a sense of comfort in all in his environment so that they may feel like no matter what the situation they may be facing... there’s always a bit of time to be human. The more I learn of and from Thomas, the more I understand the elements that comprise his gravity. It is the balance of duality that makes it all possible. The stern authoritative leadership coupled with creativity and a good sense of humor, the keen analytical mind coupled with creative free-form thinking, the realism coupled with the push for towards greater things. And on top of all of that an incredible business acumen, intellect and finger on the pulse of the technology world… Knowing Thomas is a true privilege, rare is an individual with whom not a single moment is boring or lackluster. My dear reader, should you get caught in his gravity, you will know that my words are not just high praise, they are quite simply not enough to describe who he is in truth. So whether it's an event or if you're lucky a coffee... hear his words and you'll keep them with you forever. (P.S. Sadly nobody at Linkedin thought long enough to add a section for individuals who were mentored by someone... so studied together will have to do as a replacement hahaha)»
