ABOUT TIM ALLSTON
Leadership Rooted in Humility, Growth & Purpose
Tim Allston is a leadership strategist, author, speaker, and recovering “ego-holic” whose life’s work focuses on empowering emerging leaders to lead with humility, clarity, and purpose.
Since 1977, he has served across multiple industries, including higher education, public relations, marketing, customer service, and communications. Throughout his career, he has received recognition for excellence in marketing/public relations, higher education administration, and customer service retention.
However, Tim believes his greatest calling emerged through a spiritual awakening that led him to identify and confront what he terms “ego-holism” — an unhealthy addiction to self that impacts leadership, relationships, organizations, and personal growth.
As the creator of the Ego-holism Recovering framework and the developing EMC² leadership concept, Tim now dedicates his platform to helping leaders transform challenges into growth opportunities while equipping others to lead effectively from the middle with servant-hearted influence, resilience, and authenticity.
