Thomas L. Rosenberg is the founder of ReGenerate Coaching, an executive leadership and somatic coaching practice rooted in authenticity, alignment, and deep personal transformation. His journey was not shaped by a straight path—it was radically redirected by a near-fatal bicycle accident that forced him to rebuild his identity, trust his body again, and redefine how he wanted to serve the world.
Humans of Fuzia is featuring Thomas because his work aligns strongly with our global mission of empowering humans—especially women leaders—to step into their full potential with dignity, confidence, and inner clarity. Through his somatic approach, he helps individuals move beyond limiting narratives, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and lead with courage and compassion.
Q: Thomas, what inspired you to start ReGenerate Coaching?
Thomas: The short answer is surviving a near-fatal bicycle accident in 2014. Before that, my leadership style was very cerebral—I came from a medical and scientific family, and I felt pressure to “fit” a certain image of success. Eventually, that boxed-in version of myself stalled my professional growth.
The accident changed everything. I suffered a traumatic brain injury and spent two years learning to trust my brain again. It made me realize that life is too short to live inside someone else’s expectations. I wanted to work with people—not technology—because 80% of change is human-centered.
Coaching became a place where I could finally show up fully, share my gifts, and support others in rediscovering who they truly are.
Q: How would you describe ReGenerate Coaching and what makes it different?
Thomas: ReGenerate is built on somatic coaching—the understanding that the body holds wisdom, patterns, and emotional imprints that shape our behavior.
During my recovery, I worked closely with an osteopath who helped me see that healing is not only physical—it’s emotional, energetic, and embodied. That realization transformed everything about how I support my clients.
Instead of only talking about challenges, we work in the body. For example, if someone has a difficult conversation coming up, we explore what their body does when they think about it—clenching, breath-holding, bracing—and guide them toward awareness, presence, and choice.
Somatic coaching helps clients recognize the wisdom in their bodies so they can lead and live in alignment with their values.
Q: Who do you primarily work with? Is your audience global?
Thomas: Absolutely. Before the pandemic, I could only work with clients within driving distance. Now, I’ve found that 95% of my work can be done online—so yes, I support clients globally.
I describe myself as an executive leadership development coach, but I don’t select clients based on title. Instead, I look for five attributes that create the most successful partnerships:
- Eagerness to grow and learn
- Commitment to practice (somatics requires integration between sessions)
- Curiosity about themselves and others
- Collaboration, because coaching is co-created
- Openness to new approaches beyond traditional leadership training
If these describe you, we may be a strong match—regardless of geography.
Q: Entrepreneurship today is often glamorized. What has been the biggest challenge for you as an entrepreneur?
Thomas: Leaving my comfort zone multiple times a day.
Most of us go into business because we love the work itself—coaching, design, writing, tech, anything. But then we realize we must also build a business. That’s a different skill set.
In my family, marketing and sales were viewed as bragging. So for me, promoting my work felt uncomfortable. I had to rewire that narrative and remember that marketing isn’t bragging—it’s helping people who genuinely need support find you.
Q: And what’s the best part of entrepreneurship for you?
Thomas: The ability to create something that is fully aligned with my values, vision, and purpose.
Entrepreneurship also becomes a vehicle for inner practice—extending into the world while honoring my dignity, my experiences, and my connection with others. It’s deeply fulfilling.
Q: What are your thoughts on women empowerment, especially in leadership and entrepreneurship?
Thomas: We absolutely need more women in leadership—because it shapes a world that works for everyone.
During my Peace Corps training, we did an exercise where men and women in the same village mapped out their community. The maps were completely different. This showed me firsthand how essential diverse perspectives are—especially the feminine perspective, which is underrepresented in global leadership.
In somatics, we talk about the line of dignity—feeling your own dignity so you can honor the dignity of others. Women have carried disproportionate social and cultural burdens for centuries. Empowering women to step fully into leadership is crucial for the well-being of our societies and our planet.
Q: If you had to share one message with our audience, what would it be?
Thomas: Ask yourself:
What brings you back to your authentic self—and how do you know when something is aligned with your vision and values?
If you can extend into the world from your authentic self every day, imagine how powerful that would feel.
