Testimonials

BECA LEWIS

"What you will love about working with Tim is not only his openness, transparency, and unyielding honesty but also the kindness and wisdom he infuses into everything he does. He asks just the right questions, which yield multiple ah-ha moments while giving you the tools and understanding to do something with them. He makes me feel as if my success is his success, whatever that might be for me. It’s a rare gift that anyone who works with him treasures."

LILY ANN FOUTS

"I've been increasingly frustrated with my job and wanting to start my own thing, but have been a little too nervous to let go of the "reliability" of my work. In my 6-week mastermind program with Tim and my fellow mastermind members, I was able to see that I'll be more fulfilled following my own dream than someone else's, and decided on a plan and a deadline for stepping down from my job and directing that energy into my own thing, knowing I have the skills and resources to do so. I was also able to apply insights for other members of the cohort to areas of my own life, and the AI-enhanced summary and recommendations along with the replay at the end of each week were super helpful to go back and review. I recently had a good talk with my boss, handed in my resignation, and I'm excited for what's next. Thanks, Tim!"

TRUDI ROTH

"What I love about working with Tim is that he is perhaps the most thoughtful and thought-provoking person I know. To help me (finally!) tackle something that I've been struggling with for years, he provided an incredibly clear series of questions to prepare ahead of time for discussion and allowed me the latitude to address what resonated most. During the discussion, he was such an active listener who used the info he took in to ask insightful questions that it ultimately led to more than one "aha" moment. The guidance Tim provided was at once personal and professional, and it made me feel safe and supported, seen and heard as I explored the best way forward for me and a project I care deeply about."
