Coaching
Introduction to Coaching
As coaches, Tim and Mark help their clients achieve their goals through gaining clear focus, identifying and overcoming challenges, and seeing and taking the next step forward.
Whereas a consultant or mentor draws from their own experience and expertise to supply solutions and well-worn pathways forward, and a counsellor or therapist helps with remediation from mental or emotional difficulty, a coach accompanies clients in the articulation of the client’s own short- and long-term goals, in trusting and strengthening their own skills, and in finding their own answers and next steps, thus helping them unlock their unique potential.
- Provides thoughtful questions that spur constructive reflection
- Is a sounding board for thoughts and ideas
- Creates an encouraging space for exploring goals and possibilities
This form of partnership is empowering, as it enables coaching clients to gain more control over their own aspirations and journey.
Why choose Tim?
Drawing from two decades of experience in business, Tim has honed his ability to generate perceptive, incisive questions that lead to practical solutions. His own experience as an entrepreneur — ten years and counting — and his work with 100+ businesses and non-profits from a wide-range of industries have made him particularly adept at navigating small enterprise challenges and opportunities.
Tim is always learning (a core component of the healthy mindset strengthened through coaching!). He’s interviewed dozens of successful business leaders through organizing LeaderImpact speaker forums, hosting Business as Calling speaker events, and co-hosting the Doing God’s Business podcast.

Testimonials
"He kicks my ass. Since 2022, he's been offering his insight, Working Genius assessment, and business advice during our monthly 1-on-1 Zoom calls. Tim gives me room when I need time to come to terms with becoming an entrepreneur, but he calls out my excuses and kicks my butt when I'm procrastinating. Tim is creative (and gentle) in guiding me to become someone more than I ever dare imagine."
- Gillian Lo, Owner & Principal Designer of Gillian Lo Design
"I was privileged to have a series of coaching sessions with Tim over the last few months to help me work through some changes in my business. He's a calm, thoughtful coach, and his questions challenged me to think about decisions and next steps more seriously and in more detail than I otherwise would have. Coaching with Tim is like having a friend who wants to see you grow and is ready to give you the tools to move forward toward your goals. He's refreshingly genuine in an age where just about everyone on the internet is trying to sell some "become an overnight success" scheme. If you need a partner to guide you in building a business or thinking through a tough decision, I recommend you get in touch with Tim!"
- Theresa Houghton, Freelance Copywriter
"Tim has been a phenomenal asset to my growing journey as a person, employee, and Christian. What I appreciate most is his gentle yet directed approach in his coaching. He listens intently, follows up with thoughtful questions, and shares observations that both guide the conversation and prompt new pathways for internal reflecting. I always felt free to share as much or as little as I needed, and Tim remained flexible to whatever I wanted to process in a given session. Tim has been a safe sounding board where I am able to come to many insightful conclusions myself. I would highly recommend working with Tim! Committing to a longer stretch of sessions with him also gives you the space and pacing needed to make progress on a concrete goal or journey through a season of particular discernment."
- Andrew Lee, Developer at Dayspring Technologies
"Tim has a huge heart for helping people discover their calling in life and finding purpose in their career. Tim is genuine, approachable, and wise in the way he coaches and serves his clients, and I'm so honoured to have him as my business coach and mentor."
