Guiding Transformations and Building Resilient, Purposeful Lives

“In the place where I’m being tested, will I become better—or will I become bitter and resentful?” ~ Fr. Mike Schmitz

Tim is a Certified Professional Coach (CPC) who helps individuals (18+) navigate life’s pivotal moments with clarity, structure, and confidence. Whether someone is deciding their next step after high school or college, considering a career change, striving to live more intentionally, or preparing for a major life transition, Tim provides practical guidance to help clients move forward with purpose.

Life coaching with Tim is a collaborative and forward-focused process. Through structured conversations and practical tools, he helps clients clarify their values, identify their strengths, and create realistic plans for the future. In a world that can feel noisy, fast-paced, and full of competing expectations, Tim helps people slow down, cut through distractions, and focus on what truly matters.

Tim works with a wide range of individuals, including young adults seeking direction and confidence as they begin their adult lives, high-achieving professionals looking to bring greater efficiency, balance, and intention to their work and personal lives, and older adults navigating meaningful transitions in later stages of life. Drawing from extensive life experience and strong leadership skills, Tim brings a thoughtful and organized approach that helps clients turn ideas into clear and achievable action steps.

Tim’s diverse professional background shapes his coaching perspective. He holds two skilled trades licenses, served in local government, and spent more than 16 years in post-acute rehabilitation, including seven years as an Area Director overseeing vocational rehabilitation, adult day programs, and facilities operations. During that time, he also served as President of the Michigan Brain Injury Provider Council and the Coalition Protecting Auto No-Fault which are two statewide organizations dedicated to protecting the rights and benefits of auto insurance policyholders, individuals injured in motor vehicle accidents, and the providers who support their recovery.

Recognizing that true success goes beyond professional achievement, Tim emphasizes the importance of building a life that feels meaningful and aligned with one’s values. Through personalized coaching sessions, clients cultivate resilience, strengthen decision-making skills, and develop the fortitude needed to stay grounded in who they are, even when facing external pressures.

Tim’s mission is to guide people through transitions with honesty, clarity, and practical support. By combining empathy, strategic thinking, and straightforward encouragement, he helps clients unlock their potential, navigate change with confidence, and build lives marked by authenticity, purpose, and self-worth.

Life Coaching vs. Therapy

Life coaching is a forward-focused, goal-oriented process that helps individuals clarify their direction, strengthen decision-making, and take practical steps toward the future they want to build. While therapy often focuses on healing past experiences and treating mental health conditions, life coaching focuses on personal growth, accountability, and creating actionable plans for the future.

Many people choose life coaching when they:

• Feel stuck or uncertain about their next step

• Want clarity around career, education, or life direction

• Are navigating a transition or major life decision

• Are high-performing but want greater efficiency, balance, or purpose

Life coaching can also complement therapy by helping individuals translate insight into concrete goals and action.
