“In a relatively short amount of time I have been able to capture insights from the entirety of my life and translate them into a more clear strategy. Not only have I gained a better understanding to navigate through life but I have also slowly learned how to aid others in similar situations. All of this could not have been done without the guidance and coaching of Tim. He has the unique and powerful gift of being able to see the patterns and connections that underlie our motivations, fears, desires etc and then translate those into action. I am very thankful to have Tim as a resource in my life.”

“Tim has been a great listener and effective in helping me identify focus areas for personal growth and change. I have been surprised at the profound insights that emerged for me as Tim’s skills guided the coaching process. I recommend Tim highly as a Life Coach and Transitions Coach.”

“I completed sessions with Tim while I was serving and teaching overseas. I was finishing my first year of teaching and seeking direction if teaching was the right career for me to continue in and wanted to discover what my strengths and passions were. The exercises Tim had me complete were very helpful and provided me with insight into my personality that I had not identified before. At a time when I was very discouraged Tim saw strengths in me and helped to call those out and really encouraged me in the ways God had made me. He provided exercises, activities and asked thought provoking questions that made me consider my values and helped me identify things I am passionate about. I really appreciated how easy Tim was to talk to, his openess and friendliness, how he made me feel important and valued, and how the sessions were centered around God and that prayer was included. I think Tim has a gift of valuing people, seeing them how God does, and being able recognize and call out strengths in them. I still think about things I discovered in these sessions and use them when making life decisions. I am very thankful for the time Tim spent meeting with me and would recommend him to anyone!”

“I worked with Tim Austin in 2013 for 9 months. I was definitely in a transition phase, having returned to the USA from 27 years of living abroad full time all the time. Before working with Tim, I had attended a few in-person coaching sessions - ‘meet-up’ style. While these sessions were interesting and useful for the secular world of business and racing to the top, something was missing. I needed a spiritual dimension to my process. Tim brought this necessary dimension to my journey. We worked through a series of exercises that helped me identify scriptural foundations which grounded me and provided me with purpose.
Tim’s interpersonal manner is authentic and engaging. There is none of the dreaded “rah rah, go for it” style that can be off-putting. Tim’s own witness on challenges in his life and work helped to build an empathic atmosphere for our sessions.
To this day, I often return to the work I did with Tim to keep me focused when I begin to drift again. The concepts I developed for myself with his guidance are rich and timeless. ”

“My wife and I met with Tim regularly during a huge life transition. We had just moved to a new country, pursuing a new career, and preparing for our first child. Based on his own experience from navigating many life transitions, Tim has great understanding and clear thinking to help you process the numerous emotions, thoughts, and changes you are experiencing during big transitions. Tim is so encouraging, insightful, and a great listener who truly cares about the challenges you are facing. Tim’s coaching and friendship have been invaluable to me as we have navigated the mountains and valleys of transition. ”

“My family and I were in one of the biggest transitions of our lives. Moving to a new country with a new born baby and a relatively new marriage brought many new stresses and learning curves to my life. Going through transition coaching with Tim helped my wife and me to face and adapt to the new expectations and schedules with greater wisdom and confidence. Tim was great at listening and giving valuable feedback when I needed it most. Tim’s coaching was vital to making my transition a success. He provided me with the tools I needed to not just survive a hard transition but to grow and thrive through it.”

“At a time in my life, when things were feeling out of control, life coaching with Tim helped me to refocus on what was most important in my life. I established goals for the areas where I was feeling as if I had failed or was drowning in responsibilities and expectations that I couldn’t seem to meet. In only a few months time, I was feeling successful and that I was finally swimming above water and no longer drowning! From fitness to finances to job responsibilities and my spiritual life, life coaching helped me to get back on track and feel motivated to move forward and passionate in moving forward in each area.”

“Impacting lives has been a pursuit of mine for decades now. I’ve been in many leadership and ministry roles. With all the skills and experience I’ve accumulated through the years in thinking for & helping others, I’ve still found the need for a wise voice and sounding board for my own life, thoughts, and responsibilities. Over the past few months some significant changes have occurred in my life & family that have proven to be pretty overwhelming. Tim has been there to help me clarify my own needs as well as those of others I love & serve. He came alongside me with timely & insightful questions, perspectives, and a partnering-pursuit as I put my ideas into action. His process of coaching me while I own my own direction and goals has wrought significant positive changes and progress for me and my family. I see the value of Tim’s approach not only in times of significant challenge, but in the everyday context of life itself. I’m grateful for Tim’s care and skill as a life-coach and would recommend this process and his coaching for anyone, especially those who lead others.”

“When I started life coaching, I did not know what is really was. But I did know that I wanted to see change in some parts of my life (specifically my language growth). I did know that I wanted someone who was experienced in living overseas and understood my life situation. I did know I wanted someone who had a heart to speak into my issues with grace and love and biblical truth. So with those ideas I began a coaching relationship with Tim. It was during this along with the support of my husband and friends, that God provided growth for me specifically in my language learning, which had seen very slow and little growth for years. I thank God for the love, advice, care, skills and insight I learned from Tim. From this time of focus on change in one area of my life (language) I have seen myself grow in other areas too: confidence, thankfulness, competence, forgiveness, and less-shame and the ability to plan and implement action steps and goals into my life.”

““Tim really helped us navigate a difficult transition overseas in the middle of the pandemic. From knowing what things we could do to leave well and arrive well (given lockdown situations), to understanding how we have different styles and paces in dealing with change, to learning how to leverage our strengths, Tim was encouraging, supportive and flexible.””
