I began the coaching process during a peak of multiple crises. Tim helped me learn how to make space in my mind, to make room for examination and analysis of my problems and thereby find the road to solutions. Needless to say, I highly recommend Tim Tosta.

What could Tim, a real estate attorney, tell me that would help me achieve my professional goals? Well, as it turned out, not much. Better yet, he helped me tell myself. In fact, he first had me step back and question and rationalize the very goals I had set in the first place. The result: a bottom up analysis of what was important to me and how to identify goals and the means to achieve those goals.

I was always busy, yet I felt like I was constantly letting people down, including myself. Tim is a great coach not because he gave me the answers, but because he provided me with the tools to discover them for myself. That change of perspective allowed me to became a better friend, partner, family member, co-worker and a much happier person.

I had heard of executive coaching but I had no idea how practical it could be nor how quickly I would see results. The most important benefit I received from Tim’s coaching sessions was literally learning certain daily activities that I must absolutely do to perform at my optimum level. I put forth my best effort and got out of my way and out of my comfort level. And having Tim hold me accountable made an enormous difference. Tim inspired me, I exceeded my goals and expectations.
