Testimonials

"James has helped me find clarity on my vision and goals and has been there every step of the way, helping me build Redeeming Productivity from a hobby blog into a full business."

"James helped me take abstract goals and translate them into daily actions. Writing can be overwhelming, but with James’ help, I was able to develop a plan to get the project done on time. The biggest strength that James provides is the biblical worldview through which he helps me to prioritize goals. Any other coach can help me set goals, but James actually shepherds me through good, better, and best goals—the best goals always being those which bring glory to God."

"James has changed my life in ways I could not have imagined when I signed up for my introductory call! One of the things I love about coaching with James is that I never have to choose between "productivity" or "Jesus." They are completely enmeshed! I'm more convinced than ever that my productivity ultimately expresses my love for the Lord, a response to the fact that I am perfectly loved."

"I was initially hesitant to sign up for coaching with James, because: 1) I wasn’t sure what coaching is and does; 2) I wanted to know more about his background and experience; 3) the cost of coaching; and 4) having a little bit of the “I-don’t-need-help-I-can-figure-it-out-by-myself” attitude. Now that I’ve been coaching with James, he has helped me tremendously."

"As a solo-preneur who works from home, it’s easy to get distracted by all of the things I need to do. James helped me zone in and take action on some BIG business projects I’d been procrastinating on and/or nibbling at for many, many months. I’m now a whole lot further along, with a clear picture of what I need to do next. I really appreciated the clarity and focus James helped define as we processed all the tangled spaghetti in my brain."

"It’s hard to put into words how incredible my coaching experience with James Parker was. He was thoughtful, professional, and simply excellent in every way. He is so good at helping you see the obvious that you are not seeing. He supercharges with not just clarity, but hope and belief. There is no other experience I have ever done that offered such clarity so quickly."

"James is exceptional at taking ALL the information from me and asking strategic questions that distill down to the essential components that yield the most results. ‍He helps unstuck me so I can direct my strength and power at the things that matter most."

"Since coaching with James, I have gotten more organized, gained clarity on what I should be aiming for, made specific goals for my business, and have started to implement systems to help me reach those goals. It has been a huge help to have someone from the outside looking into my life and business to help me focus on what is important to meet my goals, provide clarity on the right thing to do next, and hold me accountable."

"Coaching with James has given me the ability to look at my current time/work obligations to see if they are something I should continue or discontinue. I am more aware and able to look at “opportunities” that come my way and decide if they are something I should pursue. I appreciate that James does not try to sugarcoat things he thinks I might not want to hear and is willing to ask the tough questions."

"James has helped me make sure I move toward my goals on a weekly basis and I now have more confidence in doing things outside of my comfort zone. He has the ability to use the information I give him to ask me pointed questions to bring clarity so I can decide for myself what the next action should be."

"Before coaching with James, I was concerned he might offer more of a cookie-cutter approach and wouldn’t be granular enough. However, coaching with James has given me clarity on how to reach my goals, as well as the ability to prioritize what is important. I have a clearer pathway to my goals, a more balanced lifestyle, and improved relationships with family."

"I was initially hesitant to coach with James, not knowing if he had the overall knowledge and experience to help me. Since coaching with him, I have gained clarity in terms of what I am and am not capable of doing in regards to specific goals I want to accomplish. I love that he is very positive, encouraging, straightforward, knowledgeable, and that he is a Christian."
