"I can’t imagine a better person than James to walk THIS journey with you!...He gave me clarity like never before...He has this uncanny ability to listen to me ramble for ten minutes and then nail me with a single question or statement that leads to a breakthrough."

"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.
James has helped me understand that every hour of my life matters to God. He gave me clarity like never before as we talked about what stewardship looks like in all the domains of my life. There was so much I hadn’t thought about before! There was a gut-level accountability that was painfully revealing at times, but it was always worth it. The result was that I believe more than ever that God has a purpose for every day of my life and will give me everything I need to fulfill it, moment by moment.
I had done some homework on productivity before coaching with James, but I often struggled to make headway on much of anything—and I didn’t understand why! James goes beyond what books and online courses can do: He gets to know me and how God made me. He has this uncanny ability to listen to me ramble for ten minutes and then nail me with a single question or statement that leads to a breakthrough. It’s great to feel like I don’t have to sort myself out before meeting with him because I can trust his guidance and ability to get to the root issues. Multiple times after a coaching session, I’ve thought, “Wow, that wasn't the conversation I thought I needed...but somehow he figured out that's what I needed and got me there.”
As a woman, I’ve deeply appreciated how seriously James takes me. He is more concerned about helping me honor God's calling on my life than putting me in a “box.” When it felt like no one took my vocational desires and hopes seriously, James did—so much that he even held me accountable to them! At the same time, James is sensitive and deeply kind in the sessions (you can tell he has had counseling training). He has an excellent balance of tenderness, accountability, and life-giving encouragement.
The results of coaching have been, well, pretty spectacular. Since working with James, I have a daily schedule and a morning routine…for the first time in my life! My work and spiritual life are much more integrated—and bring me so much more joy and fulfillment. I am doing more of the type of work I love than ever before! I am more productive, more rested, and more at peace with where I am in my life and where I’m going than I have ever been.
There is nothing like striving to be a faithful, productive steward unto the Lord…and I can’t imagine a better person than James to walk that journey with you!"
