Coaching Mission International

Tim enjoyed 20 years of cross-cultural living, in the countries of Tajikistan and Turkey, mostly involved in church-based and NGO ministry. Tim is a graduate of CMI’s 2017 Professional Coach Training. He began coaching global workers while still living abroad, supporting and developing individuals and teams and knows first-hand the many sets of challenges which expats face. From major transitions, cultural adaptation and language learning, to the daily struggles of living out one’s purpose in a different context. Tim finds joy in coming alongside and helping people maximize opportunities for growth while living and serving abroad. Within CMI, he has found a place to live out his purpose and calling as a Coach and Trainer.
