Testimonials
“I am privileged and fortunate that my first experience with a coach was with Jim. He is beyond a coach. A mentor, a friend. For the past four years, Jim has been an invaluable source of insight through some challenging times, always ensuring my focus remains on what truly matters. Jim poses challenging and humbling questions, guiding me towards the answers with a combination of decades of hands-on experience and years of coaching expertise, all complemented by a profoundly human approach”

“Working with Jim has been an invitation to return to myself. In a world that rewards speed, Jim offers stillness. In conversations marked by depth and genuine curiosity, he created space for me to step out of reaction mode and into reflection. That shift—subtle but profound—allowed me to explore not just the decisions in front of me, but the framework behind how I make them. Through our work, I feel more grounded and confident. I trust my own voice more fully. To lead not from expectation, but from conviction. To recognize that clarity isn’t something you chase— it’s something you uncover when you’re brave enough to be still. This experience has shaped me in ways that extend beyond business. It’s touched how I lead, how I parent, how I grow. And for that, I’m deeply grateful.”

Jim Huling is a fantastic person, excellent friend, and a world-class coach. After internally grappling for a long time about my career and profession, I asked Jim for help. The process through which he guided me was nothing short of amazing. With his ability to see through my experiences and help me pick out the things that made up my "blue-print," I was able to make some concrete decisions that have guided me to the path that is exciting and wonderful. Having Jim as a coach is invaluable! I would recommend him, without hesitation, to anyone who would ask.

My coaching with Jim Huling was sensational. I’m still reflecting on the impact of our conversation. He listened with such care and presence- and somehow (I think he's magic) by the end of the time, I felt not only heard but also capable. Jim has a remarkable way of combining wisdom, encouragement, and challenge in a way that lifts you up. He reminded me that the most important thing is action. Coaching like Jim's can be transformative. I’m incredibly grateful for the time and insights and for the renewed energy and confidence!
