AN INTEGRATED APPROACH

Thrivers Integrated Coaching & Mentoring offers leaders both personal and professional coaching that integrates all aspects of their life including business, community, family, and relationships. Tim is focused on working with leaders over the long arc of their life to partner for growth that can only happen over time. For more information on Coaching and Mentoring please see below. Tim also offers Thrivers Therapy as a licensed therapist which is separate and distinct offering from coaching/mentoring and can find more information at Thrivers Therapy.

UNIQUE BACKGROUND FOR INTEGRATIVE OFFERING

Tim is trained and experienced to go “under the water level,” helping you discover who you really are and how to lead as your truest self. He is a serial entrepreneur who brings over 30 years of experience as an operating CFO with over $1 billion in multiple transactions including Opensite, Appia, iContact and Cherwell. He is an executive with Prudent Growth Partners. He is a licensed therapist in NC, a Certified Health Coach through Duke Medicine, and currently delivers executive coaching at the Carolina Clinic under the UNC Hospital. 

“Tim has a proven track record of success with several exits in the Triangle, two of which, Opensite and Appia, we partnered on together for big wins. He offers leaders the unique know-how to build growing and accelerating, multimillion dollar companies while using his healthcare skills to also consider the importance of life outside of work. Tim helps leaders combine both their business and personal lives into a thriving, integrated and fulfilling story."
“I've been a member of Tim's Integrative Mentoring program for seven years now, and in that time have come to know him as both a trusted advisor and close friend. His thoughtful guidance and wisdom on matters related to both my personal and professional journey have made him an incredible collaborator on helping me write the story I wish to live. Tim's partnership was particularly invaluable in both leading in a larger company like Atlassian through an IPO and recently in navigating my startup to a successful series A with Insight Growth Partners.."
"Tim has been a consistent mentor for me both personally and professionally through some of the most significant transitions in my life. Beyond having tangible business experience supporting my leadership positions at Fleet Feet, American Underground and now Nugget, his counseling and integrative health coaching background shine through as he challenges and encourages me to take a holistic approach when balancing the tensions of scaling a business and the desire to love and lead well in all aspects of life."
“In the Triangle there are a number of mentoring programs to consider but Thrivers has bottled something unique because they are really addressing the entire package of executive needs in their process. The opportunity to hear a broad range of speakers from Steve Nelson, founder and former CEO of Unicorn Carbon Inc. on scaling for growth to Luke Powery, Dean of Duke Chapel,exploring the diversity of spirituality in the work place, has been invaluable.”
I have always valued harmony in my work and personal life. It is rare to meet people like Tim who have achieved business results that most people only dream of, while still honoring their own lives, family and friends. We have worked together for over five years and his willingness to share experiences on living in this interdependent way has supported my desire for optimal business results and a life well lived!
"Tim has provided a unique perspective on the challenges of managing a high growth startup like BombBomb with 130+ people . Whether it is scaling the leadership, mining for conflict, unit economics, or fundraising he partners with us to create company value. As importantly, he has also brought perspective in the integration of my personal story around what matters most in my life."
“The opportunity to work with a coach over the long haul is invaluable. I have worked with Tim for over four years and in that time, we have navigated a startup, its sale to a public company, marriage/family relationships and my spiritual journey. Tim’s expertise with me as a leader and a person through multiple life-lanes is unique and I look forward to our continued collaboration!”
