Before I received coaching from Laura at A Little Coaching, I was struggling to balance my life…read more I felt like I couldn't keep up with all of my responsibilities and as a result of feeling overwhelmed, I wasn't tackling anything head on. With the help of Laura, I've been tackling the different challenges in my life one at a time. Now, I not only feel more in control of my life than ever before, I have a freedom that I've never experienced, the confidence to face whatever challenges come my way, as well as the courage to start living the life I've always dreamed about. Laura is a tremendous coach, and I value the time she has spent helping me more than I can possibly express. Do yourself a favor and give A Little Coaching a try! You will be so happy you did!!

I made my appointment in mid-March to crunch the numbers in preparation for retirement and was…read morequite happy with the assistance offered. My retirement specialist ran through several potential retirement dates to ensure I could receive my maximum benefit at the earliest possible time, which I had assumed would have been a month later. This she had prepared in advance along with additional information in the event I elected to postpone retiring for another year ("No way!" :D). She was both pleasant and knowledgeable on the various options dealing with the finer points of retirement paperwork (mostly spousal percentage options and beneficiary stuff). She also ensured all information was up-to-date; after all, much of the original information (residence, phone number, etc.) on my paperwork was from almost three decades ago when I started in the profession. The CalSTRS office is on the second floor of a large building near downtown Riverside next to the 91 Freeway but, thankfully, not in the heart of downtown. It contains ample underground parking and, though parking fees are posted as you enter the structure, parking for those visiting the CalSTRS office is validated at the reception desk - another appreciated money-saver. The office lobby also has a small "work" area off to the side so those desiring to complete/amend the various forms necessary for submission don't need to return with completed paperwork at a later time. (You will need to submit several forms for processing in Sacramento). Since I was traveling from L.A. County, this was extremely useful in allowing me to avoid an extra trip while feeling more comfortable with a hand-to-hand submission of most of my forms (in place of sending paperwork directly up north through the mail). The receptionist who took my completed paperwork who is also a retirement specialist - they share "lobby duties" - made sure all was in order and fully completed to avert having anything "kicked back" for lack of checked boxes, incomplete information, or missing signatures. (I did have a few). What can I say? The entire process was stress free and relatively quick. If you're ready to retire, schedule your own appointment and go see them; retirement awaits! Thanks to all the Riverside CalSTRS staff for their assistance!

I've attended many seminars and trainings from well-known speakers and coaches over the years, but Tim's approach is different. It wasn't just coaching--it felt like real healing. He helped me look at my past failures, disappointments, and resentments from a completely new perspective. Instead of seeing them as burdens, he helped me realize they were actually part of what shaped me into the person I am today. For the first time, I felt genuine gratitude for experiences I had spent years wishing never happened. That shift alone was incredibly powerful. I left the session feeling lighter, more at peace, and more hopeful about the future. I'm genuinely excited for my next session and to continue this journey of growth and healing.
