I really enjoyed my time working with Tyler. He was extremely easy to talk to and created a comfortable space where I felt heard and understood. Through our conversations, he guided me through a process that helped me identify what truly matters most in my life. I realized I wasn’t spending enough time on the things I value, and with his support, we were able to create a clear path forward—one that allows me to focus more on what brings me joy and fulfillment.

Identifying what truly matters most in life is essential, and something most people do not do. With that as your true north, you have direction. It was a pleasure working with you and remember we are all in this together!

Working with Tyler has helped me uncover and overcome the self imposed distractions I have placed along the way in life that have slowed me down from living my true purpose in life. Tyler has helped me redefine and reshape a direction for me that is aligned with what I feel is my life’s purpose. I am confident that I can wake up every day and know that I’m on the right path. Tyler has been a pleasure to work with and would strongly recommend his coaching to anyone looking to make positive changes in their life. More...

It has been a privilege working with you, Mike. I am so glad to hear you feel connected in your life's purpose. I find it inspiring and it solidifies my belief that we are all in this together!

I had lost my sense of direction when trying to adjust to single life and a recent move. Originally thought family and a diverse group of people would ease the transition. Much to my chagrin, I continued to flounder causing me angst. Tyler’s honest feedback and different perspectives helped me to get back on track. His understanding of my values along with his planning strategies will continue helping me achieve what I want in life. More...

It is an honor to work with you Joan. Your strength and courage inspire me. You help me too! I look forward to continuing to uncover what is important to you in life and then work towards that.

It was great working with Tyler. His relaxing yet engaged demeanor put me at ease in our coaching sessions. Also, his structured approach to helping me work through and address my goals was effective and easy to follow. I would highly recommend him as a coach to others. Thanks Tyler!

It was an honor to work with you Chris. I am impressed with your diverse set of interests and talents and have no doubt you will continue accomplishing great things!

I am happy to comment on my experience as a “coachee” for Tyler Haling’s Life Coaching. Tyler coached me for five sessions, focusing on my transition to Florida, where I reside for six months every November through May as a “snowbird”.
Although this sounds like an easy thing to do (escaping winter), I find annual “reentry” into a very socially active 55+ community to be fraught with “should do's”. This is the type of community that is small enough for everyone to play a role, contributing one’s gifts and talents to the community, to make the experience for “the whole” so much more enriching. I do believe that living in a socially active environment is good for me, but it takes some time management and the ability to say, "No", to enjoy living in community in a healthy way.

First, Tyler led me to two questions:
What is the impact that a certain obligation has on me?
How is the obligation serving me, or how is it not serving me?
I found these questions to be very helpful in deciding whether or not to continue with certain activities. By simply picking an activity or obligation apart, I learned that these opportunities are quite complex, resulting in equal amounts of benefit and deficit. It became necessary to reduce my time with some obligations or leadership roles, and to be assertive enough to communicate this. This decision freed up some time for me to pursue new goals that had been waiting in the wings, and to recognize that all of these goals, new or old, take a lot of time and energy.

Next we focused on the discipline and tedious work lying behind these new goals and designed smaller stepping stones to reach them. Through brainstorming with Tyler, I could make these stepping stones more meaningful if I chose to, with a little mindfulness and imagination.

Next we focused our attention on core values. This began with a free-write which I enjoyed. I discovered in this exercise that I have high standards about the character of people whom I associate with. The value of creativity and “flow” ranked high on my priority list, and through Tyler’s follow-up questions we made an important connection between creative “flow” and my overall wellbeing. In short, my best times are when I am “making stuff”.

We talked a lot about proficiency and why this is important to me, not to the degree that the work becomes punitive, but allowing for another core value of “play” to lighten the mental and physical load.

It is now a few months past our sessions together and in writing this reflection, I find it is hard still to not say, "yes", to every invitation to oblige the wants of others at the sacrifice of my own. It is helpful to have my notes, to revisit my core values and introductory coaching questions for an occasional re-boot. I know too that I can pick back up with Tyler for more sessions if needed.

I highly recommend Life Coaching for anyone in the midst of transitions or life changes, and I believe that Tyler’s gentle disposition, skill set in coaching, and ability to focus on the conversation/task at hand is very valuable.
