About
Tim Steffen
Business and life coach, founder of Timothy Steffen Consulting, LLC, and a professional who has spent his career in rooms where people make decisions about their work and their lives.
Background
Tim Steffen founded Timothy Steffen Consulting, LLC in December 2018. Before founding the firm, he spent 8.5 years in recruitment and development — work that is, at its core, about understanding what people are capable of, where they fit, and what they need to grow into the next role.
That background shapes how he coaches today. Coaching clients work with Tim one-on-one, by phone, from anywhere in the country. His work covers business and career coaching for professionals, and life coaching for the parts of a life that a job title does not describe.
Speaking and teaching are part of the work as well: Tim is a business coach who speaks for a living, regularly presenting and teaching the material he coaches on.

What coaching is — and is not
Coaching is a working conversation about goals, decisions, and follow-through. It is practical, forward-looking, and built around accountability: what you decided, what you did, and what comes next.
Tim is not a licensed therapist or counselor, and coaching is not licensed therapy or counseling. Life coaching does not require a license, and it is offered here plainly as coaching. If what you need is mental-health treatment, the right next step is a licensed professional, not a coach.
