Hey there! I’m Tim Parkins.
I help high-performers reconnect with their work and make it something that works for them.
Work is broken for too many people, and I’m on mission to help people make it better.
The very idea of “work” often makes people cringe, but not because they’re lazy. The modern workplace is misaligned with what many people truly want from life.
This disconnect leads to stress, burnout, and job dissatisfaction. And if you’re miserable at your work, it’s almost impossible to live your best life. It can impact everything in your life, from your health, your relationships, and your desire to wake up in the morning.
I’ve been there, and I know firsthand how damaging it can be to feel stuck in work that doesn’t align with who you are, what you’re interested in, or what you’re good at.
I believe in a crazy idea – work should be something you enjoy doing. When it’s aligned with your strengths, interests, and values, everything changes. My mission is to help you reclaim your career and rediscover the joy in your work. To make work work for you.
If you’re dreading Mondays, counting down the days until your next vacation, or feeling like “you just can’t” anymore, then you’re in the right place.
How I Can Help You
I play 2 critical and complimentary roles to help you transform your career.
Career Coach.
You might be chasing the wrong dream without realizing it.I help you get clarity on what you truly want from your work and the role you’d like it play in your life. Together, we’ll work on:
- Clarifying your career goals. I’ll help you figure out what you want to get from your work and how that fits into your broader life goals.
- Shifting your mindset. Together we’ll uncover the limiting beliefs that are holding you back, and work towards instilling the mindset you’ll need to hit your goals.
- Build personal resilience. I’ll help you develop the attitudes and emotional agility to navigate the challenges of work.
- Accountability. Knowing where you want to go and the next steps to get there is one thing. Then you need to take action. I’ll help keep you on track.
- Navigating change. Change is hard. But it can be easier when you work with someone that’s gone through similar struggles and has come out the other side.
Work Architect.
If you don’t intentionally design your work, someone else will do it for you – and you might not like the result. What you can expect us to work on together:
- Implementing systems. You can’t make progress without having the right systems in place to support your goals.
- Job crafting. We’ll develop the right strategy and approach that will allow you to shift your work to better align with your strengths, interests, and goals.
- Setting boundaries. When you deliver great work, the reward is typically more work. Which means you need to learn how to control how much work you take on.
- Explore alternative work models. The modern world of work unlocks many new models of work. You need ot understand what options you might have, and we’ll explore those together.
- Environment design. You’re shaped more than you realize by the environment you work in. We’ll explore how you might smooth your path to career success by optimizing your environment.
