What Others Are Saying

"I highly recommend What’s Best Next coaching. Our pastoral team had read the books and the blogs, but there’s something different about the precision that came with personal interaction. James listened carefully, asked clarifying questions, and offered expert advice to help us increase personal productivity and optimize our staff’s teamwork. Six months later, we’re still grateful for the insights we gained from James, which freed us up to do more of what matters and less of what doesn’t."

— Joshua, Pastor, Oswego, IL

"From his attentive listening and understanding to his exceptional business acumen, my What’s Best Next coach has proven to be an excellent resource for anyone looking to improve in their life and business. I’ve had the opportunity to work with him for some time and it’s clear my real estate business and personal management has improved remarkably from his involvement."

— Derek, Real Estate Agent, Wichita, KS

"The 2-HOUR DARE was fantastic. My coach asked great questions and listened intently to my answers. Our conversation, and the follow-up evaluation he sent afterwards, helped me evaluate why I was feeling stuck and unproductive, and helped me envision a path forward. I highly recommend it."

— Jeremy, Executive Director, Columbia, MO

"I’ve been working with a What’s Best Next coach and I’ve been so impressed at his ability to understand my unique situation and help me define my mission and purpose in my work, but also in everyday life. The whole process was thorough and thoughtful—from the initial survey, to the detailed questions my coach asked, followed by his summary of our session. This process has helped me greatly improve in both my personal and professional life by identifying key motivators from a Biblical perspective. I can’t say enough great things about this great coaching opportunity and What’s Best Next as a whole."

— Katie, Project Specialist, Chicago, IL
