At Coach Up Worldwide our mission is to deliver powerful coaching that transforms lives in and outside of the workplace. Furthermore, we are on a mission to make that coaching accessible to more people worldwide.
Coach Up Worldwide believes in people. People are the source of joy, creativity, and purpose. People have the ability to create change, impact lives and elevate those around them. With this in mind we set out to give people from all walks of life; in all industries tools, strategies, and resources they may use to accentuate the abilities they already have and develop those they desire.
What grew from this philosophy was a workplace coaching model for supervisors, general managers and small business owners. One of the birth products of this model was the Coach-Up challenge track form used today by many companies in the United States to replace “Written Warnings” or “Write-Ups”. The idea was to lean away from a progressive discipline mindset and be more developmental in organizational approach.
Once an individual reaches beyond a certain point in their careers a new level of support, accountability, and coaching is needed. This led to our 1-on-1 coaching engagements in leadership coaching, career coaching and life coaching.

Life led to a passion project, Coach-Up Worldwide, where he invented the “Coach-Up” now formally called the Coach Up Challenge Track form used today by many companies to replace “Written Warnings” or “Write-Ups”. The idea was to create a simple tool entry-level supervisors, and managers could use to coach their team to overcome a challenge. This meant leaning away from a progressive discipline mindset and taking a more developmental approach. From this idea, Tim Katsch led a gradual morphing into a Coaching and Recruiting firm.
“My leadership style is customer-focused servant leader who uses coaching, emotional intelligence, and industry best practices to foster deep and meaningful relationships. I believe one of the most important leadership characteristics is the ability to be agile and continually adapt both in your strategic plan and in the way you interact with each person you lead. Everyone is unique, and that uniqueness lays the key to innovation, performance, and workplace happiness.
I believe as Daniel Pink stated in his book Drive, autonomy, mastery, and purpose are the most important motivating factors, and I add best contributors to workplace and career enjoyment. In the knowledge worker industry micro-managing, not investing in your team, and being solely focused on profits have gone the way of the dinosaurs. Leaders recognize the people that are with them can achieve goals independent of “that’s the way it’s always been” or “here is how I want you to do it”.
Leaders invest their thoughts, their time, and their money in up-skilling, coaching, and development. Leaders believe in something that truly gets them out of bed in the morning, they unite teams with individual and common purposes. Leadership is nuanced and ever-changing, but it’s not a unicorn skillset. If we put ourselves in team members’ shoes, if we actively listen and question with curiosity; everyone can lead.”
LEADERS OF TOMORROW WILL ADOPT A COACHING STYLE, HAVE THEIR OWN COACHES AND FOSTER AN ENVIROMENT WHERE A CULTURE CAN GROW
