Know yourself.
Know others.
Know success.
In a world full of choices, clarity is a gift. Timshel pairs the research-backed Highlands Ability Battery with personal coaching to help students, athletes, and adults make confident, intentional decisions about what comes next.
A decade of work with young men, distilled into one practice.
I’m Benjie Colberg. I spent nine years at Christ School in Asheville — teaching, coaching, serving on the senior leadership team and as Dean of Campus Life. The single most useful thing I did in that decade was put the Highlands Ability Battery in front of students who didn’t yet have the language to describe how they were wired. Timshel exists to do that work full-time.
Three ways to begin.
Most clients start with the Highlands Ability Battery and decide from there. Some never need anything else. Others use it as the doorway to longer coaching or a group engagement.
Highlands Ability Battery & Consultation
Measure 14 natural abilities, 3 personal styles, and 1 core skill. Then sit down for two hours to talk through what the results mean for the next decision in front of you.
Personal Vision Coaching Program
An eight-session journey built on the Highlands Whole Person Model — Abilities, Skills, Interests, Personal Style, Family, Values, Goals, and Career Stage. Ends in a written vision statement and a real plan.
Group Workshops for Schools & Teams
Tailored sessions for student bodies, athletic programs, faculty teams, and leadership cohorts. Built on the Highlands Ability Battery, customized to your group's actual goals.
Five kinds of people walk in the door.
Five different conversations.
Thou mayest — that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world. That says the way is open.
