Like many of us, I grew up with little self-esteem. When I changed my relationship with alcohol it all began to change and, at 59 years old, I found a new purpose in life. When I started coaching The Path thorugh This Naked Mind, I found a secondary goal; become a Senior Coach.
The requirements are simple:
Coach more than 300 paid hours
Be a part of the TNM Academy (continued education)
Provide 10 Client Testimonials
Between February 2024 and April 2025 I coached over 400 paid hours, I am always continuing my education in This Naked Mind, and I received 21 testimonials. So yes, I’m going to let my self-esteem rise because I’m proud of what I do, and I think I’m pretty good at it too.
I'm deeply grate to have had the opportunity to work with Coach Bill through TNM. His compassion created a safe and welcoming space where I felt truly seen, heard, and supported. He has an incredible ability to gently but effecitvely dig into the heart of the issue, helping me uncover beliefs and patterns that I didn't even realize were holding me back. His knowledge, insight, and intuition made a profound impact on my journey. One of his special gifts was how observant and attuned he was to everyone on the calls - if someone was struggling, he didn't hesitate to reach out with kindness and care. His energy, enthusiasm, and genuine concern for each of us set him apart. I always looked forward to my coaching calls with him, knowing I'd walk away feeling light, more grounded, and uplifted. He helped me navigate one of my deepest wounds and guided me through one of the toughest turnarounds I faced - helping me see the strength and power I had in my own healing. I have been in therapy many time throughout my adult life, and yet he was able to identify insights and offer perspectives that propelled me forward in ways I had never experienced before - even in therapy. He is a truly gifted coach with the biggest heart and an endearing sense of humor. He also has a way of making someone else's work come to life for others in the group - amplifying insight, connection, and growth through thoughtful reflection and shared wisdom. He is a true servant leader, and it's been a privilege to learn and grow alongside him.
Patient, open minded - appreciate it area that as a human being and f he aging gone through the TNMI, he doesn’t know EVERYTHING. Always with a thought process that is differential to your own. Truly cares.
Coach Bill stood out to me from the very beginning of my March 2024 path. His bio was powerful and touched me. From the beginning coach Bill was an incredible and thoughtful listener. His compassion is heartfelt and genuine. He exemplified the importance of the key components of the program such as the ACT technique. He went above and beyond for me to accommodate my shares with my work schedule. His personality and positivity is infectious. Coach Bill is a true gem. Of my six coaches he was the one I chose to inquire about doing further work with outside of TNM. The quality of everything he does is top notch. I hope that more and more people will benefit from his amazing work. He has touched my life deeply and changed my perspective and outlook on life. I am forever grateful. I recommend Bill wholeheartedly.
What did I need from our coaches to get to one year AF? I needed compassion with hard truths, tangible actions to take, new ways of viewing the world. All the coaches have been wonderful, but the one that stands out is Coach Bill. I think all of us April 2024 pathers were unanimous in our love of Coach Bill, in a different and special way than the other coaches. I believe we are all born with certain gifts. Coach Bill has tapped into his in exquisite splendor. His coaching calls left me - and everyone - full of hope. Hope that wasn't fleeting, but like a brick foundation each call would build upon. With hope, change is possible. When Coach Bill would remind us that we were all "fucking awesome," it was felt at our core. And that is not something life tends to send our way. Coach Bill taught us how to really apply the ACT worksheet - he would force some tough work but always with love. He shared just enough of his story to make him relatable. Coach Bill was the first person who made me feel like I could actually turn my back on alcohol. He didn't sugar coat his talk about it. Coach Bill combines all the tools of the Path with some special gift he has for making you feel loved, cared for - that you matter. As we were all working on our relationship with alcohol, that became a cornerstone of stability. Coach Bill has the intense knowledge of the Path, an innate gift for connecting with people, and a heart that marries the two into a profound ability to change lives. I can't recommend Coach Bill highly enough for Path Senior Coach.
Bill is an excellent coach. He listens, he’s very empathetic, he gives great advice when appropriate. He is also engaging in ongoing training and shares his knowledge in many different areas with his clients. I feel safe and validated any time I am on a call with Bill. I highly recommend him as a senior coach with TNM.
I 100% recommend Coach Bill to be a Senior coach with TNM. I’ve just finished the Path (April 24 cohort) & he has been not only integral but inspirational to my progress with alcohol. Bill was part of the 5 day free event that got me into the Path initially & has coached us in April. His dedication to his groups is unrivalled. Such great skill at digging into beliefs , helping us find the turnarounds. I had a share with Coach Bill that truly broke through barriers I had built due to past abuse, this has been critical in helping me find Peace. Bill is a credit to TNM
William Masters is an TNM coach. His personal experiences and knowledge of PATH, Byron Katie, Gabor Mate, and so much more give him the foundation of his coaching. What makes him special, though, is the way he connects and builds relationships with people. Because of Bill and his coaching in my April Path 2024, I have a toolkit full of techniques to use on my journey to a life I don’t want to escape from. He is true treasure.
Bill is so down to earth and compassionate. He is relatable and give such insightful ideas to get us further down the path. I appreciate his own desire to grow as a person and coach. He would make an awesome senior coach for the Path.
Bill is an excellent coach for many reasons. He embodies all the qualties an excellent coach needs to possess. Bill is kind, caring, intelligent and very empathetic. Bill easily connects with people. When Bill is coaching, he not only connects with person being coached but the other participants as well. Bill's true loving and caring nature radiates from his soul allowing the healing process to unfold.
Bill is a wonderful coach who connects very well with our path mates. He is very good at challenging us and helping with working through problems. He is extremely knowledgeable and would make a great senior coach.
I have been privileged to have had Coach Bill over last year, while I was doing the Path course. I found he was able to guide me through my crazy emotions while I navigated my way to alcohol freedom. Bill has a way of getting straight to the core with no fluffy stuff. He has an amazing empathy and kindness, while gently getting you to see what is really going on without the story. I’m so happy for him to have this opportunity and know he will be a huge asset as a head coach.
You would be foolish not to promote Coach Bill. I am a hard case. He has gone above and beyond in helping me through compassion and tough love.
Coach Bill has helped me tremendously through my AF journey in the Path. He is so compassionate and dedicated and so darn funny. What an asset he will be as a Senior Coach at This Naked Mind
Coach Bill is truly amazing! I honestly have never seen a coach that is so open, honest and heartfelt as he. And speaks in leyman’s terms…I can understand what he is saying (some can get complicated).
April 10 2025 One year ago today would be so so far away Without the hand of my Coach Bill guiding me so not to stray. So i crossed the Bridge of Can I do it? Through the Forest of Who am I? Found piles and piles of F it Moments Too many to even try Climbed from the Pit of Guilt & Shame Wrestled with a Lifetime of Who’s to Blame Snuck Down the Alley with Party Peeps Past the windows of Dead Dreams for - Cheap To finally arrive at the Temple of Dee It’s now all about Goddamn precious Me Hell no it wasn’t easy Hell yes I now stand tall Coach Bill he gives his everything to everyone each call xx
Bill has been instrumental in my journey to change my life. He has inspired and led me to self discovery which has strengthened my resolve to make a better life for myself and those who love me. Bill is a kind, gentle coach who asks that we find answers within ourselves. He is a Master at his craft and I know he will make a difference in the lives of all who are lucky enough to have him on their team!
Bill was one of my favorite coaches during April Path 2024. He knew how to face the hard stuff with us, how to take time to cut through the BS, and knew how to laugh with us too. He shared his own experiences and struggles when appropriate and made us feel normal even when we didn't. I consider him an excellent coach.
Working on the Path with Bill has been a definite highlight. He always brings something to the table. I may not be expecting it but it is always something I need. He is special.
It is difficult to put into words how instrumental Coach Bill has been in my journey to become alcohol free. I am AF because of his guidance through the work I needed to do, as difficult as it often was. He guided me, supported me, comforted me, held me accountable, always keeping me on path to freedom from alcohol, intuitively knowing what I needed. He helped me dive deeper into the concepts and tools I was learning about in The Path. Coach Bill was my favorite Coach during my time in the Path. From the beginning, he cried with us, loved us, and propelled us forward in our individual journeys. Everyone needs a Coach Bill in their life.
I would definitely recommend Coach Bill to become a senior coach for TNM. He is an awesome coach. I’ve done some private sessions with him and his intuition is amazing.
I had a life changing experience with Coach Bill. It was because of his expertise and deep knowledge of the subject of why we choose alcohol over ourselves, that I was able to claim back my life and level up to be the person I always wanted to become. I would highly recommend his coaching to anyone struggling with alcohol addiction.
