Session was incredibly engaging, thought-provoking, and energising
I had the privilege of attending Fearless Leadership Talks with Martin, and to say the session was exceptional and perfectly timed for both my professional and personal development would be an understatement. I went in thinking, “I’m too busy for this right now”, and expecting a fairly standard workshop. But almost immediately, Martin began challenging long-held assumptions I didn’t even realise I had. He helped me reframe the way I approach relationships and how I see myself operating. The session was incredibly engaging, thought-provoking, and energising—I came away inspired and motivated. I’d highly recommend it to anyone.

Meticulously designed to foster leadership excellence
As someone deeply invested in personal and professional growth, I recently had the privilege of attending an empowering leadership training session that left an indelible mark on my journey. Led by Martin Probst and his team of seasoned facilitators, this program exceeded my expectations in every aspect.
From the outset, it was evident that this training was meticulously designed to foster leadership excellence. The content was thoughtfully curated, blending cutting-edge leadership theories with practical strategies applicable to real-world scenarios. What truly set this program apart was its emphasis on experiential learning. Through engaging activities, insightful discussions, and interactive simulations, participants were not mere spectators but active contributors to their own development.
One of the most remarkable aspects of this training was its inclusivity. Regardless of prior leadership experience or organizational role, every participant felt valued and empowered to share their unique perspectives. Martin Probst created a safe and supportive environment conducive to open dialogue, where diverse voices were not just welcomed but celebrated. This inclusive approach not only enriched the learning experience but also inspired a sense of camaraderie among attendees.
Moreover, Martin exemplified the principles they imparted. Their passion for leadership was palpable, infusing every session with energy and authenticity. Their blend of expertise, empathy, and humour fostered an atmosphere of trust, encouraging participants to step out of their comfort zones and embrace growth wholeheartedly.
Perhaps the most profound impact of this training was its focus on self-awareness and emotional intelligence. Through introspective exercises and constructive feedback, participants gained valuable insights into their leadership styles and areas for development. This heightened self-awareness served as a catalyst for personal transformation, equipping attendees with the tools to lead with authenticity, empathy, and resilience.
I cannot recommend this leadership training session highly enough. Whether you’re a seasoned executive seeking to refine your leadership skills or a budding leader eager to unleash your full potential, this program offers invaluable insights and practical tools to elevate your leadership journey. Prepare to be inspired, challenged, and empowered in ways you never thought possible.
Thank you to Martin and his team behind this transformative experience. Your dedication to leadership excellence is truly commendable, and I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to be part of this enriching journey.

I would describe Martin as professional AND approachable

Martin Probst delivered an engaging and in-depth presentation on the DISC model of leadership for the RMIT Executive MBA. His interactive session encouraged students to share their stories and experiences, which added a practical and more authentic discussion that students continued to discuss days later. I would describe Martin as professional AND approachable. His materials (handouts, info sheets) were beautifully designed and very helpful for future reflection and development that extends outside of the session. I look forward to collaborating with Martin again.

Strategies are a real game-changer

“I have known Martin for a very long time. His story and his wisdom provide you with different perspectives and choices in your personal and professional life. Applying his strategies are a real game-changer.”

Incredibly helpful and contained practical and relevant advice

The leadership training session with Martin was incredibly helpful and contained practical and relevant advice that I could immediately put into practice at work and in my personal life.
I can highly recommend him as a personal coach to any manager looking for next step in their career.
Exceptional methodology
Exceptional methodology, the best I’ve heard, really resonated. Martin does not use PowerPoint. His presentation is unique, powerful, useful and interesting.
It blows my mind

It blows my mind that Martin Probst can deliver that kind of mindset change in such a short period of time.
In just one short session I was able to reset my thinking around conflict participation and resolution. From a management perspective his logic is easy to understand and relatable to teams. I highly recommend working with Martin.
I enjoyed and looked forward to every session

Before working with PROfound Leadership, I was unsure about my communication style – I often found myself in a situation caused by miscommunication. Generally, always considering myself not being a team player, I wanted to learn how to work with my growing team of employees and my work colleagues. Also my self confidence was quite low, impacting my relationships with our prospects / customers.
While learning and applying the different strategies, I have learned to listen first. The engagement and communication with my new team is improving. Mainly, I have really enjoyed learning more about myself, how past experiences have affected me and what beliefs I have formed from those experiences. This gave me such insight into my own strengths and weaknesses and what I want to improve and act on.
As a result of completing the Leadership Program and Coaching sessions, I have been able to get better organized, identify and verbalize better our company’s values, mission and vision that guides now the team and improved the communication with our clients and suppliers.
I would highly recommend this for anyone who wants to grow. I feel like I have grown as a person and as an entrepreneur. Working with Martin has improved all my relationships, with myself, my partner and within my business. I also enjoyed and looked forward to every session.
Best money I’ve ever spent

PROfound – it’s very appropriate. The changes in your life are PROfound. – This was the best money I’ve ever spent.
Highly gifted business and personal coach

Martin is highly gifted business and personal coach. He works very quickly with people and is able to create change and cut-through.He works in counter-intuitive ways that really work. More importantly, he is a quality person with a great heart.
Integrity, reliability, commitment and dedication

I have known Martin Probst for a number of years. His integrity, reliability, commitment and dedication to his work are well recognised by all of his colleagues and I count myself very lucky to have worked with him and remain a loyal friend. He has assisted me on many occasions, both at a professional and personal level, his NLP skills are outstanding and I recommend him as a councilor or mentor at all levels.
