Sessions with Martin are so packed with information and insight that there is so much to take away. I have been working with Martin for 2 years now both as part of the Future Leaders of the West program, organised by the Committee for Wyndham and as my Business Coach. I have a trusted advisor, a great sounding board and someone who helps me grow and develop my leadership and business management skills. Thanks Martin I so value you and your leadership.

One of the best PDs where strategies were facilitated and thoughts provoked rather than suggest tried ways.

My favourite part of the event was the self realisation/actualisation. I allowed myself to close a couple of negative chapters in my work life. Thanks, Martin!

I liked having my thoughts challenged; my greatest learning was that the only thing we can control is our own attitudes / actions / behaviours. Thank you, Martin. I found your facilitation style and knowledge very useful.

The event was much more than I expected. My single greatest learning was to look at my values and how I can use them to guide my decisions. Thank you, Martin, for your time and enthusiasm.

The event provided me some insights of the behavioural approach I know and understand but never really incorporated in my life. I guess now is the time to incorporate that if I wish to achieve my desired goal. Thankyou for this amazing workshop!

[Workshop Confident Conflict Management]

The Motivation and Inspiration in Leadership presentation was a tremendous success, attracting a diverse range and level of attendees. Your presentation was informative and many commented on how they reflected on their own practices. It also allowed for the reflection on workplace practices within their organisation.

I think you ran the meetup in a tremendously smooth & impactful way! I was particularly impressed with your explanation around having a positive versus a negative WHY! – I think you are doing a fine job with facilitating such meetups & empowering so many!

Exceptional methodology, the best I’ve heard, really resonated. Martin does not use PowerPoint. His presentation is unique, powerful, useful and interesting.
