          Expert corporate trainer, charismatic presenter, and all-around good man

          Ben McKinnon - Holmesglen TAFE - Testimonial - Speaker engagement - Leadership training

          Martin Probst, in a simple summary, is an expert corporate trainer, charismatic presenter, and all-around good man who genuinely wants to help you improve your business results and your success in life.

          He will help you become a better communicator, more confident public speaker and overall, give you a deeper understanding of your own mind, behaviours and how you communicate to others (as well as realising the important differences there may be between you and others).
          I had the pleasure of meeting Martin multiple times through Holmesglen TAFE’s corporate training events.

          Other things I’ve noticed about Martin, I’ll also include below:
          • Master of human psychology and understanding people at their core levels (what drives people to think how they think, act how they do, and decide how they decide).
          • Respectfully challenges you to question any of your limiting beliefs (what things may be holding you back from your next level of success.)
          • Well structured presentations and fun interactive conversations with the audience.
          • Treats everyone he teaches with care, humble honest feedback and genuine curiosity to understand how he can help you and your team.

          In conclusion, I would happily recommend Martin and his teachings to any corporate organisation that wants to form a culture where staff have high self motivation, personal pride, collaborative teamwork of positive reinforcement and a drive to all become peak performers. This could all likely eventually result in not just increased profits/financial revenue, but also deeper long-term growth and fulfilment for your team, business, and yourself.

          Thank you for all you’ve taught us so far, Martin. 🙂

          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.

          Martin provides insightful and practical support, that is directly applied to your needs and situation. He gets directly to the issue, but in a way that gives you much more then you expected, and can profoundly alter your mindset. Martin is a tremendous asset to my staff and myself personally, and I would highly recommend him.

          It is critical for organisations to have employees who understand each other well and work together as a team. A 2014 study by PwC revealed that in the corporate world, every $1 spent on wellbeing programs sees a $2.70  increase in productivity.

          Professional development is a vital factor for organisations to:

          • Increase effectiveness and productivity
          • Translate improved productivity into a boost of bottom-line
          • Enhance communication within the organisation and hence improve customer service and reputation
          • Understand business needs and respect each other
          • Increase motivation and engagement at work that will reduce absenteeism and staff turnover
          • Develop a culture of trust which is a key factor in determining ultimate success
          • Enhance people skills and the ability to understand human behaviours
          • Improve employees’ health and well-being
          • Identify social capabilities for success
          • Build self-awareness and delegate effectively
          • Lift their career and organisation
          • Nurture values and beliefs that are clearly aligned with business vision and purpose
          • Effective communication between different stakeholders
          • Ability to turn dysfunctional situations into productive outcomes to retain staff
          • Translate goals into specific tasks and action
          • Develop an inspirational leadership culture through emotional intelligence
          • Position team members for optimum performance and outcomes
          • Lead change in a safe and supportive environment
          • Make powerful decisions with solution based thinking
          • Achieve more with less stress, lower financial costs and fewer frustrating delays
          • Gain trust and collaborate with others
          • Raise personal and team effectiveness
          • Influence and inspire others to excel
          • Boost confidence and self-esteem
          • Design a workforce that is an asset not a liability

          The PROfound Leadership Learning Approach

          When you become a PROfound Leadership client, you will experience a tailored approach to all services we provide.
          Everything we deliver is designed to accelerate your workforce's ability to achieve better outcomes and reap results from confident leadership.

          Our programs set themselves apart from other similar, off-the-shelf training solutions. The coaching sessions, workshop facilitations, leadership programs, keynote speeches and video tutorials are not hypothetical case studies, but much rather based on real situations that our clients are faced with, and always include a solution-based approach to enhance learner engagement and to positively impact business results and learner satisfaction.

          Methodology

          Our learning and development solutions are based on the PROfound Leadership Methodology, developed after extensive research of client needs and analysing prevailing skill gaps in education and the workforce.

          This innovative, learner-led method covers 360 degrees of human-centred leadership and serves as a compass for clients to overcome their challenges and move forward through six areas of development:

          • Identity & Relationships - Who
          • Values, Beliefs & Purpose - Why
          • Competency - How
          • Environment - Where
          • Structure & Planning - When
          • Behaviours & Action - What

          PROfound Methodology - Leadership Skills - Professional Development

          Led by the client’s identified learning needs, the six components are addressed either in the order they appear in the methodology or in a slightly different chronology as required. Our approach is to tailor the program to the client for maximum engagement, satisfaction and business outcomes, which calls for flexibility and innovative delivery design.

          Implementation Strategy

          For the implementation of learnings, we developed and designed the LEADER Learning Methodology, a 6-step process that provides the clients with a clear strategy and succinct guidance.

          LEADER Learning Implementation Strategy

            This LEADER step sequence maximises outcomes not only during the Learning & Development session itself, but participants can successfully transfer their learnings into the workplace by a post-training review of the workbook and through follow-up session options if selected.

            How long is this workshop, and can it be adapted to suit our team’s schedule?

            The recommended length is listed in the section 'Flexible delivery options'.

            And yes. Each workshop can be adapted to deliver in other lengths to suit your requirement and budget. We’ll work with you to recommend the most effective content structure based on your goals and time availability.

            Is this a formal qualification?

            Fortunately not! We do not believe in a “cookie cutter” approach, where the one off-the-shelf program suits everybody. This program gives us the necessary flexibility and opportunities to deliver real solutions tailored to our participants’ needs rather than ticking boxes and getting lost in bureaucracy.

            Do you offer this workshop online as well as in person?

            Yes. All workshops are available both on-site and virtually. The content and interaction remain highly engaging and practical regardless of delivery mode, using tools like breakout rooms, live polling, and group activities.

            What materials are included for participants?

            For half-day and full-day sessions, participants receive a professionally designed workbook which includes key concepts, reflection prompts, practical tools, and space for personal insights. These resources help embed learning beyond the session.

            PS: For an additional fee, we can also create a workbookhandout for shorter sessions.

            Is there a minimum or maximum number of participants?

            While we recommend a minimum of 6 and a maximum of around 25 for optimal interaction, we can adjust depending on your group’s needs. Larger groups may be split across sessions or delivered in keynote-style format if required.

            Can we combine this workshop with others as part of a leadership development program?

            Yes. Many clients choose to roll out multiple workshops over time to build on leadership capability. Our sessions work well as stand-alone learning or as part of a strategic leadership series.

            Is there anybody who can help participants if they get stuck?

            Participants have access to the PROfound Leadership team who is there to support them via email or phone even after the workshop for when they face a challenge.
