“I had considered a mentor/ coach for a few years and then I came across Marcus at a networking event, giving a speech about his journey, his ambitions and I was captivated. 6 months later and life is great. I’m grateful for Marcus’s support, wisdom and energy and look forward to our weekly meets. My personal life and business are all the better since we have teamed up. Thank you Marcus.”
One or two to one, you can’t shut me up. Four or five to one, I can get my point across quite confidently. Groups of six plus, I can talk the talk but the shakes hamper the walk…. 10, 20, 100+:The words are there but it’s hard to be taken seriously when you resemble a jelly on a tumble dryer at full spin.
The Mindset Revolution’s Public Speaking Day run by the, quite frankly, brilliant Marcus was every bit as extraordinary and helpful as I’d hoped.
We learned, shared, cared, practised, laughed and cried (although that might just have been me. Twice.).
Despite the widely varying public speaking “issues” of the group, Marcus somehow manages to simultaneously tailor every aspect of every exercise/lesson/insight to everyone in the room.
As a result, we all left feeling a lot more competent and confident, armed with personal toolboxes of techniques to put into practise in the real world. Highly recommended (albeit a slightly more emotional deep dive than I was prepared for!)
Marcus has been mentoring me for the past 6 months. I took him on to help me through a transition stage of my business as I felt there were recurring blocks that were holding me back from getting to the next level. I’ve found him to be an invaluable support. He’s helped me drill down into my values and beliefs to make changes at the core. Plus he’s hows me accountable to putting the work into building the business and going about it in a positive and confidence way. He’s got my back and it’s really making the difference, especially through the tougher days or when facing a block that’s been there for a long time. He offers the right blend of caring and support mixed with accountability and persistence. You’re a lucky person if you can convince him to take you on for mentoring.
I’d love for you to Think Better. Feel Better. Live Better.
