Testimonials

“Martin has been extraordinary and his insights have been invaluable… as he was able to cut through some of my resistance's and help me clarify what has been years of turmoil to getting what me where I need to be in the world of business.”

Yvette Puliga, MD, Mind Your Body

“Wow - is the first word that springs to mind for his ability to practice exactly what he preaches - he is living proof that his philosophies work. I have worked with him personally and have always found him giving, helpful and not afraid to try something new. He is a fantastic listener and has an excellent understanding of people, how they function and how to help them. He was inspirational when we where initially forming our business and succeeded in making us look outside the box. He has also helped a member of my family through his coaching. The person was in a pretty desperate situation as where her immediate family and Martin's guidance was second-to-none in aiding her recovery. Thank You. I would highly recommend Martin for motivation, guidance and helping your colleagues achieve the right mind set to get the job done.”
 

Deborah Stock , Owner

“Martin Goodyer is a highly skilled and prolific practitioner of the art of influencing people to influence themselves to be the best they can be. I have worked with Martin many times and have seen him create amazing rapport with a range of diverse groups and individuals. This rapport is the start of gaining a deep understanding of the needs of the person or group which is the beginning of the relationship vital to helping them realise (internally) and then realise (externally) their potential. An outstanding communicator and a thoroughly researched specialist in his field I have no reservation whatsoever in recommending Martin for work with groups, large and small and individuals at all levels. I guarantee that if you get him in once, you'll have him back.”

Michael Tipper, Director of Training, Positively MAD

“Martin is a very compassionate and non-judgmental human being. I have hired Martin as a coach and he puts his clients at ease immediately and creates an environment that is safe and easy for them to open up and discuss very personal and difficult topics when necessary. I have also asked Martin to work with a school student who was on the point of being expelled through drugs and other various behaviors that indicated a lost soul. He was a last resort for her when the system was having to let go. He succeeded in helping her and she enabled herself to continue in education, understand relationships and feel happier about life. I highly recommend Martin to you.”

Sandra James, Business Consultant

He kept everyone's attention and at the relevant breaks there was an eagerness to get back into the room and learn more. Everyone was happy to be there and participated 100%. A fantastic and very informative event. I would recommend him every time.”
