Here’s what others are saying:
Marc came into my life as a life coach at a very critical junction in my life. It wasn’t quite as obvious when we first started working together what was about to unfold but as the weeks went on I very much required a supportive assistant and Marc was that for me. In the midst of my turmoil Marc consistently brought me back to centre and helped me focus on my goals and what was most important to me for my present and future. When crunch time came Marc was right there to make sure I didn’t give up on myself and to support me. Fortunately (for me) he is very focused and was able to guide me with confidence.
I am truly grateful for Marc’s skills as a coach and his special kind of assistance. He is truly worth his weight in gold. I know that Marc has gone to continue his training and that he will be more sensational for it. As a professional I was impressed knowing that Marc was committed to his own professional growth in order to assist his clients with even greater depth and confidence.
I would recommend Marc to anyone who needs a firm and consistent coach to keep them on track to success. Marc is fabulous!

I recently engaged the services of Marc De Bruin to help me with the coaching of one of my staff. I was having difficulty relating to and getting results from one of my team and had come to a dead end. After initial discussions with Marc I felt confident that with his experience and expertise, he could work with both of us to bridge our differences and address the business’ concerns.
I was pleasantly surprised by his ability to set the initial goals, define the objectives and work towards the final outcome of our problems. Marc has the ability and flexibility to discuss all areas of business and personal issues in a respectful and educated manner.
Specifically, I noticed a change in the level of understanding and motivation that occurred with my staff member and as a consequence the improvement in the business. I also learnt a lot about myself and my communication with my staff. The knowledge that he imparted has added a great deal of value to our business as a whole.
I am extremely happy with the result and would have saved a lot of time and money had I found him earlier. I would not hesitate to recommend Marc to any business and will engage his services in the future.

I had always felt that I was chasing elusive success, other people got ‘there’, so why not me? Having been a very heavy smoker, when I finally stopped I found I had massive amounts of energy that I initially went to Marc to help me channel these into positive outcomes.
What I discovered after speaking with Marc was that I had so many negative thought processes, particularly around ‘success’, but also around other aspects of my life that I wasn’t too happy about…..and that I was actually getting exactly what I was asking for! Life was ok, but I was never satisfied and never felt like I was really good enough….it basically felt too hard most of the time.
Now after a few months of regular work with Marc, life is awesome, and I don’t mean that in a “rah rah” motivational course way but a ‘I feel really good about myself and my life’ way. I have completely changed my view of success and find successes in my life every day, even on the hardest ones! I spend wonderful time with my wife and kids and my business is growing at a fantastic rate. I now take responsibility for my life and Marc has taught me amazing, yet incredibly simple tools to ensure that I create the outcome that satisfies me! I am even back in the water and surfing every day.
I have done my fair share of personal growth courses and this is nothing like that! Marc has a caring and no-nonsense approach and asks the right questions to get us moving.
I would recommend Marc to anyone who feels they have a block in life that they can’t seem to get through.
Plenty of my friends have asked what the #*&$ has happened to you…..and I tell ‘em: Marc de Bruin. I get a shiver up my spine and tears in my eyes sometimes when I think about how much easier life is now.
Thank you mate, for giving me the tools to get back my spark!
My mum was the one who first suggested that I have some life coaching sessions. At the time I was a quite unsure of the benefits that a life coach could provide me, but after a few sessions with Marc it was certain that I had begun the journey towards achieving my goals. I’ve always had a big goal in the back of mind that I have wanted to achieve before I started coaching with Marc. The picture of me reaching this goal however was blurry, undefined and I often questioned my ability of actually achieving it.
Marc helped me break down my goal into realistic chunks that I have no doubt I can pull off.Now that I have finished the life coaching program I have a much clearer goal and a more defined path, I know that where I’m heading is where I want to be. I am now traveling to the United States to study and play basketball for one semester at the State University of New York in Cortland. I would recommend Marc to everyone, even if you think are you living your dreams, Marc will help you to get more out of your life.

The reason why I decided to get coaching by Marc was because I felt insecure and I wanted to do something about it. After I had given birth to my beautiful daughter I looked back and saw just negatives things about the past. I couldn’t change my negative self-belief and wanting to do that was the most important reason for me sign up.
So in june this year I started the “journey” with Marc. So far it has given me the strength to go on, and I learned that only my mind is playing tricks on me, not life itself. If you want to change your life, you CAN do it, that’s the very clear message Marc has taught me. But you’ll have to work on it EVERY DAY!
It’s just like breathing in the end, when it comes naturally your life will look beautiful and you can handle any situation, even when you think you can’t.
By giving yourself rewards for your actions you get more confidence in the things you do. Marc is a good coach, he knows what and where my weaknesses are and so he always knows how to get me “positive” again by asking questions, making me take action, etc.
Now I look totally different at the world, I’ve let go of more than I did 6 months ago. I’m still learning and try to take and make more time for myself and my family. Marc is a great help in me achieving this for myself!

The reason why I wanted to see a coach was to improve my business and personal life, to help me to set goals step by step. Marc helped me in his” straightforward and easy to understand way” to feel more in control of my life and to make me feel less “overwhelmed” by the workload I set out for myself.
The results I feel I have by Marc’s sessions are that I feel much more relaxed and not stressed out with work, balance work and pleasure in a better way. He also made me realise that I wanted more fun in my life and it is easier for me to make that happen.
My finances have improved and that is very rewarding.He really can help you to help yourself.

It was during a very difficult time in my marriage that I was faced with a major decision: do I continue living with my abusive husband, or do I find the inner resources required to overcome the hurdles to leave?
Through some aimless searching on the internet I discovered Marc’s website and was immediately drawn to his clear and precise style of communication. And so began my journey of growth and empowerment so I could take the necessary steps required to eventually leave the USA and return to my homeland, Australia.
With Marc’s constant encouragement and skill in gently nudging my comfort zone ever further, I finally returned to Australia just 4 weeks ago with just a few suitcases, a deep calm and peace that I’d made the RIGHT decision and an inner knowing that all would be OK. Within 1 week of job hunting I was offered not 1 but 2 jobs!! Amazing. Now I feel things are just falling into place, with a minimum of effort, as I remember to stay focused on Marc’s usual question: “But what do you really WANT?”
I’ve found Marc to be such an inspiration as a coach as he freely shares his own struggles and challenges along the way. His upbeat, encouraging style of communication has enabled clearer introspection as he has pushed my boundaries of comfort, to enhance the change process. Our sessions have always been uplifting and filled with a good deal of laughter as a result of Marc’s sense of fun and quirky humour!!
So thanks, Marc, for continuing to support and guide me during this transition stage of my journey. And I can now look forward to a future of my own conscious creation!

The last few weeks have been good considering all I’ve had to do and you were so right, Marc, about the universe answering me making some positive moves forward. It’s amazing how many things have started to take form for me and I’ve followed my gut about keeping all the balls in the air and expecting things to start to take shape. You might be interested to know that I found myself heading a catering team to cater for 800 people last Saturday …. I’m glad for it to see what I really had in me. You really have a gift for helping me change perspective.

Coaching has given me a new zest for life and motivation to go after what I truly want. I have read and undertaken many self-development courses in the past but the motivation would not last and I’d be back to my old mediocre habits.
Personal coaching with Marc has helped me decide what it is I truly want to pursue in life. This combined with specific techniques that Marc provided has allowed me to make substantial progress towards my goals and in particular being an expert in the field of Bushfire Planning. I am amazed at what I have achieved and completed in such a small amount of time.
During my time with Marc I:
- Finally completed my fourth degree and have been offered a place in a brand new degree in the field of Bushfire Planning by a respected Sydney University.
- Applied for and been accepted by my peers as a member of a National Professional Institute and Special Interest Group for Bushfire Planning.
- Have been appointed by my Local Government as Planning representative on a Local Government Committee for Bushfire Planning.
- Have been appointed as Administration Officer for my local Rural Fire Brigade Group comprising of 10 Fire Brigades.
- Have been acknowledged by my employer, colleagues and my industry as having expertise in Bushfire Mitigation.
- Have substantially expanded my knowledge, resources and network in the field of Bushfire Planning.
- Changed my diet.
- Commenced new exercise programs and started to achieve my health goals.
- Look and feel better.
- Improved my financial position.
- Learned to be more productive and effective with my time.
- Noticed positive spin offs with my family and friends. and
- Most importantly changed the way I think.
In two words I would sum up coaching with Marc as: Life Changing!

I had made an acquaintance with Marc over the internet when he asked me a question, ‘Why does a photographer become involved in personal development’? I was only too happy to explain my interest in personal development over many years and wanting to help other people become inspired. I invited Marc along as a guest to a Kurek Ashley event to get to know him in person.
I was very impressed with Marc that night. He was warm and genuine and I felt comfortable in his presence.
When he offered me a consultation with him I jumped at the chance. I am going through a very challenging phase on my life’s journey where I am separating from my partner. I felt I needed some assistance with coping with this drama and my feelings of disempowerment from past hurtful relationships.
Marc made me feel very comfortable and took me through an amazing session where I learned where these feelings originated, setting them free.
Since then I have been on a subsequent session with Marc on another topic and have no hesitation in recommending him as an excellent NLP Master. I’ll be seeing him again!
When I first met Marc I could tell he was an exceptional person who is informative and fun to talk to. I was looking for a coach and knew he would be great. I have not been disappointed and in a short time have seen tremendous personal and professional benefits due to Marc’s coaching. I recommend you give him a try!
With a perspective that encompasses worldwide vistas Marc brings a myriad of skills to his coaching practice and each new endeavor. Working with Marc as part of a beta testing team, I observed first hand his sound judgment and keen intuition. Integrity and innovation are reflected in every facet of his work. When you’re ready to explore a new outlook on life, I highly recommend Marc as your guide.

I was at a new level in life, when all of a sudden it just plateaued. Fear, self doubt and frustration started creeping back in, but I knew I had some more moving forward to do.
Then along came Marc (in the form of a flyer).
With Marc’s support and understanding of my personality as he got to know me, he was able to guide me back on course.
I now know how to set goals and how to successfully achieve them. I am now relieving in higher positions with my job and making new friendships with people I’m meeting through different avenues. With my new awareness of myself, I now understand why fear creeps back in and what I was really saying to myself – and believing it!!!!!!
Thanks Marc. You really know your stuff and you are great to nut things out with.

Thanks so much for the session with you yesterday. Afterward I felt like I could do anything. I’m shocked by how much I have been sabotaging myself from doing what I really want to do. I’m the only one who has been stopping my progress, not the lack of opportunites or lack of skills, just me not taking that unfamiliar step forward.
You asked just the right questions for me to see that for myself. It was quite confronting and even uncomfortable at times because you had me face my own truth, and there’s nowhere to hide from that. This means no more excuses not to be living the life I want to live.
Last night I took the plunge and spoke in front of a group of people and was so suprised by how easy it was once I started, it just flowed. The audience was engaged the whole time and even asked questions. For someone who has always been afraid of being noticed, oh my goodness, I actually enjoyed being the centre of attention!
Today I had some people follow up from last night, who are interested in working with me in the future. Wow. It’s amazing what can happen by taking one little step forward in the direction of your dreams. And all of this after just one session with you. You’re an angel! Thank you!!!
