“Before the coaching with Markus I was always wondering what it would be like to be in my dream job with my dreamed salary.
During the coaching sessions with Markus, I discovered a new level of confidence to pursue what I really want.
Markus has been able to help me see that our lives are formed by narratives, gathered through our life experiences.
Our sessions delve into our primary and secondary beings and how that affects the way our narratives are built. It helped me understand by looking into them and changing those narratives do bring about the transformation I sought.
As a result, I now have my dream job, with what was only a dreamed salary before, become a reality.”

Ben Hawley is the Head of Sales and Business Development for a fast-growing, early-stage infrastructure services company where he leads a cross-functional team of thirty people.
He has faced several challenges since switching from an established company, where he benefited from existing structures to support personal development and growth, to a business that lacked such structure and support. In his new role, he was responsible for growing a substantial portfolio of products and solutions with little independent advice and no access to a trusted sounding board.
He was also extremely time-poor, working unsustainable hours and feeling like he was always running out of time, an experience shared by many salespeople. Despite the challenges and lack of structure and support, Ben managed to grow the company’s revenue ten-fold. This article explores how he achieved such an extraordinary outcome.
Over the course of working with Markus for just a little over one year, Ben transformed his relationship with various Aspects of Being, like awareness, authenticity, anxiety and confidence. As a result, he became 30% more effective with time management.
This led to him winning the biggest deal in the company’s history resulting in 1000% business growth within twelve months and a 600% increase in his sales pipeline for the upcoming year. More details here.

"Before I met Markus, my confidence at work was low and my worry high. Working with Markus has enabled me to find my voice and be assertive and vulnerable at work. I have learned tools to handle anxiety and choose peace of mind daily."
Laura // Merchandise Planning Manager, manages a team of 6-15 people in Vancouver, Canada
“Before I met Markus, I was working in an extremely demanding role that I didn't realise I was getting burnt out. Whilst I loved what I was doing, I was not getting the recognition such as promotion, being paid in line with market rates for the efforts I was putting in or be enabled to grow a team. Additionally, over time, my role was progressively increasing in strategic and tactical responsibilities to be handled as a single person over three core disciplines.
As time progressed, I felt I was stuck and was losing confidence in my capabilities.
Since the sessions with Markus, I have changed jobs to an organisation that has all the ideal qualities for me to be my best. I feel a greater sense of confidence and also being able to overcome my burnt out. More importantly, I have learnt to set better boundaries, not feel guilty for looking after myself and I feel my relationship with others have also improved.
Markus is an amazing listener who is very intuitive and I know has my interest at heart to help me be my best.
I highly recommend Markus to anyone who wants to change their life, not be stuck at where they are at, is seeking tangible results and someone who genuinely keeps them accountable. This can be any individual; be it someone who is running their own business or as employees/ professionals.
Most importantly, someone who wants a change for the better for themselves and those around them."
JAX // Security Advisory & GRC Professional, Sydney
“During the coaching with Markus, I discovered that many ideas or preconceptions I had about myself are not written truths but the product of past experiences that have shaped the way I am, but that I can change or adjust if I become aware of what they are and where they come from. This requires time and work, and to be honest this is something I struggled with.
Another important factor I discovered is that coaching can have a huge impact on my life and my relationship with others, on a professional and personal level. This is something I was a bit sceptic about before.
Markus coached me for over a year, in a period in which I completely transformed my self-confidence and have become a more secure and effective professional.
This has enabled more productive relationship with my team and business partners, focused on the objective at hand, and enabled me to take on a role as acting director for a large-scale energy project."
William Faulconer // Manager & Interim Director, Chile
“Before I started working with Markus I was in a job I enjoyed, but didn't feel it was answering my calling - nor was it an environment where I'd continue to grow long term.
I'd tell myself that everything was fine and I should be appreciative that I had a good job, but deep down I wasn't being challenged or fulfilled.
I felt like I was at a 'floating' phase of life, where I was putting other's before myself, my goals and ambitions.
Working with Markus I transitioned from a mid level role at a small company to a directorship level at an internationally renowned agency, where my responsibility has increased as has my awareness of my value in that role. I feel significantly less anxious or fearful that my actions may be wrong, and I've come to terms with the value of my worth - be it to a company or myself.
That results are guaranteed, and if you feel stuck in the trajectory to your potential, he's the guy to get you on the right path.
I'd recommend this coaching to anyone wanting to level up in their career, improve the quality of communication in any of their relationships, and anyone feeling they may have hit a plateau or currently be floating through their career and wanting to unlock what they have within them to be as successful as they can possibly be.”
Dave Matthews // Head Client Partner, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
“Before I got to know Markus, I didn't know a lot about myself as a business owner or how I was going to navigate building up my business. I was overwhelmed with the enormity of having a business and needing to rely upon myself to do all the tasks.
During the coaching, I have developed a different perspective to business ownership and how it needs to run. I created many policies for my business and safety assessments. I have become brave enough to make big decisions in my business, employ people and retrench people. Markus was able to help me build a small team to support me.
Markus is an amazing coach. He holds you accountable for you to do the things you say you will do. He has extensive experience and knowledge in business, has managed large teams as part of larger organisations and is a fantastic person to support you.
I recommend business owners who already have 2-5 employees, people who are stepping into leading teams and people who are logical thinkers to coach with Markus to become more effective with their teams and in life overall.”
Kate Stein // Business Owner, Wandandian, Australia
“I came to Markus with a specific purpose to uncover my true purpose and passion in life. I always was unsatisfied with my roles. I was working for money, not for deeper purpose. I was feeling not living a full life and wanted to give more and feel that I was contributing and making a difference in the world.
Working with Markus and Being Profile® has brought a new and deeper level of self awareness.
I also have a new perspective on what is limiting my progress in life. I still have plenty of change to make. I feel I am making real and deep change to my behaviours and outlook on the world getting more self-love and capable.
By taking actionable responsibility for the change to bring into my life to start living the life I want in the future. I can already feel less burden from the past and more present in the now. I have also made steps in develop more self-confidence and being firm & direct in the areas of my life that I want to.
Anyone that is feeling stuck and can’t find the solutions for change. Markus can unlock your potential and bring greater awareness to allow your self to be more able and free from the past.
You can change now and grow into the best person you can be!"
Justin Harrison // Sales & Marketing Manager, Sydney
“I lost 70% of my revenue during COVID-19, which put me in a state of overwhelm and anxiety. I was struggling to do everything by myself.
Coaching with Markus had me uncover a lot of limitations that I didn’t know I had and with his incredible array of tools I have had major breakthroughs.
Now I have a great plan, I have accountability and
I have raised my revenue by 30%.
I highly recommend to coach with Markus.”
Kristina Devlin // Business Owner, Sydney, Australia
"Before I met Markus I was unclear as to the future direction I was facing. I had made a life decision that didn't work out and felt the proverbial rug was pulled from under me. Things were unstable and uncertain with no real way of knowing how to get to clarity. I was feeling fearful, worried and unsure.
During Markus's coaching I was able to access frames of reference, mindset shifts and resources to be able to change my emotional state and to have clear pathway forward to be able to move forward to progress and change direction.
As a result, using the forgiveness process, I have conversations with and work collaboratively with my partner and to be present to myself and family.
Working with Markus I experienced a feeling that someone cares and is vested in my emotional well-being to succeed and be my best self.
I can recommend working with Markus to anyone who is smart but is yet to fully commercialise their vision, someone who is stuck in their business or role and needs to navigate a pathway to transition into something else.
He helped me to focus my capacity to align with my capability to be able to be more productive, courageous and most importantly authentic."
Shaylin Rose // Business Owner, Melbourne, Australia
”Before I worked with Markus it was hard to interact in challenging situations.
Using the Being Profile® and 1:1 Effective Results Coaching, I discovered an access to how to be and stay confident in challenging conversations. I discovered that forgiveness is key to performance.
Now I am discovering on how to be more expressed, more authentic and more communicative as a business owner and artist.”
Rachael Berry // Business Owner, Sydney, Australia
“I was in a very bad spot. I was thinking about a business I did not care about just for the sake of money, I forgot about my passion and I was taking choices totally disconnected from my true self. I was overwhelmed by fear of having a relationship. I was resentful and above all I could not see how I could have ever got out of there.
Now, I am pursuing my dream again, I am about to open my own skydiving operation.
In the pursuit of fulfilling on my dream, I have now 5x’ed my salary per year from 30.000 AUD to 170.000 AUD.
I also gave up smoking thanks to the coaching with Markus.”
Fabrizio Giannelli // Professional Athlete & World Cup Winner in Skydiving Perth, Western Australia
”For the last 2 years I have had the good fortune to be coached by Markus through some of the most challenging events of my life.
He has been rock steady and helped me reflect on how I was being in situations where I felt unable to progress without support.
He has also enabled me develop awareness, integrity, and effectiveness as well as many other characteristics which I didn’t even realize I had neglected.
I can see how I was reacting rather than consciously responding.
I am now in an incredibly good place emotionally and with my new career.
I also made an incredibly difficult decision to move on from an 8-year relationship, and I do not think I would have made these empowering changes were it not for Markus.
I am so grateful for the incredible coaching I have received and the difference he has made in my life.
I would recommend him to anyone wanting to increase their perception of their own characteristics so they can transform their performance, wellbeing, and those around them in their professional careers and personal lives.”
Ben Dowsett // Business Owner, Spain
”When I contacted Markus, I was feeling stuck, frustrated and angry. This not only impacted my mental health but also my relationships with everyone and more importantly with my son and his dad (we are divorced).
I was constantly questioning myself and my abilities, feeling that whatever I do was “not good enough” and getting upset if things would not go my way or were not perfect.
The Being Framework Ontological Model made me realise that shifting my relationship with authenticity, vulnerability & courage would help me be more effective
Working with Markus and doing the 3-Month-Results & Leadership Transformation Coaching Program, I transformed the following:
- From “I need, I should, I must, I have to” motivated by controlling thought to realising I don’t “need to” anymore. I am now being more open, vulnerable and authentic. As a result, I am feeling more at peace as I can now authentically chose and own my choices freely.
- From Imposter Syndrome, I am now more confident in my abilities and make decisions more easily.
- From procrastination motivated by perfectionism, I now take actions with confidence in delivering a good work.
In only few months, my relationship with my loved ones have completely transformed, I am feeling much happier and at peace.
I am overall more authentic, confident, and being aligned with my choices. I gave up the need to be perfect and stopped worrying about what people think of me.
Only a couple of weeks after starting working with Markus, I have done the Being Profile Accreditation Program co-lead by Markus, launched my Coaching business, started my first networking event in London, and feel more confident and fulfilled in my life than ever before.
I am extremely grateful for Markus’s kindness & support and highly recommend his 3-Month-Results & Leadership Transformation Coaching Program.”
Carole Gavin // CEO & Founder of Carole Coaching Ltd.
“I was in a transition in my life and needed to check in with myself on whether the direction I was headed was still the right path for me. As someone who values service and connection I felt the need to re-evaluate where I was and where I needed too refine what I could offer.
Its honestly too early to tell, but for now I can say I feel more confident in my direction, more confident in my abilities and am excited to serve from this space.
What have you got to lose? The process is non judgmental and you'll only ever come out the other side with more awareness about yourself than the way you came in. The world needs more people who understand who they are.
As with many things in life, you get out what you put in, so you need to be committed to the process. The coaching is suited for anyone who is curious to explore themselves and their relationship with the world.
For me this explorative approach works better than a traditional "do as I say" method as it helps me understand myself on so many levels without self judgement."
Ben Levy // Business Owner, Sydney, Australia
“My core problem was that I was stuck with my business and I was not moving forward. I had self-doubt and was not motivated to finish tasks, and I was procrastinating a lot."
I also was stuck in a job for 19 years, which I really did not like and I only still was there because of security.
During the coaching with Markus, I started to have total faith in myself and knew that I would be okay no matter what and that the time had finally arrived to do what I love doing! Basically, I am jumping off the cliff with faith that I can fly!
I also obtained one client who had 3 sessions with me. What a great start!
Markus works with many different modalities which I like, therefore he will be able to tailor his coaching to anybody who is coachable and wants to thrive.
He is able to open your treasure chest from within so you will be unstoppable and able to create whatever you want to create. I recommend his coaching for people who want to move forward in business or in their personal life who feel stuck.”
Jutta Klipsch // Business Owner JuttaK Empowerment & Leadership Coaching
“Before my session with Markus I was struggling to find coaching clients. I became uncertain of myself and my skills to market my services.
Throughout my Being Profile® Assessment Debrief & Follow-up sessions, I began to discover qualities about myself that were holding me back and preventing me from being the true person that I am. I was able to release blocks around ideas and self belief that has enabled me to move forward.
As a result, I have been able to gain confidence in my own abilities and have stepped outside my comfort zone, without the worrying of negativity creeping back in.
As a subsequent result, I got 2 new clients and have started to achieve some of my goals.
I'd like to thank Markus for opening my eyes to what was missing in my own life that was preventing me from succeeding.”
Jo Monardo // Life Coach Sydney, Australia
“The coaching I completed with Markus has really helped me with regards to my business in so many ways. I now structure my business more effectively and have increased my revenue as a result.
I was fascinated with the results of the Being Profile® I completed with Markus which gave me greater clarity with my business and life goals.
Markus also shared valuable knowledge I have applied in my business with regards to effective communication."
Kathryn Beacroft // Business Owner, Naturopath & Mindset Coach
“Hi my name is Julie-Anne Donnachie, I am a Building Facilities Manager with JLL. Before I joined the session (2 Hour Masterclass) with Markus I was searching for the next level of salary & feeling unsupported by a previous colleague.
I got a realisation that I need to consistently benchmark my salary. I got that staying above the line is the way to stay in my lane.
Markus is a dynamic individual and coach who is extremely knowledgeable, supportive and passionate. You will receive insights, data and tools for your ever-expanding tool belt to Leadership and life. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
“Anyone who is looking for personal-development or improved sales figures, I recommend to jump in, you won’t regret it.
Realisation: Benchmark & stay above the line."
Julie-Anne Donnachie // Building Facilities Manager, Sydney, Australia
“My biggest insight from the coaching with Markus is that I have started to apply more is: owning more my responsibility in my life by honouring my autonomy as a business owner and entrepreneur.
I am finding that I have more influence over the circumstances I am surrounded with and can move forward with supportive actions and decisions with creating and developing my coaching venture.
Thank you, Markus, for gifting me the space and the journey to deeply explore and work on my integrity towards becoming whole and complete both personally and professionally.
Your care, compassion, inquisitiveness together with your challenging and powerful questions, I was able to embrace and shine the light on my unique being with vulnerability, courage and authenticity.
I can now serve with greater higher purpose as a business owner and coach.”
