TESTIMONIALS

"Positive Intelligence has been transformational for me. It allowed me to understand what was holding me back and provides a structure for decreasing the negative influences we allow to infiltrate our thought processes and therefore our lives. The course is designed in bitesize chunks to fit modern day life and focuses on building small habits using insightful practices to bring about positive change."

Steven Matsell,
CEO Leander Games

"Success is about maximising your potential and Marius certainly did that in his tennis career. Having played with and against Marius, it is apparent that hard work and determination led him to achieve great results. With these experiences, Marius has the ability to help many others to achieve success."

"Marius brings to his coaching a powerful combination of insight, empathy and skill. With his calm and encouraging demeanor, he builds trust and guides you towards and through a personal development plan which is always carefully designed for your particular needs. He examines with you who you are now, who you aspire to be and how to align your habits of thought, emotional response and behaviour with your aspirations.

From the many years he spent as a world class tennis professional he has developed a unique understanding of what it takes to consistently perform to the best of your ability. His excellent observational, analytical and listening skills enable him to help you to achieve your goals whether it's a matter of how you live your life or meet the daily challenges you face at work."

Dr David Langford BA, MA, DPhil, PGCE, Cert. Executive Coaching
"The extremely tough road to professional tennis and anecdotes from the professional game at the highest level provide the backdrop for this excellent presentation.

Locker Room Power is delivered with the tremendous focus and clarity that typify Marius’ approach to everything he does. Experience, maturity and intelligence are the hallmarks of the presentation that delivers lessons in personal success that are relevant to all aspects of life way beyond the tennis locker room and court.

This is thoroughly recommended to all who want to enquire into all aspects of personal performance, delivery and excellence."
