Kind words from people I've worked with.

Business owners, leaders and teams I've coached, mentored and trained, in their own words.

Coaching and mentoring

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.

Marcus is an exceptional mentor and business coach who has exceeded all my expectations. His course is really well planned out and in just the first few weeks I made strides with my business and personal development. I look forward to my weekly meetings with Marcus and can't recommend him highly enough.

Marcus is brilliant! With a breadth of experience both in life coaching and business, he is a great sounding board when exploring all areas of life. Not only does Marcus provide perspective and outlook to coach through to action he also challenges thoughts and feelings in an honest and constructive way. Regular catch ups bring positive energy and focus towards my goals!

I'll start by saying I have worked particularly hard on my personal development over the past 8 years and felt that it would be hard for any life/business coach to add any more value. However, I took a chance with Marcus because he took an interest in me and I can say that his course and systems took me by surprise and I was extremely impressed with the level of thought behind it all. I have had a great experience and it has already started the journey to that next level I was trying to get to. It's really just pieced it all together. Marcus is marvellous and genuinely knows his stuff. I would highly recommend him for anyone who is trying to grow as a person and in business!

Marcus has been coaching me for just over a year and it has been life changing on all fronts. My business/personal life was tracking along quite nicely prior to working with Marcus but he has shown me how to get so much more out of life than just doing ok!

Absolutely brilliant. I've been doing Marcus' coaching programme now for a mere few months and I'm already seeing big changes in my life and feeling hugely optimistic about what's to come. The custom portal that Marcus has built to accompany the sessions is in itself a wonderful and very well thought out tool for tracking progress and setting goals and actions. Exactly what a scatter-brained creative such as myself needs to keep track of things! Then on top of that, the one to one sessions with Marcus are always incredibly insightful, informative and inspiring as well as often just being a good laugh! Couldn't recommend his service enough!

This is the 5th month I am into the online course with Marcus and it has been revolutionary for both my personal development and the impact on the business. What I love the most is that changes are coming in areas where I didn't realise there were gaps, and filling those gaps with the guidance of my coach makes a huge difference. Another bonus is a regular boost of energy and motivation!

Talks, workshops and training

Marcus spoke at the Women in Project Management 2019 Conference last week and he was absolutely brilliant! His talk was both heartfelt and hilarious, and his energy on the stage epic! He managed to keep a room of circa 300 women hanging on his every word, shouting back answers to him and each one took away actionable insights on mindset they can apply to their lives immediately. I for one am practising the 7 Fantastic Days!

It's brilliant when you recommend someone and they are even better than you described (and that was a high bar to start with). Wonderful to be in the same room and watch your magic take effect on the team. The team thoroughly enjoyed your session and took a lot of inspiration from you. We talked a lot about magnificent thoughts on Thursday!

I attended a Presentation Skills day as part of the Clare Foundation Angel's Den and came away with lots of tools not only on how to present more effectively but also how to be more confident, manage stress and much more. Marcus is very personable with many, many interesting stories and is excellent at helping you to deliver your best. Thanks so much.

We invited Marcus to please run a charity workshop for our charity partners. The Top 10 Leadership Mindsets workshop was well attended by our charity partners across the UK. The feedback has already been wonderful. Marcus really knows how to deliver an engaging and impactful workshop, in the words of one of our charity partners, "He makes his knowledge and expertise very accessible to the learner, which is incredible!"

We were incredibly fortunate to have Marcus lead a full-day workshop focused on public speaking and crafting a compelling narrative for charity presentations. He generously gave up his time to support the event, and his delivery was clear, professional, and packed with valuable insights. The atmosphere he created was warm, supportive, and encouraging, perfect for learning and sharing. Attendees had the chance to engage on a 1-2-1 basis during the day, and he kindly offered ongoing support beyond the session. His expertise and generosity made a real impact, and we're truly grateful for his contribution.

Truly thankful to Marcus Thomlinson for leading such an engaging, insightful, and uplifting session. His wisdom and kindness created a space where ideas could grow and confidence could take root. I walked away feeling recharged, inspired, and deeply motivated to keep growing and making a difference.
