"A quick thank you seems so inappropriate for the amazing improvements that I have experienced in the quality and balance of my life with Marcus Straub’s help. I must tell you, since having been introduced to Marcus and applying his methods, I know that I am an all around better person, no doubt. My personal to business life balance is healthy and I feel empowered. Every day is a new opportunity, and I am so grateful for all that I have accomplished and excited for all that is to come!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Marcus!" — Sherri Brown

"I brought Marcus Straub in as a Business Coach for my staff and myself. By removing all barriers and creating a safe environment where anyone can say anything without reprisal, he helped us build teamwork and focus on specific goals for both the business and each member personally. I saw my staff transform before my eyes. Productivity increased, sales volume increased, morale was always high, and our clients and business partners took notice!" — Jim Smith

"Marcus has applied his relentless positive approach, helping students to visualize their strengths and to challenge their weaknesses. My students can spot insincerity a mile away, and Marcus not only passes their litmus test, he engages the students in productive applications of their learning within literally a minute. By being realistic and positive, Marcus helps students to learn the important lessons necessary to be successful. I find his approach dynamic and the results immediate." — Al Kreinberg, R-5 High School

"Marcus leads by example, which is perhaps his defining feature. He is a skillful life communicator, who asks the right questions, pays attention and gives incredible feedback. Marcus is gentle in receiving what I see, what I fear, what I hope, but he also holds me accountable. Marcus works with those he comes to know, to not just take the time to identify what would make life more fulfilling, but to also make it happen. Marcus is willing to help, but he endeavors to assist all of us in becoming our own advocate in this life, and that´s a powerful perspective with which to interact with the world. " — Rebecca Teitelbaum

Marcus gently, loving and skillfully helped me to discover my true self. Thank you, Marcus, for helping to make my life whole and complete." — Todd Hoyt

"It’s difficult to put in words how much impact Marcus has had on my life. Personally, professionally, and spiritually, I’m in a better place than EVER before in my life. I’m happier, more content, and have real peace and balance.  Life truly is GREAT. Thank you Marcus!!" — Kenny Chapman

"From the moment I met Marcus, I knew I had happened upon one of the most well-balanced, honest and trustworthy people I have met in a long time. I have never felt that Marcus has any hidden agendas or alternative motives. In the past year, I have worked with Marcus a great deal and have developed a great respect for his ability to work with all types of people. I truly believe that Marcus cares about the people around him. He does his best to help everyone he meets; a rare quality today.

"Thank you Marcus, for everything you have done for me, with me" — Keith Hutcheson

"I had come to a point in my life where I knew I needed some help. I didn't want the lay down on a couch shrink kind of help, but I really needed someone else to help me get through the depressing self-sabotaging feelings I had. A friend of mine encouraged me to meet with Marcus. Hesitant but knowing something had to be done I met for the free consultation.

Marcus has such a warm, inviting, and say anything persona about him it was easy for me to share with him my feelings. He was a breath of much needed fresh air. I began working with Marcus and saw my life turn around. Not in a miracle kind of way, but one where I was the person in the driver's seat. I was making decisions I couldn't make before, moving my life in a positive direction and reaping the benefits of it. Marcus gave ME the tools to change my life. Instead of being a victim of nearly every person and situation, I was able to see from a different perspective that let ME choose my own path. The rewards were incredible!

You might say to yourself, "But I can't afford to see someone right now". For me, the truth was "I can't afford NOT to see Marcus right now". It wasn't all about the nominal fee; it was about regaining my individual power back. — Jim Smith

"What would it be like to wake up and find that you did not dread the coming day, but looked forward to it? If you found yourself smiling at strangers as you passed them, or looked in the mirror and thought simply that you were wonderful? Imagine if you had the power to gather up your whole world, your life, and to shape it and change it like clay, and create out of it something profound, something beautiful and unique. It sounds like a modern age fairy tale, but I assure you it is not. This is what Marcus offers us.

"I have watched Marcus persistently and compassionately work, day by day, week by week, month by month, to encourage, support, and counsel myself, my mother, and the business I am employed at to heights I often wondered if any of us were capable of achieving.

"In my work, Marcus has helped create a system of support and communication that I’ve never seen in a business before. He helped bring us together to achieve real communication and real camaraderie, be more creative and driven in our work and goals and experience less stress and more satisfaction in our work.

"I’ve had the privilege of working with Marcus personally as well, and the least I can say is that I am forever grateful. He truly encourages and supports all of us reaching our potential, creating our own happiness, empowering us to be the best of ourselves. Never again will I be happy operating on “auto-pilot”, being alive but not really living.

"Most impressive, to me, are his achievements with counseling my mother. A woman I’ve spent my lifetime trying to help, trying to change, trying to fix, whom I love and admire but had lost all hope for, has spent a year working with Marcus, and in that year I’ve seen her affect changes in herself that I had given up hope of ever seeing. She’s become more confident, less self-condemning, happier and less afraid. Finally, a woman so full of love and life has started to come back to herself and the world.

"These changes happen because Marcus has the gift of showing us how to create them. We all have challenges, personal demons that weigh on us and tear us down, but they do not have to be our future. I encourage anyone, for any reason big or small, to dig down deep inside themselves and find the courage (it’s connected to Hope) to take the leap, like I did. You may find yourself on a journey that, while you never imagined, you always hoped for." — Jennifer Goodwin

"Since I've come to know Marcus Straub, I can honestly say that he has become one of the greatest influences in my life. He not only taught me the value of self-worth, but also opened my mind to all the possibilities I had, which gave me peace of mind and hope for the future. Marcus has become and always will be a great friend of mine!!" — Daniel Creek

"It seems kind of ironic to me that we have coaches for our golf swing, and that we can realize the importance of continuing with future lessons in order to improve our golf game. But we don't put the same amount of energy into what's most important; our game of life.

"Marcus Straub has enriched my life in so many ways that I cannot give him enough credit or thanks.

"To break it down to the basics, Marcus has given me many tools to help me in my journey through life; tools that really work. Marcus makes it enjoyable to learn the process of using the tools he's given me.  He does this in a non-judgmental and encouraging way, while pointing out the obvious of staying focused and honed.

"It’s hard to put into words how much Marcus has changed my life, both personally and professionally. Marcus has helped me to realize that what I want in life is not far out of reach if only I believe in myself. When I first came to Marcus, I was unable to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I felt lost and needed help finding direction. With Marcus’s coaching, I was able to see things differently. I started looking at obstacles/challenges more positively and realizing, why resist it when ultimately things change, that’s a part of life. I also learned that if you want others to respect you, you must first learn to love and respect yourself. I will be forever grateful to Marcus for his powerful words and motivation I so desperately needed." — Kara Bailey

"Marcus sincerely cares for his clients. He has changed my life for the better. I feel like I am more aware of my feelings now, whereas before I just reacted, right or wrong.

"I knew from the first time I met Marcus that he was different! Marcus is one of the most sincere, and kind people I have met. He listened to me pass blame, and more times than I'd like to admit, get on that pity pony. Nevertheless, he listened and he guided me with a firm but compassionate hand. Marcus has the ability to reach anyone’s level, and to be right there with you in all your garbage, all the while, bringing out the beauty and awe that is your life within. Marcus, you will always be my constant gardener. All my thanks to you my friend!" — Pam Johnson
