Ferrell Marshall

"I now understand more fully that storytelling isn’t just a skill. It is a lifeline"

Ferrell Marshall · Performance Coach · Spring Hill, United States
In the midst of taking Speaking and Influence Mastery, I came very close to dying. Early September, I was celebrating the upcoming arrival of a new baby in our cul-de-sac. Days later, COVID hit. Then the rebound. Then pneumonia. But something still wasn't right; I kept getting worse. After two ER visits, I was finally…
Farheen Husain

I don't need to give myself away to be worthy of love or abundance

Farheen Husain · Performance Coach · Lisbon, Portugal
I realized that I had learned to feel safe by giving - giving time, energy, effort, care - but I didn't feel equally safe receiving. Somewhere along the way, I had linked worth to effort and ease to danger... I don't need to give myself away to be worthy of love, belonging, or abundance. This challenge didn't turn me into someone new. It helped me come home to myself.
David Janzen

By the end of the 13 weeks, I had lost over 50 lbs and my waist dropped by 5 inches!

David Janzen · Performance Coach · Montreal, Canada
My initial reason for joining the program wasn't to lose weight (albeit a wonderful 'side effect') but rather to get my mindset 'reset' to fully understand my relationship with food... by the end of the 13 weeks, I had lost over 50 lbs and my waist dropped by 5 inches! All done in a healthy way.
Jindriska Gaborova

“I stopped dreaming about my business — and finally launched it”

Jindriska Gaborova · Performance Coach · Pribram, Czech Republic
Before this Quest, I knew I wanted to build my own business, but I felt stuck between ideas and action. I spent too much time overthinking, researching, and waiting until everything felt perfect. Deep down, I knew fear and self-doubt were slowing me down. The reason I enrolled in this Quest was because I wanted…
Joe DeSantis

"I learned a very deep level of emotional connectedness"

Joe DeSantis · Performance Coach · Middletown, United States
Prior to joining my Mindvalley CLC Certification Program, I thought I knew myself quite well in the way of personal growth and development that I had embarked on some time ago. Working through the program, I learned how deep a person could go to further improving their life and learning various technical nuances in…
Donald Gupton

“My nervous system became more regulated”

Donald Gupton · Performance Coach · Boise, United States
Before I started the Mindvalley Hypnotherapy program, I had already experienced the power of hypnotherapy firsthand. I had worked with a hypnotherapist myself, and the impact was profound. So when I enrolled, my intention was clear: I wanted to add another high-level tool to better serve the athletes and entrepreneurs…
Birte Kattelmann-Jagdt

"I feel equipped to hold space not just with structure, but with compassion and curiosity"

Birte Kattelmann-Jagdt · Performance Coach · Dusseldorf, Germany
Before this Quest my life was… …driven by impact. I was investing in bold ideas, coaching mission-driven founders, and helping green tech scale. But I knew I could go further - not by doing more, but by being more. After taking this Quest I feel… …more grounded in my role as a coach. I have a stronger inner compass…
Susann

This course should be a fundament in anyone's communication and conversation

Susann · Performance Coach · Magdeburg, Germany
Before this program I was an insecure Story TELLER - now I am ABLE TO SHOW my STORY. During this course I was able to do self-development mirror work, to strengthen my self-esteem, to be able to show up authentically and to SPEAK TO INSPIRE no longer to speak to impress. This course should be a fundament in anyone's…
Gayatri Nehrusingh-Pajerowski

"This program moved far beyond techniques. It invited a deeper awareness"

Gayatri Nehrusingh-Pajerowski · Performance Coach · Sparta, United States
Alignment changes everything. I recently completed Manifesting Mastery 2025, expecting insight; however, I experienced a level of inner clarity that felt like reconnecting with a part of myself I hadn't realized I had set aside. I entered this experience curious. I emerged grounded, connected, and attuned to who I am…
Alexandre Heinrichs

"This holistic approach has significantly improved client outcomes, making their success stories"

Alexandre Heinrichs · Performance Coach · Geneva, Switzerland
Before this program, I was a seasoned coach with a strong mental fitness and business performance background, yet I felt something was missing. I noticed that despite various strategies, my clients were often held back by underlying health issues that weren't addressed through traditional coaching methods alone. Thanks…
Alies Rose

"I’ve shifted my focus to becoming a hypnotherapist for all performers"

Alies Rose · Performance Coach · Amsterdam, Netherlands
Before joining the program, I simply wanted to add a 'mindset' component to my practice - something extra I could offer the singers I was already working with, maybe even create a few programs for them. I was hoping to pick up a couple of insights I didn't know yet. But the program completely blew me away. During the…
Rasheed Lewis

"This course has transformed the way I think and do business"

Rasheed Lewis · Performance Coach · Cape Town, South Africa
Before this program I operated mostly on what I thought needed to be the next most obvious step without much understanding or knowledge. Thanks to this program I am able to operate within a structure that will and have already guaranteed me improved services and clients. This course has transformed the way I think and…
