It takes time, patience and a sound strategy to build and grow a business in 2020. I help business owners, freelancers and other agency owners overcome the challenges of starting, growing and scaling their businesses online. I help coach 4 different types of people:

Visionaries 💭: You are at the beginning stages of starting up a brand. If you’re not sure who your ideal customer avatar is, you don’t have a funnel mapped out yet or you are in the early stages of growth, but have MASSIVE aspirations, this is you.
 
Innovators 🙌 : You are in the midst of developing, or who have developed, a new & innovative product. If you’ve got a product and want to be first to market, if you’re doing a pre-launch or you are looking to disrupt an industry, this is you.
 
Entrepreneur In-Momentum 🌊: You have been around the block in business. If you’re the CEO or Marketing director of an established company, you’re looking to expand your target market or enter the Facebook advertising space, this is you.
 
Let’s Scale This Puppy📈: You have the budget and the drive to scale their business to the moon. If you’ve got a business with proof of concept, you’ve consistently hit 5-figure months and you have the inventory and budget to scale, this is you.

Martin Seville Personal Development

As the Founder, Head Coach, Mentor and Trainer of Martin Seville Personal Development, I've brought together all the brands I've created under one roof.

Coaching through Empathy Coaching, Community through the Extraordinary Life Family and Breakthrough events through Extreme Confidence all come together within the toolbox available at Martin Seville Personal Development.

Keynote speaking and being a x6 author also fit neatly under this banner.

I'm passionate about Personal Development in all its forms, and introducing it to Leaders, Manager, Business Owners and Teams so they can live and work with passion and purpose.

So, together, let's go live our most Extraordinary Life, as the Hero of our Story ... and do it with Extreme Confidence!

Empathy Coaching

I founded the Empathy Coaching brand, after a 20 year career in Financial Services, with the aim to help Leaders and Managers in the corporate world deal with the stress and pressure of such roles and the corporate world itself.

Using my experience of not only working my way up the corporate ladder, but of the physical and mental toll it took, I have an empathy and perspective that is unmatched in this space.

What started as individual coaching, grew to online programmes such as ACT Like a Hero and Stressed Dad to Calm Dad, to embracing a rounded approach to support combining coaching, mentoring and training.

As an experienced coach, mentor and trainer I've now helped people on 3 continents turn things around and live the life they want ... from Managing Directors of global banks, Vice Presidents of financial firms and Mortgage Business Owners to Coaches, Singers and Actors.

So whether you're looking to write the next chapter of your life, take control of your work and time, reduce your stress, increase your confidence or follow a passion Empathy Coaching can help you do that.

BabySparks

Resident Coach and Trainer for the incredible BabySparks organisation who support over 7 million parents worldwide with all the challenges and questions of raising our children.

Coach and Trainer

Extraordinary Times

Extraordinary Times was a brand created specifically to showcase the support available from myself and trusted partners during the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Support revolved around Life, Wellbeing, Fitness, Money, Business and Edutainment.

The legacy of Extraordinary Time lives on in the worldwide online community it created: The Extraordinary Life Family. This continues to thrive as a central hub for world class Personal Development and Support.

The Empowerment Coaches

As the co-founder of this brand, we created a powerful collaboration of Empowerment Coaches that delivered workshops to improve the lives of Leaders, Managers and their teams.

Signature Workshops, hosted by myself and Samantha Hawkins, focused on Confidence, Focus and Authenticity.

Lloyds Banking Group

As a successful Marketing, Customer and Proposition expert in the Financial Services industry for 15 years, I was now responsible for supporting the customer needs and improving the proposition and service for all the millions of UK Investment and Pension customers across top brands such as Clerical Medical, Halifax, Bank of Scotland, Scottish Widows and Lloyds.

Proven success in team management and leading multi-brand customer and regulatory projects; I ultimately became the go-to Customer Loyalty and Retention expert responsible for ensuring millions of customers could make informed and timely decisions about their investments.  This was achieved through detailed financial and behavioural analysis to inform the development of new and improved processes, communications and call handling.  

Whilst ethically retaining millions of customers for banking brands, the consequent organisational profit ran into £billions of new business equivalent income year on year.  

My passion for customers extended to the engagement, motivation and wellbeing of colleagues. As leader of colleague led improvement plans, I'm proud of success in raising colleague engagement measures, against a backdrop of company, cultural and regulatory change.

Investment Proposition Manager

This role allowed me to bring all of my Customer and Communication experience to both Independent Financial Adviser and Bank customers, across all of Lloyds Bank brands, including Clerical Medical, Halifax, Private Banking, Scottish Widows and Lloyds.

My passion and experience was strongly needed as we entered a very difficult time for the economy and the Financial Services industry.  Customer communication and informed decisions were of paramount important.  

Creating and delivering a customer focused, industry leading new communication process and model for customers looking to withdraw their investments was both an incredible achievement and success, from both a Customer and Business viewpoint.  

This delivery led to me representing at industry bodies and writing of the Association of British Insurers' Best Practice Guide to investment communications.

Customer Loyalty Manager

Halifax and Bank of Scotland

This was a fantastic opportunity to use all my Customer knowledge and Communication experience to focus on Existing Customers who purchased investments via Independent Financial Advisers across several household brands.  

Ensuring Customers could access the right information, at the right time, so they could make informed decisions became a priority and passion that continued through the rest of my Financial Services career.  

Of critical importance was also bringing my experience of campaign measurement to this role.  Measurement was critical, to not only assess results but to inform strategic and tactical decisions.

Clerical Medical

This exciting opportunity started by creating and developing a brand new Direct Marketing department with a new Leader.  

I was responsible for creating all of the campaign and measurement systems, processes and documentation as well as customer communications.  Once set up I delivered both regulatory and promotional communication, whilst engaging with Independent Financial Advisers to partner on campaigns.  

The team was incredibly successful, and ultimately I became Department Manager from which point I used new Customer and Adviser opportunities with my high performing team to significantly improve results further.  This was recognised by my Top Achiever Award.

Direct Marketing Manager

Ecclesiastical Insurance Group

If you're passionate about personal growth and you're ready to overcome what’s holding you back - mentally, emotionally and practically - then we’re going to get along.

I’m a coach, speaker and Breakthrough facilitator with a simple mission:

> To help passionate solopreneurs, leaders and teams get out of their heads, get clear on what really matters, and stay on track to make it happen, both personally and professionally.

But I didn’t start here.

After 20 years in corporate leadership (from proof reader to being responsible for £billion portfolios), I hit breaking point. Depression. Burnout. Anxiety. The classic “on paper I was successful” story… while secretly struggling behind the scenes.

That breakdown, however, became my Breakthrough.

It reignited my passion for personal development and led me to create the kind of support I wish I’d had sooner.

Since then, I’ve had the privilege of being trained and mentored by world-class leaders such as Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi, and have coached and supported hundreds of people on their journey to the life and work they really want.

Today, I bring together personal development, strategic support, and powerful physical Breakthrough experiences to help people transform from the inside out.

A few ways I support people:

✅ 1:1 Coaching for Solopreneurs – get clarity, momentum and consistent progress on the things that matter

✅ Extreme Confidence Breakthrough Experience – a powerful 2-hour team or client event designed to shift beliefs and unleash new found courage (includes board & arrow breaking)

✅ Extraordinary Life Family – a free online community with weekly coaching to help you grow in every area of life

If you’re ready for your next Breakthrough, I’d love to connect.

Simply drop me a message.

Let’s create your most Extraordinary Life.

Too many conscientious professionals struggle with Workload and Working Hours. Of course it's not something we admit out loud, so we naturally work Harder and Longer to resolve it. Somehow, however, it's become a Fact - even a normality - of Life in the 21st century. 

My own journey, which includes 10 years of Depression and Generalised Anxiety Disorder, has demonstrated the dark and destructive path this can lead to. I refuse to let colleagues suffer in this way.

My Journey made it clear that my Life Purpose and Passion is to share My Story and Life Lessons with those that need it.  This is why I set up Empathy Coaching.

Using Empathy as the foundation of our relationship, I use all of my Experience and Knowledge in a creative way to Empower You.

Seeing Yourself as the Hero of Your Story is powerful.  You should not feel like the victim or reluctant participant in your own story; but for millions of professionals that's exactly how it feels.  

Empathy and Story is what sets me apart from other Coaches and you can access this exciting, liberating and inspiring experience on a 1:1 basis, in groups, online or in the workplace.

This experience is available for Individuals, Groups, Managers and Business Owners. Join my unique Hero's Journey Coaching Programme, let me inspire You, your Employees or event attendees from the stage, or partner with me to bring a grounded but Heroic quality to your wellbeing programme. 

When you realise Your Story has only just begun, anything is possible.
