“Rob Martin’s coaching services supported me through one of the most demanding periods I’ve faced – navigating complex personal matters while pushing ahead with my commercial venture, not by staying on the tracks, but by redefining them.
Rob’s experience under pressure was pivotal. His coaching framework helped me remain contained, make clear decisions, and avoid becoming reactive when multiple high-stakes issues were unfolding at once. Rather than pulling back when it got uncomfortable, I stayed in it and did the hard work, even when it stretched me and that’s where the real growth happened.
What I value most is that Rob doesn’t just help you get through difficult situations, he helps you extract the growth from them. His oversight and perspective allowed me to hold tension, work through challenges concurrently, and emerge with greater clarity, resilience, and confidence in my own capacity.
I would recommend Rob’s coaching to anyone navigating complex or high-pressure professional environments who wants to stay aligned, grounded, and capable while doing meaningful work.

“Working with Rob Martin through Akasa Coaching’s high-performance leadership course was a pivotal step in my journey toward personal growth and career fulfilment. I’d been stuck in the safety of full-time employment, avoiding the risk of self-employment despite my ambitions.

What stood out most was Rob’s teaching styIe: deeply supportive, insightful, and adaptive. In our one-on-one sessions, he truly listened, tailored the program to my needs, and became a trusted sounding board for working through challenges. The tools he shared – especially the communication flowchart for navigating resistance, building congruence to quiet internal chatter, the taws of exchange to focus on value add, and choosing aesthetic over anaesthetic communication – gave me a clear framework for lasting change.

Since completing the course six months ago, the impact has been profound and ongoing. I’ve welcomed starting a family, tied up loose ends with a side venture that was stagnant, left the safety of full-time employment, started a new business (including acquiring two GP clinics), and about to move states from QLD to Tasmania. My confidence has increased, my mindset is stronger, and I now lead proactively – preferring progress over stagnation.

Rob’s reminder that we ‘ignore our awareness at our own peril’ resonates daily. This course is invaluable for anyone – executives, entrepreneurs, or those on the cusp of chasing their dreams – seeking real improvement.”
