My Clients Reviews

As a former senior executive of a major European bank and a Senior Manager for over 20 years I was given access to some of the best and most prestigious training courses available at some of the top universities in Europe. It is without a trace of hyperbole that I would rank the coaching that I received from Thomas De Brun as being the most effective I’ve had. It goes without saying that Thomas is extremely well qualified and a master of his craft, what differentiates him from his marketplace are his interpersonal skills. Thomas has the ability to really listen and understand what his clients are doing or not doing and to highlight or coax them into realizing the more productive path. As someone who was initially a little sceptical that new approaches or angles to the issues I was facing could be found, I was genuinely impressed by Thomas's ability to reexamine, disect and simplify problems to find workable solutions. I would have no hesitation recommending Thomas as an executive or a life coach. He is an excellent example of what his industry should be.

I’ve been working with Thomas for almost a year now. Never would I’ve expected what immense impact his coaching would have on my life, professionally and privately. With Thomas’ methods I found a purpose for myself and created a vision for my future self. Thomas teaches a unique approach to being a great leader. From which my whole team is clearly benefiting. We not only generated more quality output and increased efficiency, but the whole team is even visibly happier at work. I was already leading a great team. Now I’m leading an excellent team of visionary thinkers! His coaching also helped me to collaborate with other colleagues across multiple levels a lot better. Thomas really understands how to work with people. I improved my negotiation skills which I now apply every day, whether in discussions with clients, partners or my boss. My presentations improved a lot where I thought was already little room thanks to Thomas’ coaching on how to prepare for big meetings and storytelling. Learned a lot about mindfulness and meditation from Thomas. Before that I never understood what inner peace really means. Now I can stay calm in any situation that my day might bring to me. The greatest benefits are the massive improvements in my personal productivity. Thomas equipped me with a full arsenal of tools and advice to increase efficiency at work and in all aspects of life. This brought me forward a lot in achieving my personal goals. Thomas cares a lot about personal health. Mentally and physically. He has found the answers to what to eat, how to work out and how to sleep, to stay young and healthy. And the best part is, he’s sharing every single bit of his knowledge openly. Plus, he’s living a lifestyle that promotes happiness for himself and the people around him. With many years of experience as a headhunter Thomas also helps with career design with invaluable advice on topics like building a network, preparing for interviews and negotiating salaries.

I am Irish and I chose the Irish Wolfhound because it is seen as a powerful symbol of strength and courage, with its majestic stature and noble presence. This breed has been revered for centuries by people around the world, who have seen it as an embodiment of spiritual power and a totem of protection.

The Irish Wolfhound is believed to bring good luck, wisdom, and guidance to those who keep them as pets or guardians. Its impressive size makes it an imposing figure that can be used to ward off danger or evil spirits from entering one’s home or property or business.

I decided to choose the Irish Wolfhound as my company logo as it stands as an emblem of nobility, grace, and cultural significance, embodying a majestic presence that transcends mere physical stature to take on a deep spiritual connection to my birthplace.

I was also born in the Year of The Dog in Chinese Astrology and now that I live in China it also seemed a good way to connect my East West history.

 Revered for centuries, this noble breed has woven itself into the tapestry of Irish history and folklore, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of those captivated by its regal demeanor.

In ancient Ireland, the Irish Wolfhound was esteemed not only for its imposing size and strength but also for its unwavering loyalty and gentle disposition. Revered as the companion of kings and nobles, these magnificent hounds symbolized power, prestige, and protection. Their presence at the side of their masters lent an aura of majesty and authority, solidifying their status as cherished members of the royal court.

Beyond their role in the aristocracy, Irish Wolfhounds held a revered place in Irish culture, often depicted in myths, legends, and literature as symbols of valor, loyalty, and resilience. Tales abound of their heroic exploits and unwavering devotion, further cementing their legacy as legendary figures in Irish folklore.

The cultural impact of the Irish Wolfhound extends far beyond the shores of Ireland, resonating across borders and inspiring admiration and reverence worldwide. Their majestic beauty and gentle demeanor have captured the hearts of countless admirers, while their noble lineage and rich history continue to fascinate and intrigue.

Today, the Irish Wolfhound remains a cherished breed, revered not only for its physical prowess but also for its grace, dignity, and unwavering loyalty. As ambassadors of nobility and tradition, these magnificent hounds serve as living reminders of Ireland’s rich heritage and enduring legacy, leaving an indelible imprint on the hearts of all who encounter them.
