SPEAKER
Maurice F. Martin is a transformational coach, motivational speaker, and author empowering leaders to overcome burnout, embrace purpose, and achieve success in life and leadership.
Maurice’s Turning Point: From Silent Struggle to Purpose-Driven Transformation
Maurice’s journey to becoming a transformational coach is deeply personal—rooted in his own battle with addiction, depression, and the quiet ache of hopelessness.
At the height of his outward success, he was silently unraveling. Appearances said he had it all—national TV music placements, awards, big stages—but inside, he was sinking. Addiction gripped him. Anxiety and depression clouded his every thought. And at his lowest point, suicide seemed like the only escape.
But rock bottom became the foundation for breakthrough.
In that place of pain, Maurice made a courageous decision: to stop suffering in silence and seek the healing he desperately needed. That bold step toward vulnerability changed everything.
Fueled by a renewed sense of purpose, Maurice became a certified addiction counselor and earned multiple coaching certifications. Today, he equips leaders, professionals, and purpose-driven individuals to break free from burnout, confront their inner battles, and rediscover what truly matters.
His mission is simple but life-changing: to help you shift from surviving to thriving—emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and professionally.
Because when you heal what’s hurting, you unlock who you were born to be.
