About Me
Marcus Thompson
The Journey That Led to TranceAtlantic
I didn’t set out to become a mindset coach. Like many of you, I spent decades navigating the demands of corporate life, building expertise, and balancing professional ambitions with personal responsibilities. For over 35 years, I’ve been immersed in the business world, mostly in senior sales and management roles within enterprise IT. I’ve experienced the highs of exceeding targets, the challenges of leading teams through uncertainty, and the constant pressure to deliver results in competitive environments.
Turning Points
A few years ago, I found myself at a crossroads familiar to many accomplished professionals. I wasn’t ready to step away from meaningful work, but I knew there was something more I could offer than simply continuing on the same path.
Two experiences fundamentally shifted my perspective:
First, I began volunteering as a Samaritans listening volunteer. What started as a way to “give back” quickly became a profound lesson in the power of truly listening without judgment or rushing to offer advice. I witnessed how creating space for someone to explore their thoughts could lead to the first steps forward from often desperate situations.
Second, I experienced the transformative effects of solution-focused hypnotherapy firsthand. The experience was so impactful that I pursued professional training in the field, becoming a fully qualified clinical hypnotherapist.
Why This Matters For You
These experiences taught me something crucial that informs everything I do at TranceAtlantic: The most effective catalyst for change isn’t found in more information, strategies, or techniques—it’s found in accessing our innate capacity for clarity and insight differently.
Many executives, creatives, and professionals I work with don’t lack knowledge or experience. They’ve read the books, attended the seminars, and sometimes implemented the strategies. They often miss a way to quiet the mental noise that prevents them from reconnecting with their inherent capabilities and wisdom.
I combine decades of business experience with rigorous training in clinical hypnotherapy. This unique blend allows me to understand the real-world challenges you face while offering a scientifically-grounded methodology for mental fitness that goes beyond conventional coaching approaches.
I don’t work with everyone. My clients tend to be accomplished individuals uninterested in quick fixes or motivational pep talks. They’re looking for something more substantial—a partnership that respects their intelligence and experience while offering a different path forward.
Beyond work, I’m a father of four grown children when not working with clients. The lessons I’ve learned from raising a family have been as valuable as any professional training in teaching me about patience, perspective, and what truly matters in life.
If my approach resonates with you, I’d welcome a conversation about how TranceAtlantic® might support your goals—whether reclaiming your professional edge, finding greater balance, or simply performing at your best without the cost to your well-being that often accompanies high achievement.
