Leader Life Coaching | Luke Bunder Coaching

I started working with Luke because I was going through a lot of overwhelming feelings. I was really emotionally dysregulated and I wanted to be more in control of my thoughts, feelings and emotions in my life. I needed a helpful hand and guidance.With Luke I have experienced unconditional acceptance. Coming from a background of having abandonment issues this was important for me to experience with a coach/practitioner.Luke has been a safe space to learn and grow with. He has helped me understand that a bad day doesn't amount to being a bad person. Luke has been able to tell me some hard truths, help me work through them and guide me to take the learnings into my future.Luke has been very relatable to me personally. I have been able to tell Luke many stories about my life and he really gets me. Luke doesn't just ask probing questions to get information out of me. He is able to ask the right questions and then guide the conversation to help me achieve a broader perspective. He has given me manageable and constructive steps for me to change/alter some of my incorrect family of origin beliefs and actually change my life for the better. I can highly recommend Luke to anyone wanting to get more in control of their thoughts, feelings and emotions in their life.

Before starting with Luke, my daughter Lily was lacking self-trust and was self-sabotaging in her sports. She’d do really well and then find a reason to pull herself out of a practice or game. She also had challenges in Interpersonal relationships with teammates and coaches. She would put a lot of pressure on herself and convince herself that a coach or teammate doesn’t like her whether it was true or not.Through working with Luke, Lily built her mental/emotional resilience, enhanced her self-trust, and gained more confidence in soccer, and also outside of soccer. She has learned the cues of her self-sabotage and how to talk herself out of it. She now has the ability to get herself out of the downward self-sabotage spiral. She also learned how to work with and communicate with people she doesn’t like and has since turned some of those relationships into friendships.She has learned to work through minor bumps and bruises without sitting out. She has learned to push herself and not talk herself out of a practice or game. She understands that even if one coach might not favor her, another coach can see the good in her.I enjoyed Luke’s process of coaching. Prior to working with Luke, I had her working with a therapist and the therapist only told her good things about herself to try to build her up. But Lily needed more than that. She needed solutions, practical advice, and new ways of thinking and acting. This is what Luke provided.Luke helped Lily see things differently and would give her new actions each session to put into practice. He provided this in a personalized email at the end of each session which is very helpful. Lily can look back and read this whenever an issue arises.What I enjoyed about working with Luke is that he seemed to really understand Lily’s thoughts and has helped other girls in similar situations.I really liked the follow-up emails and plans he made for Lily. Lily likes to look back at these emails and plans, to help get herself back on track if needed. I like that Lily feels like she can email Luke her progress and wants to email him. I like that we can do a check-in session if Lily feels off, which resets her and helps her feel more confident.I recommend working with Luke, and I have already recommended him to friends of mine.

Before starting with Luke I had a lack of motivation, a lot of insecurity and anxiety because of low self worth.Working with Luke has given me a fresh perspective that has positively changed my view on things in my life. He has given me tools to use for things I need to work on and just having someone genuine to talk about things, to vent things and feel free to unload has really released a lot for me.I have made great progress in the first four sessions. I have definitely started down my path of self acceptance. I feel more motivated and energized, and I am much happier.Working with Luke is a different approach. I was able to open up to Luke about my past but we didn't just focus on that. Instead, Luke gets you focused on the present and helps you in opening up new ways to help you move forward in life. Luke is not afraid to challenge your beliefs and he asks good questions. Luke also provides a tangible summary of the whole session via email after each session which is a really valuable reminder to go back to throughout each week. Luke takes extra steps to over deliver.I think Luke provides a great service for people that have lost their spark, people that have lost their way a bit in life. For people who can't see the purpose of what they are doing or people that simply feel overwhelmed with what they're doing.Working with Luke doesn't feel as stuffy or analytical and I feel we are on the same level - he is not authoritarian in any way. Luke is non judgemental, genuine and relaxed. And he has this air of “I just want you to live your best life”. Luke just wants to help you get where you want to be.

Luke has worked as a mental/emotional resilience coach in our company for the past two years. We hired him to be a part of the business and it was one of the best decisions we have made.Luke helped so many of our clients go from overwhelmed, depressed, and anxious to joyful, confident, and high-performing.Luke has consistently helped our clients achieve outstanding results and we have been thankful to have him.Luke has also delivered fantastic workshops to our groups on self-esteem, overcoming performance anxiety, goal creation, developing high-performance self-talk, and mindfulness.Luke has been a pleasure to work with and we recommend him to anyone who is ready to make change in their life.

Before starting with Luke I was going through a psychological breakdown. Personally and professionally. I have dealt with mental health problems for a large majority of my life and with the additional stresses from covid (of working from home and homeschooling) I was really struggling.The benefits I experienced after going through a 6 week personal breakthrough program with Luke were profound. I came to realise how many limiting beliefs I had that were impacting my full potential and my future both personally and professionally.One of the biggest limiting beliefs I had was a belief that said “I am my mental illness” but now I know that I am so much more than a mental illness. Getting aware of this and replacing it with an empowering belief has changed a lot for me. I also discovered that I had social constraints holding me back from being who I truly wanted to be. I realised I was trying to be what people wanted me to be rather than who I truly am. I was holding myself back from making life decisions because I was stuck in the fear of what those closest to me might think.With Luke’s support I’ve also been able to identify my strengths and re-evaluate my idea of success. I'm more confident in myself and in my decisions as an adult. I've overcome the stress of worrying about what other people think of me and need me to be.Now I have stepped out of the fear and am living my life on my terms and… I am now engaged to my incredible partner!Luke’s coaching differs from other service providers in many ways. It was definitely a unique approach and much different from clinical providers.In a clinical setting, it's clinical. It's not wholesome or genuine. If you don't fit a box they don't know what to do with you. With Luke it was a free space, totally free of judgment. It is very personalised and in my program it was more about teaching me how the mind works and how to process things in a positive way.I recommend Luke’s coaching for anyone. It’s a very different, comfortable approach to what can be an uncomfortable experience especially when a person is feeling vulnerable. Luke is a really easy and genuine person to talk to. He was able to hold judgment free space, that made me feel safe and supportive to talk about the darkest parts of mental health.

Before meeting Luke I was experiencing a lot of anger and even hatred towards people. I was struggling to feel good about anything. Subconsciously I was looking for help but my ego was holding me back from actually asking for the support I needed. I saw Luke advertising on Facebook about mental wellbeing and with Luke's previous background in boxing I had a common interest straight away. So I reached out.The benefits I received were a game changer for me. Luke completely shifted my Mindset which allowed my personal life, relationships and my business to flourish. I enjoyed seeing results in myself and for the first time I actually loved myself.I would recommend Luke to anyone! So many people work on their bodys in the Gym but spend no time working in their mind. Mindset is KEY.And for anyone who is on the fence about getting support just know that If you keep sitting on the fence you will be stuck in the same place mentally until you stand up.

My wife and I came to Luke because my daughter was facing a lack of self-belief and confidence. She was comparing herself to others and had a lot of timidness. If something went poorly or if she was challenged in some way, instead of finding that inner self that would back her up, she would instead collapse. She had some emotional challenges and was nowhere near self-actualized. Who we knew she could be and who she was didn’t match.The progress she has made has been night and day. She can now make mistakes or get beat in her sports and she’s ok. She doesn’t compare herself to others like she used to, and she is really getting a solid idea of who she is, and where she is going. She has confidence in herself now.What I like most about the work with Luke is that the process is organic. I thought Luke would speak to her directly about confidence, but it didn’t start there. There were several other issues that needed to be dealt with first. A few weeks in, we were very surprised to find out that our daughter thought that when she didn't do well at something we didn't love her. That shocked both of us.It was nice to be a part of the process, to sit in the background while she worked with Luke. I enjoyed being able to work with Luke to make informed decisions about our daughter.We absolutely recommend Luke to others. We need more people like Luke who are willing to work with kids and help them out.

Before meeting Luke I was at a point in my life where I was stuck. I was in a negative headspace, I was trapped in a pattern of negative habits and beliefs and all I could see was suffering - I was suffering.I wasn't the person I wanted to be but I didn't know how to create the change that I needed alone. Meeting Luke was exactly what I needed at that point in my life. Luke is a fantastic mentor and mindset coach. I was able to share my experiences with him to create a meaningful change in my life. My development came in the form of mindset, positivity, redirection and healing.Working with Luke was easy - he's a relatable individual with real life experience and an authenticity about him that seems to stand out from other professionals. Sometimes no matter how much we want to help ourselves, it's just not quite enough and for that I'm glad I got the chance to work with Luke.

Before working with Luke I was struggling with depression and was often overwhelmed by everyday life tasks. Normal things were a struggle. The depression was putting a strain on every factor of my life. I was seeing a psychologist and on medication which was great but it wasn't enough. I needed the practical tools to help me with every aspect of my life, not just my mental state.Working with Luke has really helped me turn my life around. He gave me the knowledge and tools that I needed and didn't know how to get. My overall happiness and self-worth have gone up tremendously. I don't feel as anxious or stressed about little things like I used to be. Things aren't such a big deal anymore. I am able to do everyday tasks like normal again and even my financial life is much better because of the budgeting tools he helped me with.I enjoyed working with Luke because he really helped me think about things for myself. Therapy was good but the next steps were not there for me. Luke helped me put practical tools and processes in place so I can apply them to my life, to change my life. Now I have self-management skills and I can transfer them to every aspect of my life.I would absolutely recommend Luke to others. I already have recommended him to all my girlfriends at work :)

I sought coaching for two reasons, the vision and direction of my business, and my personal life with dating. Luke was able to help me with both.Luke is exceptional at holding space and asking powerful questions which allowed me to have my own ah-ha moments during sessions.Luke pays close attention to what you say and is extremely present as a human. I value that highly in any Coach and mentor I work with.I have gained so much clarity with the direction of my business and personal life since working with Luke. I have renewed energy and momentum in my business, and am finally enjoying life as a single woman. I am excited about, and looking forward to a new year!If you’re wanting an exceptional Coach to help facilitate needs of your business or personal growth, Luke's coaching would be perfect. I’ve worked with Coaches before, and he’s certainly one of the most skilled I've had the pleasure of working with.I couldn’t put a price on the shifts that I have experienced internally through working with Luke. If you’re thinking about his coaching, I can tell you now, you will not be disappointed.
