Martez is a exceptional coach and motivator. His down to earth approach has helped me in dealing with my P.T.S.D. as well as my marriage. Being a comedian and suffering from low self-esteem, Martez’s upbeat talks and his integrity has allowed me to carry on with my ministry of laughter. I recommended and fully endorse Martez Layton.

Martez conducted numerous career coaching sessions with my wife and I that are invaluable. He demonstrated an enormous degree of expertise and his advice was succinct but huge in actionable scope. He was very pragmatic and sensitive to my degree of understanding. In addition, his style was open and inviting to questions (and expressed appreciation for them) and willingly gave his time to responding to questions thoroughly. Martez is extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable about his work, which is infectious. I certainly would recommend him for anything that falls within his widely-diverse area of Life Coaching.

Martez gave me a wonderful coaching session. He was able to zero tight in on my brilliances and showed me the true value of what I have to offer. He was able to quickly identify a negative belief that I had been harboring for quite some time that I wasn’t aware of and helped me turn that around. I felt like he really understood me in the short time we talked and I came away with some new ideas for building my business that he suggested. I think Martez is a very caring, sensitive, and understanding coach who can bring out the best in people and I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Martez as a speaker, leader, and coach in the area of relationships. 

I have known Martez many years and have seen the deep, authentic, burning passion in his heart for individuals and their relationships. He has a wonderful sense of humor and is not afraid to use it. Martez has been courageous in his life, as well as in building his business. 

Anyone would be fortunate to work with Martez on a one-on-one basis, or engage him as a featured speaker.

Martez is dedicated to his mission that GOD has placed upon him. He's professional and very caring towards his clients. He is results focused, easy to talk to and non-judgmental. His life's experiences and foundation of faith have prepared him for his calling. I would highly recommend Martez to any group or individual.

I am in the process of divorce but not in this case it’s not a failure it is an opportunity for me to become all God is perfecting in me for my destiny partner. Without Martez's and Woodrina's invaluable guidance there is absolutely no way I could see it from this perspective. It started with marital counseling with both Martez and Woodrina and over the last ... 3 or so yrs. has become something completely different. They were a source of true bedrock in helping me to rebuild my personal foundation. I was stuck. I could not see past my then circumstances of pain and grief and complete stagnation. But God...things are clearer, lighter, full of potential and I can truly believe that joy does come in the morning and is renewed daily. Now with Martez as my life coach/God sent warrior angel I believe that I will fly again. Mounting up like eagles ready to do the dang thang. A true blessing.

When my husband told me he wanted a divorce in 2014 I thought we could work it out. But two months later when I confirmed he had been having an affair for several months I knew things were going to be much more difficult.

One day, while looking up cheating spouses on the internet I came across Coach Martez Layton and the Dream Builders Professional Coaching website. As I read through the website, I knew it was not an accident that I found Coach Martez. It was a God thing. 

Through the hardest part of my marriage, Coach Martez was there encouraging me. The things he said to me made so much sense and really put things into perspective.

My husband and I did not reconcile, but that’s okay, because “Me looks good!” This was the phrase Coach Martez gave me to encourage my emotional growth, and I keep it close to my heart because I know I have a whole life to look forward to. 

I am now in graduate school, and my chosen path is Social Work. I know I would not be here without Coach Martez’s love and support. He is my brother in Christ, and a friend!

Thank you Martez!

Coaches Martez and Woodrina Layton have coached me and my husband through the most painful experience of our life. After 20 years of marriage, I was shattered in discovering my husband's infidelity. During this time I sought help from clergy and family. No one was able to make me feel whole again. I was fortunate to find Coach Martez and Woodrina Layton on the Internet. Martez and Woodrina coached my husband and me during this crisis. They were impartial and they related their own story which helped my husband to feel comfortable enough to truthfully commit to the marriage coaching. 

Their non-judgmental approach coupled with their expertise and spiritual connection to God made the outcome powerful. I can honestly say that I don't know where we would be if I had not found Coaches Martez and Woodrina Layton. They not only saved our marriage but also gave me the strength and courage to know and understand my own worth. Martez is not only challenging and insightful, but also patient and understanding, with remarkable instincts and knowledge.

The skills and concepts we learned will be invaluable for the rest of our lives. Our experience was transformational, and our marriage was restored and empowered. My husband and I just celebrated our 33rd Anniversary. We realize that we never would have made it past that crisis without their coaching and direction. I was so inspired by Coach Martez Layton that I began to pursue becoming a Relationship Coach to help restore Marriages.

It is our honor and privilege to highly recommend Coaches Martez and Woodrina Layton. It is my opinion that they are the best in their field, our marriage is proof of that.
