Excel, Grow and Succeed in
your Business

Coaching, consulting and training to help
business leaders build successful companies and great teams.

Equipping leaders with the critical human and interpersonal skills needed to excel, connect and inspire.

Services

Whether you are scaling your business or a leading in a corporate environment,
my coaching, consulting and training services are built on two critical pillars for sustainable business success:
Leadership Development and People & Culture

Leadership Development

As new companies scale or established companies evolve, leadership development is crucial for long-term success. My programmes help both new and established leaders to drive their businesses forward with confidence and impact.

People & Culture

Leading and managing people is complex. Unchecked conflicts and misaligned values can create lasting damage. My programmes equip leaders with the skills and awareness needed to develop a culture and teams where people perform at their best and thrive.

Who am I?

Over a 20+ year corporate career, I have held various senior in-house roles in investment banks and technology companies, in Germany and London working with C-suite teams and leaders in blue-chip companies, start-ups and scale-ups before setting up a successful Marketing and PR agency in London. In 2020, on my return from a 2-year cycling adventure from London to New Zealand, I undertook a MSc in Applied Positive and Coaching Psychology – the science behind how and why people function at their best. I now use this knowledge to help unlock the power of people – at organisational, team and individual levels.

What My Clients Say

Martina ran a workshop for us on ‘building a behavioural framework’ at an internal leadership conference, which we wanted to make relevant to our organisation’s vision and values. Martina’s expertise and guidance in the preparation and during the workshop were both excellent! The workshop felt very personal to the people in the room. It was encouraging to see some of senior business leaders talking about different ways we can collaborate, communicate and share success. We came away with some valuable ideas and actions to take forwards. Martina provided detailed feedback from the workshop and some further actions to consider which will help inform our leadership development strategy.

Sarah Fox, Chief Operating Officer, Hyphen

In her role as my executive coach, Martina is the voice of business experience, a trusted confidante and a respectful challenger. She is an excellent listener and acts as a resourceful aid to help me synthesise my thinking and stay connected to the ‘wider picture’ focus. Ideas or trains of thought that I have been mulling but not found enough time to fully consider are always more refined/targeted after a session with Martina. I always look forward to our sessions and leave every time feeling energised, knowing that I have gained new personal learning and insights as well as valuable takeaways that benefit my organisation. Martina is an excellent coach – and I would highly recommend!

Neil Edmond, Chief Executive Officer Corserv Solutions Ltd & EAB Chair HMP Channings Wood

Moving into a new role comes with many new challenges; one of which is new team members and their integration into the current team. Martina’s coaching provided a safe and open environment where I could discuss these challenges. She really listened, often challenging my ideas to help me gain different perspectives and think about alternative methods and approaches to align the teams, ultimately helping me successfully transition into the new role. I wholeheartedly recommend Martina to provide coaching, challenge and guidance as I think the sessions will really enable me to continue to grow as a manager and allow my team, both current and new, to grow as well.

Rob Wybrow, Operations Director, PIL Membranes Ltd
I came to the process a bit sceptical about what benefits coaching could provide, but Martina was highly instrumental in helping me think through some of the fundamental issues I have around setting priorities and my working practices. She helped bring clarity to my own thoughts and to put in place some things to try which are proving successful. I thoroughly recommend Martina to those considering coaching sessions
Ray Crudgington, Managing Partner, Grant Saw Solicitors, London

Coaching with Martina has been a gamechanger for me in terms of helping me accelerate towards my business and personal goals in an actionable way. I have gained a much clearer vision of what I need to focus on and the practical strategies I need to achieve these goals. The sessions have also helped me refine my time management skills, allowing me to work more efficiently while maintaining a healthier work-life balance.

One of the biggest takeaways has been learning how to prioritise effectively – cutting through the noise and focusing on what truly moves the needle in my business. Martina provided the accountability I needed and challenged my thinking around my current ways of working so that I could start to do things differently.  Since working together, I have seen a measurable improvement in my performance, decision-making, and overall productivity. I can honestly say that coaching with Martina is an investment that delivers superb results!

Martina and Nic delivered a great strengths training workshop that got the entire team engaged. As well as the personal boost of identifying our individual strengths, knowing how to leverage them in the workplace and strength-spotting is others has been a game-changer for many of us. We hope to run more workshops like this going forward.
Anon, Training Manager, UK Company
Working with Martina was both challenging and rewarding. She helped me think through different approaches to my many work challenges and to consider different perspectives. She was insightful and able to analyse my key challenges by really listening to what I said. Her indepth and often challenging questions helped me recognise my own potential and empowered me to focus on taking action in the areas I wanted to improve.
Amanda Sherratt, Customer Service and Logistics Manager, Eternis Fine Chemicals
I found my coaching sessions with Martina extremely positive, not only in helping me identify, clarify and frame my professional development objectives, but also in the insights and reflections I got from each session. The sessions gave me space to think about challenges from new angles and consider the strengths I bring to my organisation and my team, which I found both rewarding and beneficial.
Kalpa Prajapati, Partner, Grant Saw

Coaching with Martina has been a great way to synthesise multiple thought-processes and helped me take action and move forward in certain areas of my life where I felt I lacked the clarity to make a clear decision. She really created a space to help me make sense of my thinking – and as someone with ADHD, this has been invaluable. Responding to her questions and hearing back how I articulated different scenarios or perceived obstacles really helped challenge my thinking and beliefs in a non-judgemental way, and ignited new insights for me. She also joined the dots to help me see links where I couldn’t! I definitely have a different sense of purpose now and would highly recommend for anyone looking to make changes in their work or personal lives – no matter how big or small, having a ‘thinking partner’ like Martina will definitely be of tremendous benefit.
