What EXECUTIVES say about Martha as an executive coach
Is Everyone Ready for Executive Coaching with Martha?
No. Martha will only work with those individuals who choose to be coached and who declare and demonstrate their commitment to raise the bar on their own performance. It is critical that the individual is personally willing to discover new ways to be effective and successful.
Who Has an Executive Coach?
Anyone who wants to be their best. The most successful and powerful leaders, athletes and performers have personal coaches. They don’t see it as “I have to ask for advice.” They see it as “I am going to be my best at this thing.” They are willing to do whatever it takes to make the vast amounts of money, get re-elected, win at Wimbledon, etc. This kind of commitment drives them to say, “I want a coach right now!”
Martha’s Coaching Methodology
Executives are complicated people with demanding careers. They need sophisticated methods to achieve change. After 28 years of working with thousands of people, Martha has developed many innovative techniques that have produced significant and enduring shifts in an executive’s ability to manage people, and organize time for a balanced life while achieving greater results. Martha’s approach is based on a combination of feedback: 1) by using powerful 3600 instruments and other assessment tools, 2) the use of an encouraging coaching style that is focused on understanding the executive’s framework of thinking and values that influence his/her decision making and 3) the application of a series of learning tasks designed to create breakthrough in the executive’s competence and capability.
Who Benefits?
In the old style of corporate America, managers managed, directors directed, presidents presided and hierarchical relationship reigned. Today, however, companies are looking for new ways of interacting in the corporate arena. The key now is empowerment. Develop your people, help them identify their growth and development areas and then coach them through existing challenges so they are more self-sustaining, independent, capable, confident employees. In the executive coaching process, Martha will not only coach the executive, but he/she will be coached on how to coach others. Everyone wins.
What are Martha’s Credentials?
Unlike most consultants and coaches you will meet, Martha has worked on both sides of the desk. She has been significantly involved in the personal and professional development training field for 28 years and has guided thousands of people as well as entire companies to reach significant levels of success. In addition, she has been the Founder and President of four successful companies. She knows what it takes to start at ground zero, build an organization one step at a time and then sell it for a sizeable profit. She has worked with CEOs, Presidents and executives at all levels. She is a no-nonsense, get-to-the-point kind of person who doesn’t like to waste her time or energy on the unnecessary. Pragmatic in her approach, she believes that results don’t lie. She is sensitive to people and likes them. Her superb interpersonal skills allow her to cut to the core of any issue with efficiency. She believes anything is possible if you are: 1) willing to find out what it takes and 2) willing to do what it takes. She spends no time on self-limiting thinking. Her commitment and loyalty to her clients is unsurpassed.
