"Your Survival Strategies are Killing You!  will be required reading for anyone I work with.  In these pages, Martha captures and demystifies the beliefs that you think will drive your success and ultimate happiness, but she shows you that in order to grow into your potential, you have to first change yourself; your self-perception and your self-seeking behaviors.  Can a single book fix all of your company’s problems?  Probably not.  But can you fix all of your company’s problems without the principles in this book?  Definitely not!”

"Martha provided me a much needed "life-jacket" as I was "drowning" in my personal and professional life. Through her mentoring style and friendship she had me understand who I am and how I could gain control of my life. Thanks to Martha I have gained balance in my life..... I am again excited about work and the interactions with my colleagues, and more importantly I have reconnected with my Family. I strongly recommend you embrace and commit to Martha's principles they will certainly help you understand the world around you and how you can be in control of your destiny."
