Nice things people have said…

"Martine has been a fantastic coach for my team member, sharing a wide variety of productivity strategies and very clear advice. Her coaching has not only increased the confidence and ability of my colleague, it also included actionable steps that made a big difference in a short time. I can only recommend Martine’s calm and systematic approach, and her impeccable professionalism."

Manager, RHS (Royal Horticultural Society)
"During our coaching sessions, Martine helped me to focus on achievable and realistic goals. I decided that health and wellness were key areas for me, and that's what we worked on. Martine's approach included active listening and summarising. I did a lot of the talking, and between us, we developed and agreed on my goals, all of which I still practice to this day. Our sessions were enjoyable, positive, and affirming. Martine has a knack for drawing out information and listening. It was a very worthwhile experience."

Charles Evans, Deputy Chief Risk Officer, Private Bank
“Martine helped me find definition during a very chaotic time. Through her brilliant coaching, I have been able to set and then achieve goals with my work that I had felt stuck and frustrated with. Our coaching sessions even helped me balance everyday life issues. Martine creates a very easy and personable space and is engaging and insightful. I fully recommend her coaching.”

Chris Nowicki, Clinical Manager, NHS
“I've set goals in the past but struggled with achieving them. I realise now that it is because I did not have a way to check in on my progress regularly—I was not keeping my goals visible. Martine's coaching has helped me to understand the importance of systems. I feel confident, for the first time in a long time, that I will smash my goals this year. Thank you.”

Rachel Guilbert, Library and Information Services Manager, Education
“The Society for Education and Training (SET) has worked regularly with Martine on a number of occasions over many years, tapping into her expertise to deliver a variety of very well-received CPD webinars. Martine is always well-prepared, brings an interesting and fresh approach, and can engage and connect with her audience. Feeback is always positive; delegates clearly relate to Martine and enjoy her presentation and facilitation style.”

Jane Jones, Head of Membership and Accreditation, Society for Education and Training
“Martine, you have a great presentation style and nicely paced speaking that let me follow along and absorb the information you shared. I found the presentation logical and appreciated the slides. Including the systems you use was one of the most important aspects for me because people often talk about "how" to organise but don't provide the systems to help achieve that.”

Liz (The Guernsey Scientist)
“Martine's continued quest for knowledge means her talks are packed with facts and useful information combined with an easy and engaging manner that makes her so easy to listen to. Honest, humorous and not afraid to tackle tough subjects, Martine is a thought-provoking speaker who will leave you with much to think about.”

Kate Garnett
“Martine's talk was one of the most engaging I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. Martine speaks effortlessly with an almost theatrical air holding the audience in the palm of her hand. Her subject was dear to her heart, with facts and humour in equal measure, but one feels Martine could speak just as eloquently on any subject.”

Jane Tullier
“Working with Martine for a LEGO® Serious Play® session was an enjoyable experience. Her ability to create an engaging, interactive environment through the use of LEGO® bricks was not only fun but incredibly insightful. Martine guided us through each activity with patience and expertise, and the session allowed our team to explore ideas and challenges in a unique and hands-on way, fostering collaboration and innovative thinking.”
