Who am I?
Over her 20+ year corporate career, Martina 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 her return from a 2-year cycling adventure from London to New Zealand, she undertook a MSc in Applied Positive and Coaching Psychology – the science behind how and why people function at their best. She now uses this knowledge to help unlock the power of people – at organisational and individual levels.

What My Clients Say
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.
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

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.
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.
My coaching experience with Martina was excellent. Her coaching style and questioning techniques empowered me to clearly identify the areas I needed to focus on to bring more order and structure to how I work. Her natural ability helped me recognise areas of my own potential, and guided me towards this. Her ability to encourage me to see different perspectives really challenged my thinking along the way, which was exactly what I asked for and needed! Her coaching sessions have definitely helped set me up for success in so many areas, and I would highly recommend Martina as a coach.
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.
