Karen F.
Karen F.
I have enjoyed working with Martina for over a year now. As a cross-cultural communication ambassador she is very knowledgeable and our time together building a podcast series was joyful and informative. I also had the pleasure of working with Martina recently as a coach. I love her coaching style - calm, probing, yet patient. She knew the right questions to raise at the right times and left me with a deeper sense of enquiry after each session.

Martina is very generous and gave me good advice when needed, and we held regular meetings. Through her, I was able to manage the preparation for my exchange semester in Europe, and she was able to provide profitable advice. I was able to learn time management, priority, and goal management from Martina.

Martina and I crossed paths on the BetterUp platform, where she became my anchor coach. Over the past 6 months, Martina has supported my professional growth and helped me to adapt an assertive mindset. Taking initiative and managing uncertainty individually and in a group are no longer buzzwords for me, but integrated strengths! Martina's vibrant personality and empathetic approach are admirable and made a great impact.
