I found working with Martin to be both rewarding and enlightening. His practical approach to problem solving for our executive students, and for me, was a superb combination of experience and research-based knowledge. What I appreciated most of all was Martin's ability to connect, listen, and recommend with confidence and empathy a rare but valuable combination.

Martin coached me through a variety of different situations ranging from running productive staff meetings, to transferring offices, and meeting with potential clients. As someone only 5 years into my career, I leaned on Martin several times to help me through new situations. Martin was a tremendous resource and always provided valuable advice throughout the many situations that came about as an E & E employee.

I worked closely with Martin in several 1:1 executive coaching sessions and was immensely satisfied with results of our work together. His experience, interpersonal skills and intuition allow him to effectively adapt to each individual and the requested focus area. He did a great job customizing requisite course materials to meet my needs, far exceeding my expectations. I highly recommend working with Martin to help progress any company or personal goals.

Thanks for the great workshops, Martin. I really appreciate your practical and useful advice. It took away a lot of my nerves at the prospect of dealing with prospective and current clients!  I’m looking forward to implementing many of your techniques (most importantly, listening!) as I continue to develop my own network.

Martin has a keen ability to connect with and positively impact multiple audiences (be they college interns and early-career professionals, mid-level managers, or senior executives). His expertise in facilitating learning programs and coaching professionals in engaging, practical ways to improve performance has proven highly valuable for many of our key clients.

I have had the pleasure to work with Martin for over a decade, both as a client and a colleague. Not only did he provide strategic guidance and mentoring to staff at all levels across the consulting organization, but he also provided individual coaching to me as a Business Development division lead and an Officer of a publicly traded corporation. Martin’s ability to connect with, and foster the talent of individuals and small groups at multiple levels of the organization made him particularly effective. Whether the topic was corporate business development, proposal/presentation strategy, coaching and mentoring, or developing the talents of high-potential employees, Martin’s input was always valuable and relevant. I’ve appreciated his guidance and feedback both as a colleague and a friend, and look forward to working with him again in the future.

Martin’s support has helped us fine-tune our pursuit of key opportunities. For example, he provided insightful feedback during the development of our Strategic Capture Plan for a large, complex restoration project, and his coaching for the shortlist interview helped land us a first-place ranking.

Martin is an excellent business development and proposal management resource who can facilitate and connect with diverse audiences to provide practical, implementable tools, frameworks, and approaches that improve business performance.

The Business Development training program Martin delivered for our Pittsburgh office was insightful and included techniques to help develop new client relationships.  I learned specific client engagement skills and how to successfully apply them. His Meeting Planner gave me a practical guide to plan successful meetings with prospective clients.  Also, Martin’s coaching helped me to identify and develop my personal career goals, explore areas to increase value to the company (i.e., as a subject matter expert), and at the same time enjoy what I am doing!  He guided me to set reasonable goals, measurable tasks, and identify training to meet these goals.
