Meet your coach:Â Martha Gelnaw
I help senior leaders feel at ease when all eyes are on them, whether they’re speaking to a board, investors or thousands of employees. My approach is simple: Executives don’t need to become performers. They just need to become themselves, under pressure. With 25 years of leadership communication coaching experience, I’ve guided clients to transform nervous energy into calm authority, credibility, and genuine impact.
What people are saying
Â
“There are loads of people who can teach you the mechanics of presentation skills. Martha extends well beyond mechanics to help you – in your own authentic voice – connect with your audiences in ways you never imagined."
Global Asset Management
“I am in a new C-Level role and there is nothing that you and I have done over the years we’ve worked together that I’ve ever done before. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t rely on the skills you taught me to be successful in this role.”
Pharma BusinessÂ
“Martha helped me learn how to portray my full confidence, and to have my presence embody my strength. Her coaching and guidance have had a significant impact on my ability to shine!”
Financial ServicesÂ
“I contracted Martha to work with my senior team who was preparing to present at a high stakes internal conference with an audience of 800 during a critical juncture for our practice. She worked carefully with each person to bring out their best, most engaging style and persuasive message. This was no easy task as these were people who are highly technical and not used to exhibiting a compelling stage presence. The results were very good and each person was happy with the outcome from the meeting.”
