Coaching Style

Natalia combines perceptiveness with a strong, pragmatic and business focused approach to ensure that her clients focus on action and achieving results. She brings in a strong business background i.e “understanding the territory” – often characterised by complexity, pressure and fast pace.

Testimonials

“I was coached by Natalia Martinez after returning to work from my maternity leave. The whole experience has been fantastic. It was very comforting to have a patient ear to speak to during this difficult transition period. I found Natalia very understanding and compassionate. Her coaching content was spot on and it covered most of the issues I was facing. I highly recommend Natalia as a coach. She has had a very positive impact on me and empowered me to make the right choices.”

Director, Deutsche Bank

"Natalia has a remarkable mix of skills that makes her an outstanding coach. First, she has incredible listening abilities. The way she conducted the discussions was subtle, intelligent, effective, not intrusive. I really liked how she included references to other sessions she had as well as material she read. I basically felt she had a 'master plan'. Last but not least, she has something that I found extremely valuable - she brings a very important (and necessary) psychological perspective to our discussions. Very quickly and subtly, she was able to reach the very heart of the (personal) challenges that I was facing in order to turn this into something very positive."
