Lizzie Martin

Hi, I’m Lizzie and I’m a leadership coach here to help you manage your career alongside the challenges and opportunities that come with parental leave, and to help organisations keep hold of their valuable talent and bring them back thriving after leave. ⠀

I’m regularly described as a collaborative and approachable coach who builds rapport quickly with everyone I work with. I use a practical framework for addressing the barriers and opportunities to growth, so that you can enhance your emotional awareness, improve relationships with others and overcome challenges so that you can make progress in all areas of your work and professional life.

I use self awareness strengths tools to help clients develop their personal brand at work and have greater impact and influence. I draw upon neuroscience and positive psychology principles to enable clients effectively embed sustainable behavioural change.

Parental Transition Coaching

I provide 1-1 and group professional parental transition coaching for those navigating maternity, paternity, surrogacy or adoption leave and also upskill managers with training to increase their leadership capacity as they lead team members through parental transitions.

Other coaching areas include:

Women in Leadership – Coaching women to develop their leadership style, navigate their career and successfully operate with confidence and impact

Influence & Impact – Coaching leaders to extend their leadership style to achieve business outcomes, engage diverse stakeholder audiences & build strategic networks

Resilience & Wellbeing – Working with professionals to embed strategies to strengthen their emotional and physical capacity, promote autonomy, purpose and satisfaction.
