Within a short time, Martina helped me improve my situation at work and boost my energy and positivity.

“Martina is very intelligent and balanced. She is a great listener and the sessions were open and direct. I felt that within a short time, we were able to dive deep into topics in a very flowy and informal style. She has a holistic approach to coaching and I found her insights interesting and useful. Martina always summarized our sessions in writing which allows me to go back to the main issues whenever I need to, greatly increasing the value of these meetings. I couldn’t be happier with choosing Martina as a career coach and look forward to keeping working with her in the future.”

I now feel more confident in how I perceive myself as a good leader and working towards taking it to the next level.

“Martina taught me how to apply the principles and concepts of Energy Leadership to my every day life both professionally and personally. As a result, I am working every day to shift my energy and focus on operating from higher anabolic levels. I used to worry and think that upper leadership didn’t view me as a good leader. I now feel more confident in how I perceive myself as a good leader and working towards taking it to the next level.”

Martina helped us prep our academic resumes to fit industry, coached us through interviews, helped with our responses to emails from job offers, and negotiations through the pandemic.

“We met Martina through LinkedIn. We received multiple proposals and only Martina's response made me want to pick up the phone and make a call. We were not sure how we needed help and she was approachable to just have a conversation without having to commit. We both had jobs but were not too happy as we knew we could do more. Long story short after the first 15 minutes we were convinced we could use her guidance. Martina helped us prep our academic resumes to fit industry, coached us through interviews, helped with our responses to emails from job offers, and negotiations through the pandemic. She carefully listens and makes sure your time with her is not wasted. She was the sounding board we needed to get to the next step. Me and my husband accepted jobs in a new state and made a dual career move. We highly recommend her.”

She somehow manages to combine highly organized and structured thinking with a creative and flexible approach to generating many, many ideas, suggestions, and sources that lead to real results. She is very easy to work with, respectful but appropriately demanding, and is 100% vested in a successful outcome.

“I used Martina Felderman’s coaching services in April 2019 and would highly recommend them. From the initial contact via LinkedIn, through to evaluation of options, to actually starting coaching, the experience with Martina was impeccable. She somehow manages to combine highly organized and structured thinking with a creative and flexible approach to generating many, many ideas, suggestions, and sources that lead to real results. She is very easy to work with, respectful but appropriately demanding, and is 100% vested in a successful outcome. Worth every penny and I would highly recommend working with her if you are serious about moving your business up several levels.”

During the coaching sessions I truly felt understood and heard by someone who has walked the shoes of entrepreneurship and understands the challenges of pursuing careers in science.

“Feeling stuck? Feeling like you're driving with an emergency break on through life? That's how I felt in 2020 until Martina was able to shed some light on the roadblocks that were preventing me from reaching my potential. Martina uses ELI tools that enable a quantitative assessment of leadership skills and a clear framework of how to progress to higher levels of leadership. The ELI assessment and coaching were invaluable in understanding how fear of failure and self-doubt was sabotaging my life. During the coaching sessions I truly felt understood and heard by someone who has walked the shoes of entrepreneurship and understands the challenges of pursuing careers in science. Thank you for showing me the path to "peaceful success".

After talking with Martina and journaling about my choices, I'm recognizing my intuition again. I feel like I'm making better choices to put my energy where I want it to go.

"My threshold for frustration had been lowered, stress levels were skyrocketing, and I was feeling disoriented on my next steps in my career. In fact, I was worried I had made the wrong career move. When I took the ELI, I was expecting to learn where my energy was being drained and how I could manage my overwhelming stress. What I wasn't expecting was to learn how strong of a leader I am when I am operating in my zone! My energy profile reminded me of times when I was operating equally with my intuition and my logic. After talking with Martina and journaling about my choices, I'm recognizing my intuition again. I feel like I'm making better choices to put my energy where I want it to go. I catch myself sometimes making choices without checking into my intuition and realize I'm not as excited about them. Tuning in to how I feel has allowed me to keep my energy up and course-correct in my career to where I feel more aligned with where I want to take it."
