I'm Martha Gelnaw.

There is a uniqueness in my approach. You won’t quite find this work anywhere else.

The methods are experiential.

The learning is exponential.

Leaders and executives hire me to help them be persuasive, present and compelling.

My clients engage with me to create the presence and connection of a leader so their teams and their stakeholders are internally motivated to accomplish their shared vision.

We do this by turning up the volume on Presence, and the ability to authentically, emotionally express oneself to be compelling and empowering rather than domineering.

I do this by employing my vast experiences:

$
Work at all levels of leaders, C-Suite and emerging leaders in both large and small organizations across all industries.
$
Spent 15 years in leadership roles in world-class global organizations.
$
Qualified in coaching and training with an international leadership communications company.
$
Due to loss of my voice in an early part of my career, to regain it I studied Voice with renowned masters.
$
Voice study is part of physical communication skills. I’ve continued to train for decades.
$

I was very fortunate to train with those people who are Masters of their craft.

I learned acting from Mike Nichols, the Academy Award and Tony Award winning director.

I learned Improvisation from Paul Sills, the originator of a new form of theatre and a founder of Second City Theatre.

I trained in voice and presence with Patsy Rodenburg, a world renowned teacher – to only name a few.

As a multi-disciplinary leadership consultant who has trained for decades in many methods, I’ve combined my leadership career with global companies with my studies in theatre and performance, voice, improvisation, mindfulness, physical theatre and presence.

It is in this way I help ambitious leaders make and hold big promises and lead people through significant change.

They work with me to become radically present in a centered body, with a mood of positive energy and they provide their people with a story that provides a positive future (language).
