Women Leading With Grace: A Revolution of the Heart

“The collective Feminine heart rightnow needs incredible sensitivity, support, care and nurturing.” Sophie Bashford

“It’s time to move from knowing what to do to actually doing it.” Arianna Huffington

Women Leading with Grace exists to offer women well-being, strength and balance.

We as women are powerful beyond measure. How do we bring forth the full scope of our confidence and gifts to our lives and to our careers?  It is up to us. Fully in our hands – this time is it.

There is a tidal wave of change toward a fully gender diverse workforce. It requires a change of heart – within ourselves. It takes courage to walk fearlessly – unapologetically – into this new territory.  How do we to hold to our strength, our passion, and align with our core values?  How do we stand for ourselves? 

Women tell me they want to be happy and harmonious – find peace, well-being and balance, live their purpose, to inspire others to do the same, become more self-confident and effective leaders, and make profound contribution in all areas of their lives.

This program is built out of the work I do coaching executives, both men and women, across all market sectors.  My own research tells me that the time is now.

Women Leading with Grace is an experiential program for you to gain strength, balance, courage, harmony and those positive emotions and skills that quickly build your confidence that gets you to the next level.  It brings stress-reduction, self-care and inspires powerful choices.

Program Objective – Let us explore beyond where a strong and traditional mindset exists by building a mastery with women that lead with grace.

You will learn:

  • Practices to maintain balance, both grounded and centered – even in the face of chaos—to feel more present in any interaction
  • To project a powerful Presence
  • To embody undeniable confidence to excel in all areas of your life
  • To feel more comfortable, at ease and in control
  • To project a powerful voice that commands attention
  • To inspire powerful choices to coach yourself back into balance and harmony.

With my approach, women are more easily able to embody, assimilate and integrate skills to use in all areas of their lives.  This work is a perfect blend of the head, heart and spirit.

Together we can confirm that women in full confidence will make the enormous difference in our world.

What My Clients Are Saying

"Martha, the morning session was absolutely transformative. The opportunity to share space, movement and breath with others was so impactful; understanding we have a kindred bond to connect with others, to share, to learn was amazing. You helped bring out the best of our selves. I would love to arrange a time for you to visit my campus as I would love to gift a session to women of my inner circle…will be back in touch with you shortly to explore.”
CEO, Healthcare Research

“Martha’s work and her techniques transcend both the professional and personal. She individualizes programs to lead to execution, leadership and team development. Her focus on essential skills trains from C-Suite to entry-level. All of the above is most critical at this time when cultures have to blend “old guard” and millennials and we all need to evolve, communicate and empower for success.”
MD, Financial Services

“Working in the male-dominated trading floor environment made it hard for me [a woman] to feel recognized. Martha’s use of role-playing situations made it easier for me to introduce myself, assert my ideas in meetings, and gain credit for my work which allowed me to advance in my career.”
Director, Sales & Trading, Global Investment Bank

“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.”
Senior Project Manager, Big Four Professional Services Firm

“Martha helped me become confident, relaxed, clear and organized – and to come across as an expert willing to help the audience while presenting trade ideas to greater than a hundred clients who had various levels of expertise.”
