Ken Blanchard tells us that “Feedback is the breakfast of Champions” and across her businesses Martha encourages feedback and has made a commitment to take every piece of feedback as a golden nugget of information of the best kind to continually improve client experience.

Here are some comments clients have made about being coached including some testimonials from our Plan for Success Events:

It’s not always easy to create the space you need for strategic thinking, goal setting and action planning…and also reflection.  Distractions usually prevail, but attending Martha’s Plan for Success Event gave me the time out, space and environment to achieve all three of those things and more.  Getting away from my normal surroundings, mixing and communicating with a small group of like-minded businesswomen, sharing ideas, gaining tools to use in my business and having fun were just a few additional highlights I gained from the event.  If you’re looking to gain any of this and achieve more, I can highly recommend this event.  Debbie Rennie, nRg Marketing

All in all, great event, great location, great group of people and great start to a successful 2014.    I really enjoyed the event, as it was a great opportunity to take time out for myself. Working with a small group of great people, who all were supportive and inspiring in their approach helped too. Martha facilitated everything with a quietly confident dexterity, adopting the flexibility to give each of us individual attention. Two days well-spent and thoroughly recommended!  Liz Taylor, Consultant

Great to take some time out to plan.  Martha provided the tools to keep me on track to really understand my goals.  Relaxed friendly atmosphere, ideal for making new friends too.  Fiona Henderson, Managing Director 

I have just returned from my first Plan for Success event run by Martha Simpson Coaching.  I would recommend this event to anyone who wants to step away from their hectic lives for a few days to have focussed thinking time in a peaceful environment.  Martha’s gentle style guides you through a planning process that provides clarity and destination!  Lucie Ross, The Talent Practice

My coaching sessions with Martha have been invaluable.  At a point of massive transition in my life this process has allowed me to realise the tools I need to make the big next step.  I learned things that I know will be useful throughout my entire life.  I think everyone should have their own Martha!”   A. Wallace

“Working with Martha has enabled me to move forward with my business goals much faster than I could every have imagined.  My confidence has grown undoubtedly, my usual pattern of not taking time to smell the roses is changing and the heightened awareness I now have about myself, how to manage the lows and ways to maintain focus, drive and confidence is invaluable to my personal and professional development.”  Debbie Rennie, Marketing Consultant, nRg Marketing Solutions

“Working with Martha has helped me bring to the  forefront the priorities that impact my business significantly. Management team  sessions and meeting with Martha on an individual basis, has enabled us to  extract the answers that so very often lie dormant within one self.

“We all have  fears and we can all do something about it.   The residential Coaching Retreat gave  me the chance to slow down.  It gave me  room to make my own choices.” Coaching Retreat Guest

“The whole experience  of the Coaching Retreat provided a  genuine escape and rejuvenation from the hectic insanity of everyday life and  its consequent pressures.  In today’s  lifestyle, we are constantly battling against the stresses of many challenges  and sometimes strive for perfection across all facets of our family/work life  style.  The Retreat allowed for the  unique opportunity to re-evaluate our life patterns, ensuring a new focus for  optimal success without the negative consequences.

In addition, the whole concept of the Coaching Retreat has provided a significant opportunity for  employers in the local area to offer an innovative corporate benefit to ensure  greater staff retention, and ultimate long term employee well-being.”  L  Webster, Director

“For me the team  facilitation day was a valuable opportunity to spend a day with staff who  don’t often have a chance to participate in this way, and to work with them in  a completely different way to what is usual for us.” FR,  Regional Director

“I enjoyed the 2 days and learned a lot.  I think it was time and money well spent and  it has allowed me to focus and reflect  on my practice and look at the areas which I need to change.  Thanks Martha – thought you did a superb  job.”  BS,  Manager

“I have found the coaching incredibly useful, much more than  I expected! To set aside time to focus and explore my work with the help of a  professional is a really empowering  process – I would most definitely recommend working with Martha!” E.  Wallace, Chief Executive

“Since receiving  coaching from Martha I have become more focussed on what I need to do.  She has provided the space for me to sort out  my thoughts and to outline clearly the steps I need to take towards achieving  my main goal.  She challenged my  commitment to achieving my goals and helped me to look at obstacles that might  stop me from getting there.  Her coaching  made me realise that everything is possible and made me really determined to  achieve my main goal – I now have a plan!   The real effect of coaching for me is that it has changed the way I think.  It  has made me challenge my perceptions about myself.  It’s amazing.   I’ve got so much more out of it than I ever imagined.”  Private  client exploring career change
