Coaching Philosophy and Style

"A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are made for." … Admiral Grace Hopper

Coaches working with or for Innovation Coaching subscribe to the International Coach Federation Definition of Coaching, the Core Competencies of Coaching, and the ICF Code of Ethics.

Christine Martin is an ICF Master Certified Coach who works with a natural, rigorous style delivered with a velvet touch. She is known for her unrelenting support, her sense of humor, her ruthless compassion and lifelong appreciation for the potential of individuals and organizations.

"Working with stars of the future has been inspiring and rewarding.  Each individual has afforded this coach the opportunity to meet and work with intelligent, accomplished individuals who are seeking ways to step up to ever higher performance while keeping their lives fulfilled.  To be privileged to work in that world is a singular honor and pleasure."…Christine Martin, 2008
