How We Work With Clients and Colleagues
IC’s coaching work is primarily delivered one-on-one by telephone throughout the USA and globally. We find this communication medium to be the most cost effective and efficient. Christine uses social media (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Plaxo) and, of course, email to communicate with clients and colleagues and other interesting people worldwide.
Christine has been blogging (primarily for her colleagues) since 2009 … her subject is “coaching” with a heavy emphasis on getting to the masterful level of professional coaching. (www.coachchristinetalks.blogspot.com).
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
Giving Back
Christine Martin enjoys earned status in the professional coaching arena. She gives back by donating her time as a member of the ICF Credentialing Assessor Team. She evaluates credential candidates for all 3 ICF credentials (ACC, PCC and MCC). In 2005 and 2006 she was volunteer chair of the entire global credentialing initiative. She has coached pro bono for the United Nations (an ICF project), Save the Children and The Coaching Initiative a USA-based non-profit organization.
