Testimonials
One “board of advice” client summed up his experience when we reviewed the relationship on an anniversary:
“From day one you have provided us with wise advice and been a great sounding board on a variety of levels. Your contribution to the success of the firm has been significant.”
Martin provides “peer review” for a number of professionals in different contexts. Here is one response:
“Thank you yet again for your awesome feedback – really constructive and reflective. I am constantly amazed by how supportive you have been.”
Our clients have told us that the things they most value about working with us are:
- The support and empathy we provide, so they feel supported and understood
- Our professional and tailored approach, which makes them feel special
- The fresh thinking that emerges, which makes them feel clever and well equipped
- The sense of accountability, which makes them feel responsible
- The validation of their ideas, which makes them feel confident about the future.
