Check out this informative (and free) 10-minute guide made for long time corporate professionals and executives who are navigating the fear around leaving corporate.

Hello. I’m Martha. I am a former corporate lifer who recently was part of a layoff.

Here’s the kicker – I had written a resignation letter only 2 hours before I was told of my layoff.

I wrote the letter to help clarify to myself why I wanted to leave.

While I never intended to send it, as soon as my manger started reading from the lay-off script, I realized the universe was with me.

It was my golden opportunity to leave a tremendously misaligned environment I recognized I had outgrown years earlier.

And while it is never easy to be part of a lay-off (What? I am not wanted?), I knew it was entirely up to me to decide how I wanted to respond.

I chose to let go of my identity as an IBMer and passionately embrace that of a coach.

And looking back it became clear everything aligned as I’d been coaching as a side business for 5 years.

And now I am prioritizing it fully.

Martha helped me tap into a part of myself that had been lost for years. I found our time together to be priceless, from the start she was very relatable, encouraging, and most of all allowed me to share openly, my experiences and challenges. I’ve learned that I possess the power to drive change and more importantly my reaction to it. Martha has truly allowed me to be “ok with me”. This underlying shift will help me be a better employee, leader and survivor.

Having spent almost 3 decades in corporate, I am now supporting people who are in the same place I was.

I help long-time corporate professionals and executives like you fearful of leaving their job navigate, embrace and master that decision. And then I help them create a new life.

What I struggled with, utterly avoided and was absolutely terrified of doing for years, I can help you achieve in a fraction of the time.

And I know this will sound strange, but it’s time to embrace the struggle, avoidance and fear.

And it’s time to stop wasting time.

I will be your guide, supporting you every step in this new life.

I worked with Martha for 6 months and am truly blown away as I reflect on my personal and professional growth in that time. Since starting this journey, I had the courage to chase a promotion, ask for a raise, come to terms with some insecurities that I’ve battled for years, muster up the courage to get a surgery that I’ve been delaying, and repair many relationships. But most importantly, I finally understood the importance of putting myself first. I’m leaving this program with a new-found love for myself and know that Martha has given me the tools and resources to continue finding new ways to honor myself. In a year full of uncertainty and challenges, Martha was right by my side every step of the way.

Nearly three-quarters of workers are actively thinking about quitting their job.

What is stopping you? Are any of these scenarios familiar?

You deeply know it is time to leave the corporate world but are not ready to admit it.
You are experiencing loneliness and fear around the prospect of leaving you feel you cannot share with others.
You carry negative beliefs and assumptions that you assign as an excuse around staying.
You are afraid to let go of this identity which has been a part of you for years.
You hold a long-term idea this change would make you a failure, would brand you as lazy or even remove a sense of validation.

The validation part was huge for me – who was I without being an employee in this company?

Your career has defined you, seemingly given you proof of your significance. And this is a space you can remain trapped in for years.

For years I promised myself I’d work on an exit plan over the weekend. Or tomorrow I’d reach out to someone who could help. Only to find myself in the same place weeks and months later.

If this resonates, please know you are not alone.

Consider this the sign you’ve been waiting for, the sign it is time for you to admit and allow yourself to take the first steps towards leaving.

I will be with you every step, supporting, guiding and holding you accountable.

I promise this will be one of the most profound gifts you have given to yourself.

When I first met Martha, I was stuck. She explained that her purpose in coaching is to “inspire worthiness and happiness in others.” Combined with her upbeat and caring nature, this statement made my decision to work with her very easy. With her expertise, Martha helped me identify my self limiting beliefs, cleared the fuzziness that had built up in my head, gave me the skills to quiet my saboteur and guided me towards naming and pursuing my life purpose. Her encouragement is energizing and her “own it” mantra is a freeing perspective. She is an excellent coach.
