Approach

Coaching, Mentoring and Leadership Advice for Winners in Business

Global – Personalised – Practical – Performance driven

Experience-based and global

I.J. Martin & Co Ltd is one of the oldest-established executive coaching firms anywhere. We’ve been around since 1998. Our coaches, all seasoned business leaders, have steered international corporations through many ‘Boom & Bust’ cycles. We invented the term ‘experience-based’ coaching. Centuries of real-life global leadership experience underpin the I.J. Martin & Co coaching approach.

Our coaches in Europe, North America and Asia support executives around the world.

Personalised and practical

The I.J. Martin & Co Global Coaching Boutique devises individually-designed programmes for each client. Our highly personalised approach sets the Global Quality Standard for top-level coaching and mentoring. We’re light on theory and heavy on real-life issues. Our coaching brings lasting learning and immediate payback. 

Performance driven

Growing your bottom line is our ultimate goal. We’re business partners and not psychotherapists – a ‘blue suits’ as opposed to ‘white coats’ approach.

Our client focus

I.J. Martin & Co Ltd works with the strategic layer in global corporations, large family and private-equity owned businesses and ambitious mid-sized enterprises. Typically, Boards, CEOs, C-Suite and Executive Board Members, Regional Presidents, Business Unit Heads, other Senior Leaders, High Potentials and Top Teams.

Why is executive experience so important?

I.J. Martin & Co’s experience-based coaches have credibility and real empathy with our clients. As business executives, we have gained experience, made mistakes and learned lessons in the same harsh business environment as our clients. A typical I.J. Martin & Co coach has enjoyed at least 25 years international management exposure in a large organisation, usually with CEO or Board responsibility.

This practical experience, supported by internal training and our own proven processes, helps our coaches:

  • Ask the right probing questions
  • Challenge business strategy and tactics
  • Give practical guidance in business and relevant private matters
  • Enhance senior leadership skills
  • Achieve optimal work/life trade-off
  • Improve the company ‘bottom-line’ and long-term business success
