About Me

Hello! Welcome! My core focus areas are Career Change/Job Search, Entrepreneurship, Career Resilience.

When your work life has lost its’ spark and you know you need a change but you just can't get started, who do you talk to?

As your confidential coach, I can help you talk through challenges and concerns and think out loud to sort through your frustration or confusion, wants and desires. We'll work together to create a path for your transition and get you moving in a positive direction toward your work-life satisfaction goals.

My specialty is helping job seekers, career changers, and entrepreneurs unlock their special qualities and achieve their best work-life and the satisfaction that comes with it. I have coached and supported hundreds of people through career and personal change challenges. Clients reconnect to their core interests, develop effective decision making, relationship building, communication, personal leadership, networking & interviewing skills. They learn to re-frame challenges, put pen to paper, and implement strategies that help them break through communication and motivational barriers to find work-life success.

I use my listening, witnessing, and coaching skills to provide a safe and confidential space for clients to debrief; to talk it through, clarify challenges, prepare, and execute their strategy.

Practice sessions provide the opportunity to build confidence and presence in conversation, networking, interviewing, and work performance situations.

Self-leadership/motivation assessments and awareness exercises provide the foundation for change, support growth and lead to work-life satisfaction as an employee or entrepreneur.

I am an NCC Certified Coach with 25+ years' experience in Career Development, 8 years as a successful entrepreneur, and Body & Movement & Integrative Body Psychotherapy training.

I'm certified in assessment tools that help you understand yourself better.

I had a great experience with Martina Payette. She was very patient and understanding as I navigate this new chapter in my life. I felt really comfortable during our meetings and I could be honest with myself. I will continue to seek her guidance as I continue my journey to find what comes next. Thank you Martina for all your support.

Martina was prompt with her replies back to me. And her rates fit into my budget. I am enjoying my sessions with her, and am very excited as she guides me through this new journey

Martina is kind, personable, and goes out of her way to support her clients, and others alike. She exceeded all expectation while helping me prepare for an interview. Martina spent a two-hour session with me, conducting a mock interview. She provided valuable feedback that helped me improve my answers. She also gave me advice on how to use my body and hand gestures to help me relax during an interview. As a result, I went into the actual interview feeling more confident than ever before, and I was able to use the techniques Martina taught me to relax and be myself during the interview. With more confidence networking and interviewing, I landed a great position. Thank you, Martina, for your dedication and words of encouragement.

I worked with Martina as a coachee last year, and was amazed at how she was able to help me find simple solutions to situations that I was struggling with. Her style is friendly, approachable, and warm. Her approach to coaching allowed me to identify fresh new ways to think about my life, and I still find myself reflecting on some of her questions when I hit a roadblock. If you're looking for ways to improve your personal and professional performance, I would wholeheartedly recommend working with Martina!
