THINK AGILE. WORK SMART.

I’m Martin, a business coach, Agile consultant & neurodiversity specialist.

I collaborate with businesses to create progressive workplace practices. I’ll work with you to identify and interrogate the challenges you’re up against to support you in creating a positive, rewarding and effective working culture. And what’s more, I’ll do it with enthusiasm, efficiency and compassion.

LET’S TALK

Your business is unique.
Your support should be too.

No two people are the same, and no two businesses share the same structures, goals and challenges. It’s why I want to start by learning more about your unique business needs, and the context and specifics that have led to where you are today. It’s only then that we’ll roll up are sleeves, look to the future, and work on getting to the root of the problem, together.

I offer a free 30 minute conversation prior to any project to discuss a tailor-made solution just for you. Let’s talk…

AGILE: BUT MAKE IT AUTHENTIC

If Agile isn’t working for you, you need to adapt it to fit. I can help with that.

Agile. Transformation. Liberating Structures. Have these phrases have become tired and stale in your workplace? Perhaps you never truly connected with them in the first place? Or maybe you were sold a concept that never truly made good on its promises?

Here’s the thing: liberation and transformation can only ever happen when the person who’s driving your Agile approach truly believes in its value.

Agile isn’t blindly following rules and regulations. It’s adapting. It’s questioning. It’s keeping an open mind. It’s why I don’t just “teach” Agile, I live an breath it. I’ll help you implement Agile in a proactive, sustainable way, demonstrating how authentic Agile frameworks truly can revolutionise your business.

If you’ve been burned by Agile in the past, let’s work together to breath life into tired, rigid working practices and instil a truly Agile mindset. Tangible, meaningful, and lasting results are within reach. 

“Martin is the embodiment of the Agile mindset. He is exceptionally talented, and his sharp analytical mind combined with his extraordinary emotional intelligence and empathy make him a great asset to any company.”

HOW CAN I HELP?

A decade of expertise.
Tailored to suit you.

I work with clients to scope, define, and implement projects from inception to delivery, tailoring my approach to suit the needs of every individual, organisation and industry. Book in for a free 30 minute kick-off conversation, and let’s get started.

Agile Consultancy

It’s not enough to expect teams and practices to run on survival mode. People deserve to professionally thrive. All of us. Every single team member. No matter who I’m working with, the industry I’m working within, or the challenges you’re facing, I use an Agile approach to transform my clients’ ways of working, keeping people at the heart of everything they plan to scope and achieve.

Business Coaching

Are you an individual looking to upskill and develop your potential? Maybe you need support whilst setting up a new business, expanding your services, or growing a team. Or perhaps you don’t really know what the problem is, you just know that you need some help working out where things are getting stuck. Whatever your goals, I’m here to help.

Events & Training

Learning is all about human connection. Whether working in person with an in-house team or offering advice and insights at conferences and industry events, there’s nothing like getting together in a room - however big or small - and talking in person. I offer a range of expertly-curated workshops, seminars and training packages, created to help instil a more agile, dynamic working mindset.

“Martin has transformed our ways of working, helping us break up complex challenges into bite size pieces. What’s more, his energy and enthusiasm made the journey hugely enjoyable!”

ABOUT ME

I love failing faster. I believe in people. I live and breathe Agile.

I’m Martin (he/him), a German living in Brighton, UK. I work with teams and organisations to create more inclusive, accessible, and actually agile cultures. Not the checkbox kind; the kind that delivers real value, early and often, without leaving neurodivergent folks (like myself) behind. That’s why my work is rooted in psychological safety, values-led leadership, and creating environments where no one has to mask to belong.

Outside of work, I’m a big fan of food, gaming, swimming, and long walks on Brighton beach or in the Sussex countryside. I’m a proud member of our LGBTQ+ community, and am passionate about supporting others to navigate professional spaces that weren’t built with “difference” in mind.

You can find me on LinkedIn, or get in touch to learn more.

“Martin is a fantastic teacher and mentor. With his enthusiastic, open minded and positive nature he is a real asset for every project.”

KINDER
SMARTER
HAPPIER

It’s not about working harder. It’s about working kinder, smarter, happier.

I partner with organisations, team leaders and project managers to create working cultures and processes that inspire people to be their best, most authentic selves. After all, happy people make happy teams, and creating an inclusive workplace ensures psychological safety for all.

Structural Issues

Has your business been built on shaky foundations? Have you inherited outdated structures that no longer serve your business, or struggled to integrate teams and processes? I can help unpack why and where your existing structures are holding you back, and work with you to implement new, agile, effective working practices.

Workplace Culture

People are at the heart of every business. However small or large a workforce, it’s essential that staff can communicate effectively, interact positively, & handle challenge and conflict productively and respectfully. I work with team leaders to create dynamic working cultures that inspire, enrich and celebrate authenticity.

Psychological Safety

All businesses rely on the efficiency and engagement of their teams to run effectively, but working cultures can only thrive when we respect and protect the workloads and wellbeing of our staff. I can support you in establishing a positive working environment to safeguard against burnout, churn, stress & dissatisfaction.

Growing Pains

Rapid growth signifies a time of change for your business which can be both exciting and daunting. Without adequate preparation, you may experience issues with processes & structures that no longer meet your needs. I help establish new models of working to support your expanded business needs.

Tools & Processes

Whatever the size and model of your professional enterprise, the smooth-running of any business relies on effective systems. I can work with you to audit and evaluate your existing processes, interrogate what isn’t working, implement new systems and provide you with the tools needed to keep your business running smoothly.

Identifying

You know you have a problem…you just don’t know what it is. It’s a common occurrence for businesses, especially during periods of rapid change or stagnation. I work with clients to discuss the challenges you’re facing, identify the issue, and create a bespoke solution to bring about effective, measurable solutions.
