‘This is essential reading for all leaders’ Sir Nick Young
‘This is an energising and liberating book...’
‘A must-read for anyone seeking to lead with courage, empathy and conviction in today's unpredictable and challenging world.’
I suspect this is a book I’ll keep coming back to, to help me in my own leadership practice, and each time will find something new and invaluable in its pages.
If you are looking for a leadership guide by your side, go no further.
Martin’s portrayal of ‘wild water experiences’ resonates deeply with challenges and opportunities I have seen in my part of the world [Asia Pacific].
The age I have reached and the age we are living through, both tell me it’s time for me to do things differently. So I have written a book. Actually, I have lived a book – for eight years from conception (October 2016) to completion.
The book I have written is for ‘Good Leaders… ‘ in organizations, large and small, everywhere. I believe that the power of their collective response to ‘... Turbulent Times’ can and will surely tip the balance towards creating a decent, civil and sustainable society for all.
(As well as to my wife Korinna) Good Leaders in Turbulent Times; How to Navigate Wild Waters at Work is dedicated to ‘... all the leaders whom I will never know who, facing the challenges of turbulent times, are courageously aspiring to be the good leaders who will sustain a decent, just and civil society, so we can all live together well for the foreseeable future.’

Client list and client quotes.
Martin provided support through ACEVO so that I could manage a particularly challenging set of circumstances effectively. He was focused, direct, kind and good humoured. There were lengthy periods when I did not need to talk to Martin; however it was very reassuring to know that his insightful and measured help was there if I needed to call upon it.
It all starts with a conversation.
