Martin brings his insights to life in every session igniting the curiosity of his audiences into thinking about how they can use their body language more effectively. Martin then equips audiences with practical tools they can use immediately. His 20+ years of experience as a communications trainer ensure his sessions go way beyond entertainment. Delegates walk away with skills they can apply straight away which boosts their confidence and ultimately, their impact.
This ability to give people a real competitive edge is a key reason behind Martin’s success as a speaker. His sessions consistently add lasting value to corporate events and cruise ship audiences.
Martin launched his communication consultancy in 2002 after a successful career in sales and sales leadership. Since then, he has advised business leaders and entrepreneurs around the world. His focus: helping them use body language to connect and communicate more powerfully.
He also teaches at top business schools. At Henley Business School, his course, Body Language for Leaders, has earned outstanding reviews from participants. His media work is equally respected. Martin is frequently asked to analyse business and political figures on platforms such as BBC Radio, LBC, and BBC2 during election coverage. He has also appeared on the Discovery Channel, in The Times newspaper and reviewing the top BBC program, Traitors, for The Standard newspaper.
