program testimonials
“Lisa Martin’s Success is a Balancing Act seminar helped our group understand that small changes can make a big difference. Her presentation challenged us to really understand what our core values were and what our current value gap was, while giving us a framework to develop actions to move towards those values. The seminar was both positive and practical in giving us the tools to self-assess the difference between our needs and our wants, using this as a first step to allow us to achieve our own personal balance and success.”

“Lisa helped us assess our balance, visualize it and identify an action we can take to improve it. The process helped participants clarify what they can start doing to bring balance and success to their lives. That’s made all the difference.”

“Lisa’s program is retention tool with impact…as it gives women a real feeling of increased support. My biggest gain was recognizing I can’t be all things to everyone in my life and discovering boundaries for myself. I wish I had done this 15 years ago.”

coaching testimonials
“I started to read your book, and think it is excellent. I will get a lot of value from it and so the other mothers that work with me. Thus, I have put your website address and the name of the book and author (yourself obviously) on our bulletin board at work. I hope this is in order, but I felt I needed to share this book with the other working mothers in our company. I was fortunate enough that my sister introduced me to the book. Lucky me – I have a great sister! ”

- HR Service Delivery Manager, British American Tobacco South Africa
“I’ve been meaning to write this email for a while. With your program I feel validated and have the courage to really go after the things that are most important to me (and my family). I have learned new tools to use to let me feel “ok” in the chaos of balancing the demands of my family and work. Not only that, I have been able to achieve a new level of productivity in my work that I have not yet been able to in the past. Because I am not trying to do it ALL each week, I actually see closure and achievement in my work. I have the time I want with my family and do not feel guilty about my work. It is a very peaceful feeling. Thank you!”
