Judith Martin
A UK-German citizen, I am an independent, experienced practitioner, master coach, trained supervisor, facilitator and teacher, based in Munich, Germany. I bring a global, trans- and cross-cultural outlook to my work, drawing on 35 years of experience living and working internationally, in the UK, former Czechoslovakia, Spain, China and Germany. I have extensive cross-sector experience in my field with culturally diverse clients up to Board level. And I have worked with a broad range of enterprise, from multinationals and leading business schools, to family businesses, new ventures, hospitals and humanitarian projects.
I hold an Advanced Practitioner Diploma in Executive Coaching (2014), a Practitioner Diploma in Executive Coaching (2008), and a Systemic Team Coaching Certificate (2015) from the Academy of Executive Coaching, UK. Accredited as a Master Executive Coach (2023) with APECS (Association of Professional Executive Coaching and Supervision), I am also accredited as a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with the International Coaching Federation. Additionally, I hold certificates in coaching supervision, action learning facilitation, and professional education and communication, including a Master’s degree in adult learning and language teaching.
How I work
My Structure & Flow approach is flexible, adaptive and personalised, allowing me to respond to varying needs, contexts and learning styles. It combines clear contracting, frameworks, parameters and commitment with agility, creativity, playful experimentation, joy and whatever’s emerging. It is often deeply personal (also trauma-informed), holistic (connecting mind, body, heart and spirit; past, present and future) and integrative. I draw on various methods, techniques, psychological models and disciplines. My systemic perspective creates value for stakeholders beyond the individual and enables wider systems change.
What I value
Through my work, I foster international cooperation, unity and solidarity, social progress, active citizenship, democratic and humanist values, healthy autonomy and personal freedom. Co-creation in partnership based on mutual respect, trust and equality is important for me, as is appreciating and leveraging diversity, staying open and curious, and living authentically and with integrity. A core principle of mine is to honour good professional and ethical standards, while another, as I like to be practically-minded, is to see new learning translated into action and results.
