Marta J Brooks

I love CliftonStrengths, my top 5 Strengths include Learner, Achiever, Responsibility, Arranger, and Input. My coaching philosophy is rooted in authentic leadership, the importance of emotional intelligence, and developing the whole person. I leverage my expertise in strengths-based leadership and team-based learning to partner with clients (individuals and teams) to create tailored development plans that align with personal/professional goals. Clients consistently comment on my deep listening skills and the ability to stimulate light bulb moments of self-reflection and paths forward.

Holding a variety of roles during my career from frontline managment to president of two publicly traded companies, I have collaborated with numerous stakeholders across academia, industry, and the healthcare community. My successful forays into corporate and academic environments includes a diverse expertise in administration/supervision, P&L management, marketing, meeting facilitation, consensus building, project management, and mentoring of staff/teams. I have led and mentored four departments, two companies, and numerous team members. This journey has afforded me with deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by today's leaders. In turn, these experiences shape my extensive (20+ years) in coaching leaders, fostering change managment approaches, and team building! When I am not coaching, I enjoy hiking with my dogs, traveling (especially to National Parks!), swimming, and biking. I'm an avid listener of audio books especially mystery novels, I love going to concerts, and my Learner keeps me growing and evolving.

I welcome the opportunity to meet with you and discuss your goals! Thank you!
