Martina Payette | Entrepreneurial & Career Coach

Turn your inklings into Influence.

You already know something needs to change. That quiet certainty – the inkling – is real.
I help you trust it, build on it, and turn it into a career and life you can actually stand in, as You.

You have today!
The perfect moment to begin BEing U. Confidently.

You can sense the stirrings, the inklings, of change

Beginning, Anticipating, and Wondering,
ignite emotions with a sense of fire and drive.
until doubt emerges
to dampen it.
Headiness adds to the conversation with
“but”, “tried that before”, “what if it doesn’t work?”,
“it’s too big a risk, it’s okay where you are”, or “just wait a bit”!

The thought of a better-paying or more satisfying job is exciting and overwhelming at the same time. The overwhelm clouding the picture with “I don’t have the time to look”, “I’m too busy” or “I’m not ready yet”. Inklings and ideas are abandoned for another time.

Why follow your inklings now, shed your resistance?

Because, you can imagine better.

Overcoming your resistance and listening into your inklings for change can start with one conversation.
Martina helps you to listen in, reveal the curiosity and care to begin.
Unravel your resistance and turn your inklings into tangible opportunities.

Martina was instrumental in my success in finding a better-fitting position. I was immediately struck by her keen insight and perception, as well as her warmth and kindness. Martina’s experience is evident; she has a wonderful way with words and was able to connect with me and get to the heart of things right away. She gave useful and concrete strategies on how I could improve my interview performance while building on my strengths and experiences. Martina was able to draw out my passion and enthusiasm and help me build my self-confidence. She coached me on how to express myself and my values confidently in interviews. Her coaching was truly invaluable. Thank you, Martina!

Uncover The Message Your Resistance Reveals.

Resistance is data. Let’s explore the data and reveal your pathway forward, together.

Hi, I’m Martina!

I understand doubt and resistance to change. It leaves you stuck and unsatisfied at any career stage. I’ve been there, yearning to make a career or personal change, sometimes, for too long. Indecision and resistance holding me back. The decision point placed in front of me, more than once. I’ve learned to spot that pattern over a 30 year career and 14 years of coaching clients facing that same doubt and resistance.

My Inklings Rule for Clarity helps you learn from your doubt and resistance and move from musings to actionable steps that have you living your new career journey.

Life IS change and a lifetime is too short
to waste waiting for the “right” time.

Listening to your inklings and learning from your resistance is Step 1.
Uncovering what’s holding you back and creating the conditions for accepting the need to change is worth it.

Your resistance is data. I help you transform that data into actionable steps that lead to the career and life change you know you need.

I have cultivated a way of listening to uncertainties and doubts that helps turn them into reasons to gather information, connect, and learn.

Let your inklings be the spark, igniting your courage and curiosity. They will lead you to the people, places, and work that fulfills your yearnings.
