An InnerVoice Coaching Offer with Martin Farrell

The Coaching

Martin is offering personalised one‑to‑one coaching sessions, delivered online or in person, for Kingston CEOs committed to improving the quality of life for others. These sessions provide a valuable opportunity to pause, reflect, and strengthen your leadership in a confidential and supportive space.

This InnerVoice coaching offer is a pilot programme. Alongside your own development as a leader, your participation will help shape and refine the offer for future cohorts, creating a pathway for those who follow.

The InnerVoice Approach

Martin offers his coaching through the ‘Gift Economy’, where the currencies used will plant a ‘Generosity Tree’. Martin will send you an InnerVoice, and like an invoice, it acknowledges the work you’ve done together. But unlike an invoice, which pays for his service, an InnerVoice is about paying it forward. service, an InnerVoice is about paying it forward. The InnerVoice is explained at the bottom of Martin’s homepage: https://www.martinfarrell.org
