Why culture?

Defined as ‘the way we do things around here’ culture encompasses everything from the purpose, values, beliefs, attitudes, systems and rules that outline and influence leadership and employee behaviours.

It is also a key driver of conduct and performance.

84% of the value of an S&P 500 company comes from the talents, skills, knowledge, work ethic, behaviours and health of its employees. (Workhuman, 2023).

And research shows that a healthy work culture results in:

30-40% increased productivity

Improved financial performance

Improved employee engagement

Improved employee retention

Why work with MD Consulting?

Informed by 20 years of hands-on corporate experience and the latest science of what makes people feel good and perform well, MD Consulting is led by Martina Doherty.

Over her career, Martina held various senior in-house roles in investment banks and technology companies in Germany and London before setting up a successful Marketing and PR agency in London. In 2020, on her return from a 2-year cycling adventure from London to New Zealand, she embarked on a new challenge of discovering what makes people happy and productive in work. Why do some individuals and leaders thrive in life and work, while others suffer stress or burnout and others just languish?

In 2022 she graduated with a MSc in Applied Positive and Coaching Psychology studying the science behind how and why people function at their best.  She now uses this knowledge to help help organisations understand how to get the best from their people.

The audit, training and coaching programmes offered by Martina and her associates provide the tools and skills – all grounded in science – to help leaders lead and motivate employees perform well in high-pressured or demanding environments without sacrificing their well-being.

Martina is a fully-trained coach, accredited by the European Mentoring and Coaching Council. The accreditation certifies that she follows an ethical code of practice, receives regular supervision and continuously demonstrates commitment to her own professional and personal development in the field.

Customer Service and Logistics Manager, Eternis Fine Chemicals

Working with Martina was both challenging and rewarding.  She helped me think through different approaches to my many work challenges and to consider different perspectives. She was insightful and able to analyse my key challenges by really listening to what I said. Her indepth and often challenging questions helped me recognise my own potential and empowered me to focus on taking action in the areas I wanted to improve.

My coaching experience with Martina was excellent. Her coaching style and questioning techniques empowered me to clearly identify the areas I needed to focus on to bring more order and structure to how I work. Her natural ability helped me recognise areas of my own potential, and guided me towards this. Her ability to encourage me to see different perspectives really challenged my thinking along the way, which was exactly what I asked for and needed! Her coaching sessions have definitely helped set me up for success in so many areas, and I would highly recommend Martina as a coach.

I found my coaching sessions with Martina extremely positive, not only in helping me identify, clarify and frame my professional development objectives, but also in the insights and reflections I got from each session. The sessions gave me space to think about challenges from new angles and consider the strengths I bring to my organisation and my team, which I found both rewarding and beneficial.
Chris St Leger

Operations Manager, Eternis Fine Chemicals

As a coach Martina created a safe, yet challenging coaching environment where I could reflect on and identify areas in my working style that I wanted to improve.  Working with her enabled me to shape and implement a set of personal objectives to improve my performance as a leader and then develop my own strategies to achieve these. The whole experience was extremely positive and helpful and I would highly recommend Martina to anyone in a leadership role considering coaching.

Coaching sessions with Martina were beneficial as they encouraged me to focus on developing skills to be a better manager and influence the wellbeing of my team. Setting goals and intentions meant that I committed to seeing them through.
Rob Wybrow

Rob Wybrow

Technical Director, Eternis Fine Chemicals

Moving into a new role comes with many new challenges; one of which is new team members and their integration into the current team. Martina’s coaching provided a safe and open environment where I could discuss these challenges. She really listened, often challenging my ideas to help me gain different perspectives and think about alternative methods and approaches to align the teams, ultimately helping me successfully transition into the new role. I wholeheartedly recommend Martina to provide coaching, challenge and guidance as I think the sessions will really enable me to continue to grow as a manager and allow my team, both current and new, to grow as well.”

Managing Partner, Grant Saw Solicitors, London

I came to the process a bit sceptical about what benefits coaching could provide, but Martina was highly instrumental in helping me think through some of the fundamental issues I have around setting priorities and my working practices. She helped bring clarity to my own thoughts and to put in place some things to try which are proving successful. I thoroughly recommend Martina to those considering coaching sessions

Training Manager, UK Company

Martina and Nic delivered a great strengths training workshop that got the entire team engaged. As well as the personal boost of identifying our individual strengths, knowing how to leverage them in the workplace and strength-spotting is others has been a game-changer for many of us. We hope to run more workshops like this going forward.
