Martha's an author, inventor, speaker, motivator and innovator. An entrepreneur since grade school,  she knows the importance of planning—and having strong banking relationships.

Clients say she’s like a personal trainer. “You make me do the hard work I know I need to do to grow,” said one successful bank president.

Her unconventional, holistic strategic planning ability means creative thinking is applied to client problems. Unique and powerful results follow.

Martha is a highly-sought speaker, conducting seminars and motivational talks throughout the US and Canada.

She earned the ABA Advanced Bank Marketing Certificate and has ABA certification as a Certified Financial Marketing Professional (CFMP). A graduate of Leadership America, Martha was chosen as IABC's EXCEL honoree in 2008 and the 2010 Woman of Excellence by the Career Chapter of American Business Women's Association. In 2017 she was inducted into the Junior Achievement Kansas Business Hall of Fame.

When she’s not working, you might find her in a yoga inversion class, her painting studio or enjoying live theatre.
