Martinne Heckscher
Certified Trainer
Martinne is a certified EAI trainer. She is driven to improve communication – especially in stressful situations – as it impacts teams and organisations negatively.
She has a background in sales and project leadership in large multinationals such as IBM and Accenture. Since 2016, she has run her own company working as an independent consultant in Denmark. Emotional Assertiveness is a key ingredient for leading critical and complex projects whether it is negotiation or making critical in the moment decisions. Her coaching spans contract management, commercial implications and communication for better outcomes for the individual and the organisation she supports.
Sample:
SimCorp has been very satisfied with the consultancy/negotiation assistance provided by Martinne in our Microsoft EA renewal.
In a very short timeframe she managed with her clear communications skills to set the “scene” for the negotiations with Microsoft. The whole negotiation process was run smoothly and undramatic, both teams were positively engaged. No “tough or negative” negotiations were needed, due to communicating our expectations of the process to Microsoft early in the project.
She also possesses strong stakeholder management skills, which is a must in a Microsoft negotiation scenario. For example, SimCorps Executive management were involved from the first day, by sending a clear message to Microsoft management of their expectations. All in all, it resulted in very good deal for SimCorp.
I can highly recommend Martinne for any negotiation project.
Alexandra Sava
Certified Trainer
My work is my life journey. Over the last 20 years, I have accumulated hands on experience in management, communication and leadership, training and coaching, personal and team leadership and development.
Each stage in my diverse professional journey brought new and complex insights, skills, and experience. These in turn bring relevance to the training and coaching programs, and the agility to see and understand people, situations and needs from different points of view.
As a trainer, I have always been searching for practical tools: complex yet clear and simple to use. I discovered PCM in 2006 and I became the first certified trainer in Romania. Over the years, participants have evaluated PCM as the most useful communication tool for improving personal and professional relationships and work performance.
At present, I work as trainer, consultant and coach in the fields of communication, leadership, team development and personal transformation.
