While some speakers prefer to err on the side of caution, Martin was forged in the field hockey arena, where he learned to tell it like it is, straightforwardly, without detours, using the most elementary common sense… with a well-measured touch of humor, always imbued with respect. His style adapts easily to different personalities, enabling him to connect quickly with his audience.
A person who makes a lot of mistakes

An optimist
Life is too short! Martin always has a positive outlook on everyone and a sincere faith in humanity. His unwavering optimism enables him to see the glass as half full in all circumstances. He is constantly solution-oriented, looking for answers and opportunities rather than dwelling on problems.

He always focuses on the human aspect at the center of his approach
