What people say about Sherpa HR
Martin represents what can be possible in a Human Resources partnering role. He has a great ability to create true trusted advisor relationships with his business partners that deliver real value to the organization. Whether that’s in the core HR functions of people, rewards, etc., or in more extended areas like business strategy design, Martin excels. In addition, Martin is an outstanding people manager that truly cares about his direct and extended team.
Martin’s passion for developing others and high energy is infectious and endearing. He spent time getting to know my individual passions and because of his unwavering belief in my abilities, I was motivated to try harder. He would often dive into the details, ask thought-provoking questions and challenge me. What I didn’t realize then was that he was coaching and preparing me for when I had to present my strategy to my account leaders.
Martin understands the business and the business of people, he sees the big picture and is very elaborated in his reflection and decisions. He has a wealth of knowledge in the HR domain and specifically in strategic workforce planning, and he is always open to share it. I personally learned a lot working with him.
I experienced Martin as a trusted partner and change champion: Both as an HR business partner engaging in a business unit’s transformation and as a leader driving organisational change inside his own regional team. He’s not only a conceptional thinker, he also shows particular strength in translating the big picture to the target organisation coaching both leaders and teams to accept and play out the new strategy. That aside, I consider Martin not just a great professional, but also an honest and reliable guy who is a lot of fun to work with.
I have witnessed Martin’s ability to connect, guide and enable the success of the business he is supporting. He has been able to effectively demonstrate to business leaders, the fundamental interlocks between a sound people strategy and a positive business outcome. It is through his effective ability to partner and influence business leaders, that they embrace his solutions and often, his solutions can be positively disruptive to the status quo.
Martin has been a great thought partner for Mekonos and a solid sounding board for our developing leadership team. He helped us design our people strategy essentially from scratch using his fantastic facilitation skills. Personally, Martin’s fluid yet structured coaching style has helped me gain clarity in my thinking, focus and improved confidence!
The Sherpa HR approach to building strategic muscle is perfect for HR Business Partners who desire a credible “seat at the table” with internal clients. Business Partners will take away tools, case studies, and exercises that will help them engage with internal clients in new ways. The course experience was truly awesome – less lecture, more skills building than any other Strategic Skills course currently offered. I highly recommend it.
Martin has the ability not just to understand the strategic goals of a business but also to translate that strategy into the detailed actions that are needed to support the strategic journey the business is going on. I learned a lot about influencing and convincing leaders while working with Martin, and this has helped me in the success I’ve had in my roles since.
Working with Martin has been a huge positive for our organization. I have really appreciated his ability to customize our engagement to meet us exactly where we are and where we need the most support at any given time. The impact has been an efficiently organized structure to our company, with optimized systems in place from onboarding to performance management to project governance, and more. I feel confident to say that Mekonos is both more productive and has a better culture thanks to Martin’s strategic contributions.
