  • #69 - Jon Martin on Fitting in Vs. Belonging, Behavior Change, Optimal Health, and The Journey of Leaving Corporate Accounting

    Jon Martin is a dear friend of mine who shares a similar life’s journey to mine. He began his career in corporate accounting, and after several years, realized he was lacking fulfillment and aliveness in his life.


    After following a very traditional path, he began to explore what the life he truly wanted was. In this conversation, we explore the pain of misalignment, but also the beauty of finding yourself.

    Jon has so much insight to share around optimal health, inner work, and so much more.

    I am Tangata Tiriti, with ancestry from Scotland and Cornwall, and I live in Kāpiti, just outside of Wellington, with my partner and three daughters. My children and partner whakapapa to

    Ngāti Hine and Ngāti Manu.



    I have been working as a coach and facilitator for sixteen years with a background in

    leadership development, systems leadership, culture and change. I’m particularly interested

    in helping people and organisations thrive in times of flux and adaptation, and in supporting

    leaders to create lasting improvements, personally and organisationally.



    I coach individuals and teams and am interested in important and challenging conversations.

    I am known as a straight talker with an ability to see the core issues and enable groups and

    individuals to work on these in a safe and meaningful way.



    I have led teams across public, private, and not for profit sectors over the past 20 years,

    from operations to People and Capability roles and make a point of taking on a contract

    leadership role every few years to ensure that my understanding of leadership in action to

    accurate and helpful to my clients.



    A lot of the work I have done in recent years has drawn on an ongoing focus of connecting

    leadership in place, and draws on key concepts of Te Aō Māori, including The Te Kore-Te Pō

    – Te Wheiao – Te Ao Mārama as a frame for disruption and the phases we must work

    through to lead effectively.



    I have worked with leaders from very diverse backgrounds, serving a wide range of

    stakeholder groups, and work with clients to make sense of their own culture within their

    context and how this can be used to support them from a strengths-based perspective.
