Part 1: Close Up Radio Spotlights Leadership Coach Martha King De Silva

Washington, DC – Martha King De Silva is the founder of Nascent Leadership Coaching, where she helps individuals adopt new and better behaviors for thriving in their new position.

“Nascent means growing and developing,” says De Silva. “I work with anyone who is interested in developing and growing their career and navigating the thorny issues of leadership in the current world.”

For many of De Silva’s clients, this requires broadening their own view of what being a leader is. De Silva works with her clients to take their careers to the next level by achieving an appropriate balance of work and life, becoming more efficient in the execution of their work, improving their professional confidence and executive presence and inspiring excellent performance from their teams.

According to De Silva, even small behavioral changes can make being a leader achievable. Coaching offers an opportunity to engage in the behaviors that can help leaders be more effective and happier in their work.

“I think coaching is turning into something I find much more appealing, which is that companies are using coaching more for high potential employees they believe can go the distance,” says De Silva. “Let's use coaches to invest in the people who have demonstrated potential that we want to reward and help get to the next level.”

De Silva says the best coaching relationships are those in which there is complete openness and vulnerability and a real willingness, to be better.
