Cathy Burnham Martin
Dubbed "The Morale Booster," Cathy is noted as an inspirational speaker, natural leader, and savvy trainer. Keynotes, seminars, and workshops are remembered as entertaining, info-packed, and passionate. As a corporate and organizational communications coach, she places special emphasis on boosting the success of charities and non-profits.
A business author and marketing consultant, she has been teaching her "Wow with No Ow"© public speaking and media skills through SpeakEasy Communications since 1994. An award-winning broadcast journalist, Cathy also has numerous publishing credits, including:
- The Miles-Mannered Man (a delightfully philosophical collection of tall tales, wagging tails, and tantalizing treats for dog lovers)
- A Healthier You (featuring her "Seven Attitude Skills Simplified")
- The Communication Coach (including her "Taming the Media" tips)
In her multi-book series are:
- Fifty Years of Family Favorites
- Sage, Time & Other Life Seasonings
For television, she wrote, produced, and hosted the "Life Matters" series on people and events positively changing lives, more than three hundred episodes of "New Hampshire Minutes," and dozens of award-winning documentaries, TV specials and news reports.
Speaking and workshop programs have been developed through expertise gleaned from a highly eclectic background. Cathy has worked in telecommunications marketing, organized a bank, created marketing programs, managed corporate event planning, led major charitable development efforts, managed a PEG community access TV station, and is a professional stage actress.
While all her presentations are carefully customized, among her popular topics are:
- Recruit-Retain-Revitalize
- Growing GREAT leaders
- Twisting like a pretzel without losing your salt
- Why attitude beats aptitude 99% of the time
- Riding the Age Wave
- Building blocks for collaboration
- Becoming the light or the mirror that reflects it
- Reinventing yourself for success
- How the media gets away with thinking it thinks for us
In 2009 Cathy graduated from Northeastern University with a Master of Science degree in Corporate and Organizational Communications, earning the top academic achievement award for maintaining a 4.0 GPA.
A dedicated community service activist, Cathy was honored in December, 2009, with one of Easter Seals top awards, the David P. Goodwin Lifetime Commitment Award. Cathy's volunteer endeavors span more than thirty years.
She and her husband, Ron, share passions for travel, cooking, interior design, landscaping, and gardening.
