My love of teaching and training others to achieve their personal best prompted me to start my real estate coaching business. My clients appreciate the fact that “I have been there, done that”—having started in solo practice as a Realtor with a traditional broker, built a team within entrepreneurial franchises, and my husband, Sandy and I started Martha Hendrick & Company, which was named one of the top ten independent brokerage companies in metro Houston.

As the late Tom Landry, former coach of the Dallas Cowboys, once said, “A coach is someone who gets you to do what you don't want to do, so you can be who you want to be.”

Coaching is a buzzword within real estate and business circles today. Who hires a coach and why? They want more. They want to grow. They want it easier. Coaches help a client get all three. Coaching is proven to work when two factors are present: The client is willing to learn, grow, and take action. There is a gap between where he/she is now and where he/she wants to be. A successful coaching relationship happens when you can develop the right strategy, implement a plan of action, and achieve your goals.

Not only am I a real estate expert, having grown my business from being a single agent, to building teams,, and later, my own successful real estate company. I have also taken the next step of going back to school, and am a Certified Coach, and a member of the International Coach Federation. How do you select a coach? Very much like a buyer or seller selects a Realtor— making the right “match.” Interview coaches, and see what their style is—their philosophy of coaching—how you might work with them on a telephone weekly conference? Here are what a few of my clients have to say…

“Martha Hendrick's style of coaching worked for me—her knowledge, her direction, her logic helped move me forward. My clarity, my thinking on a daily basis is different. Accomplishments? New focus. New direction. New action. New attitude—this will inspire the results that I choose for my family and business.”
