Success Stories
“Whether it is watching Dr. Martinez conduct meetings, negotiate with possible speakers, or teach complex materials herself, one has to realize there is a master at work. She has an extremely polished manner at all times. My sense of her extraordinary strength and grace under pressure was only reinforced when I participated in an international Compliance Congress in Sao Paulo in August of 2012, where Dr. Martinez presented to an audience of 500 and also to small groups of 30-40 people. In both she was in command of the topic, used slides in an engaging way, entertained and addressed questions fluidly, and just generally presented herself as a most approachable expert.“
– from a retired professor and director of a major university’s Compliance and Business Ethics Program
