ABOUT MARTIN OAKLEY

As owner of The Alternative Board (TAB) here in Cambridge, I help local business owners reach their full potential in business and beyond. I’ll leave it to my TAB members to explain how…1-2-1 Coaching:“Martin has a wealth of experience, and it’s clear that he genuinely enjoys helping others. His approach is simple yet effective. By offering clear thinking, dependable advice and most importantly accountability, his coaching has helped to reduce the noise and create focus. Through his sage advice and patient listening, our management team has become more effective at both the strategic and day-to-day level. It’s great to have him on our team.”Peer Advisory Boards: “Joining a TAB board starts as an antidote for imposter syndrome and ends up providing accountability for how you are running your business. The act of stepping back each month to gain a new perspective, helped by the fresh insights and advice of fellow business owners, is a helpful practice that makes you intentional rather than reactive in your work.”Alan Mitchell, Founder & Director of Fluent (Cambridge) Ltd - https://this.isfluent.com - a TAB member since October 2023. ….1-2-1 Coaching:“Martin’s coaching style is a perfect blend of encouragement and challenge. His guidance has had a significant impact on my decision-making, helping me step back, see the bigger picture, and approach challenges with greater clarity. His ability to ask the right questions and challenge my thinking in a constructive way has been invaluable. Whether it’s refining strategy, handling difficult conversations, or exploring new opportunities, Martin consistently offers fresh perspectives that lead to better outcomes.”Peer Advisory Boards: “The TAB Peer Advisory Board meetings have been just as valuable, providing a trusted space to share experiences and gain insights from other business leaders. Engaging with peers from different industries has reinforced how common many challenges are and provided practical solutions I wouldn’t have reached on my own. The collective wisdom of the group, combined with Martin’s expert facilitation, has been an invaluable asset.”Hasan Avcu, MD - co-founder of Tesu Health - https://tesuhealth.com - a TAB member since September 2024.Further testimonials from TAB Cambridge members can be found in the Recommendations section of my LinkedIn profile.If you\'d like to explore the power of peer support with TAB, lets grab a coffee and have chat.[m••••••@thealternativeboard.co.uk]
