Professional Experience
Donna Martin brings a diverse professional background spanning healthcare, coaching, mentoring, and transformational leadership. With more than fifteen years as a registered nurse across oncology, haematology, and palliative care environments, she developed strong capability in high-pressure decision making, emotional intelligence, and human-centred support.
Additionally, her work mentoring nurses, facilitating CPR training, and supporting university students strengthened her ability to translate complex knowledge into practical, usable guidance. Because of this, organisations and individuals benefit from capability development that is both compassionate and operationally grounded.
As Founder of The Goodlife Approach, Donna now supports clients globally through online coaching, mentoring, and legacy redesign programs. Her lived experience navigating significant life adversity further strengthens the authenticity and depth she brings to transformational work.
Her work remains grounded in application rather than theory. Consequently, clients engage Donna when they require clarity, resilience, and intentional legacy direction.
