ABOUT DONNA
Life doesn't always go to plan.
I know that from lived experience.
After more than 15 years in nursing and caring for hundreds of people at the end of their lives, you learn a lot about people, life and what really matters.
I'm Donna Martin, founder of The Good Life Approach, mentor and speaker.
I am known for taking things that feel complicated and making them simple, relatable and easy to apply.
MY STORY
I've learned a lot about life from the people I've cared for and the moments that didn't go to plan.
This is a piece of my story — and why I do the work I do today.
The plan had changed.
The vision hadn't.

DONNA TODAY
Donna's experiences have shaped a simple philosophy.
We can't always control what happens.
But we can choose how we respond to it.
But we can choose how we respond to it.
That thinking sits behind The Goodlife Approach and Donna's work with individuals, teams and organisations.
Donna takes ideas that can feel complicated and turns them into practical tools people can remember and actually use when life happens.

Life will throw things at you that you never planned for.
The question isn't whether it will happen.
It's what you do next.
