Martin Kettelhut PhD
Martin received his PhD from Temple University in Philadelphia, and began his career as professor of ethics, logic and aesthetics at Villanova and Drexel Universities in Pennsylvania. His coaching practice grows out of a deep desire to take his PhD in philosophy into the market place and, like Socrates, make a difference for people through transformative conversation.
Since 1997, the lion's share of Martin’s clients are professionals in financial services (from UBS, Merrill Lynch, Smith Barney, Morgan Stanley, Prudential), as well as other entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors, accountants, clergy, even a food-&-wine critic. Martin was Co-founder and Head Coach of The Center for Excellence, a communications consulting firm specializing in training and coaching.
Martin designs and conducts many workshops and seminars worldwide on leadership, teambuilding and communication. He facilitates the Iris Forum, the first multipartisan environmental think tank; and he co-leads the “Insight to Action” and “Mastery” Coaching Programs for www.jonesassociatesinc.com.
Dr. Kettelhut maintains that bodily health, stillness of mind, and spiritual growth are crucial to the results he and his clients have produced together over the years. He is an avid swimmer, classical pianist, and counts among his highest achievements summiting Mount Kilimanjaro in August of 2000.
