Relational Leadership Guide
For courageous leaders who feel how impossible & exhausting it can be to cope with the limits of the system – where the same relationship struggles persist!
Why Relational Leadership? Leadership isn’t just about roles or titles—it’s about how we shape the conversations, relationships, and culture around us. I work with people who sense that the quality of their relationships is central to the change they want to see, and who are ready to take responsibility for how they show up influences the world around them.

Meet Martha
Martha Williams is a relational leadership coach and longtime creator and facilitator of conversations that matter. Her work is rooted in the belief that leadership lives in relationship—in how we listen, speak, and stay present with one another, especially in moments of tension or change. It’s about the containers we create and the deep awareness we embody.
Martha is the cofounder of BreakBread World, a community of Conversation Activists dedicated to reweaving our shared humanity. With BreakBread World she designs and leads spaces for connection as well as trains people in Conversation Alchemy, a conversation practice model her and her partner and cofounder created.
She has a creative background in film, dance, writing or whatever she feels like getting her hands on. She also has a long history with sustainability activism, and systems thinking—an uncommon blend that shapes her grounded, intuitive, creative and embodied approach. Martha has an MFA from California Institute of the Arts, has been certified as a Co-Active Coach at the pre-eminent The Coaching Training Institute and certified as a yoga teacher at OM Yoga in New York City. As a former dancer, she brings a deep somatic, spatial and visual intelligence to her work. She draws much of her learning from Regina Thomashauer and Kasia Urbaniak, which both helped her develop her attention practices and helps her to understand how the role of feminine and masculine energies shape our understanding and ways of moving through the world.
She brings presence, discernment, and deep respect for the human terrain of leadership—supporting clients to lead differently, and in doing so, to shift the world around them!
