Career & leadership coach

Maria as a coach helped me navigate my path toward achieving my professional dreams. Her insights were invaluable in helping me identify the right people to connect with and the key questions to ask. With her guidance, I developed a clear action plan that transformed my career aspirations into tangible steps. I felt empowered to communicate my goals and intentions, even in challenging situations like approaching my boss. Maria’s support has truly been a catalyst for my growth and success.

Working with Maria has been a transformative experience for me. I started out feeling uncertain about my career path and overwhelmed by the interview process. She guided me through the challenging question of envisioning my career growth. Thanks to Maria's coaching, I landed my dream job with a global technology company within a few months after we started coaching.

Coaching opened a door to a new world for me, especially in navigating transitions. My perspective has shifted; I've moved to a different mental space. I've clarified my thinking and recognized the power of storytelling in the workplace. I approach problems with greater clarity and have transformed how I perceive myself and my presence at work. Allowing myself to be "me" while adding value has been a significant outcome of the coaching process.

Before I started working with Maria, I often found it difficult to articulate my needs at work, leading to misunderstandings and frustration. Through Maria's guidance, I've learned to express myself more accurately, which has transformed my interactions with colleagues and improved my overall work environment. I've noticed a remarkable change in my ability to convey my thoughts and vision, fostering better relationships and collaboration at work.

I feel like I scored with Maria as a coach. She was a perfect match for me and I can’t ask for a better professional to guide me on my leadership path! Thank you for your support and feedback today and at every session! I feel prepared to ask for what I need and I feel more clear on how to speak to my organization and vision for the future. I appreciate you and the work we are doing!!

We worked with Maria for 3 months. I initially wanted to better understand where I want to go in my career and life in general. In this process I've connected to what's next for me; it’s genuine, and it’s truly reflective of me at this point in my life.
I find it fascinating to be on a road that is completely different and challenges me in ways that are not like what I do now. Also, it's refreshing to have that different experience going on. I can see how the "curious, not critical" lets me be exactly where I should be, be ok with that, and produce work in a space that is deep, moving, unexplored, and without boundaries.
I got excellent direction from Maria on how to consider passion, cause and process. I like her analytical thinking combined with a holistic approach to coaching which means to me that I'm not going to miss anything.

When I started coaching with Maria, I was concerned about my stress levels and emotional state. The work that I do is challenging, high pressure and fast moving. I was frustrated and dissatisfied at work which was visible to my leadership. I felt stuck and powerless. Towards the end of the coaching program with Maria I was able to push those challenges aside and focus on the work. I learnt how to cope with stress and connect to what’s important to me as well as set healthy boundaries. I really value your contribution to this work and your care, both personally and professionally.

Sessions with Maria are always helpful. I feel like each time I always walk away with new ideas. She helps me finesse my leadership style and jog my memory on management concepts that I had forgotten about. I am a better leader as a result of this coaching program with Maria.

I appreciated new ways of looking into my current work situation. I’ve gained a different perspective which is much more powerful and clear. I’ve also got the feedback from senior management that I am leading with more authority which is the focus area of our coaching program. Thank you, Maria!

Maria has far exceeded my expectations. She works beyond just helping you get "another job" and has opened my eyes to so many possibilities. She has helped stretch and yet support me in this journey. So grateful to have found her!

The coaching process helped me get to the next level as a leader. I found my "north star" in  what matters and what adds real value to the business. Thank you for supporting me to get my promotion and coaching me through the critical early months of my new leadership role!
Maria challenged me to embrace the self-doubt that had held me back for too long. I began to see that the "big role" I had previously considered out of reach could indeed be mine. With newfound confidence and a clearer vision of my next steps, I am now ready to pursue opportunities that will not only enhance my financial impact but also allow me to showcase my skills and leadership.

As a leader navigating the complexities of my next career stage, I had the privilege of working with Maria who profoundly transformed my perspective on my professional journey. Initially, I found myself at a crossroads: I was questioning not only my role but also my own aspirations. I knew I didn't want to start over later in my career, but the desire for something bigger and more meaningful had begun to stir within me.

Through our sessions, I discovered the importance of approaching my next career move with a strategic mindset. The coaching process prompted me to dive deep into my motivations —something I had neglected for years. I realized what kind of role I wanted to pursue. The clarity I gained about my potential path forward was invaluable.

The coaching experience also helped me recognize my worth and the need for exposure and scope that aligns with my ambitions.

Within a few months I landed my dream job with a global tech company.

I gained the confidence to step into a bigger role and negotiated resources I wouldn’t have dared ask for before.
