Option one

Career transitioning

Often unfulfilled by your day's work, doubting your job uses your zone of genius, or craving the inspiration to do something different? I get it. I've been there.

You'll

Clarify your next career move

Figure out if it's time for a new chapter, and understand what really matters to you so you can navigate the big decisions.

You'll

Turn dreams into achievable goals

Work out what you're meant to do and transition confidently into fulfilling work that matters to you.

We meet on Zoom, with video, in a safe space to dive deep into where you are, who you are and where you want to be. Each session is tailored so you reclaim your voice, gain self-confidence and trust your decisions. I'll be your cheerleader and accountability partner.

No challenge is too big and no dream is out of reach. Whether your next chapter is music producer, yoga teacher, life coach or founder of your own beer company, I can help you make the transition smoothly.

I was at a crossroads in my career and Maria was there to explore my options and guide me through my job search. Our sessions kept my anxiety in check, especially during interviews. With her help, I secured a new role at a new company!

I was at a plateau and needed a direction I was passionate about again. Maria helped me uncover core beliefs holding me back. Now I've committed to larger, more aligned and ambitious goals I never would have considered.

Executive presence

Want to engage, align and inspire people to act? Executive presence is often the missing link between merit and success.

Leaders without executive presence often stall, despite having the experience and qualifications. Whether you're new or seasoned, we'll refine the skills that give you more influence and impact: awareness, curiosity, communication, accountability, inspiring action, valuing differences and a possibility mindset that shows the essence of your leadership brand.

I also work specifically with women in tech who want to reach their full leadership potential. Past projects include the Women in Tech programme with LinkedIn, High Performing Leaders with Twitch, Reddit's Key Talent Program, and work with HubSpot and G-Hub.

I came into career coaching without much knowledge of what it was, but left after six sessions feeling like I had grown enormously in my professional and personal life. Maria was able to identify my blind spots.

Become an entrepreneur

Started your business and unsure what to focus on first? Or ready to put your idea into action but unsure where to begin? I've been there.

Being an entrepreneur means wearing many hats, most of them new. After ten-plus years with big multinationals and building my own business, I've learned that we all take different routes to our goal. We'll find your unique way to make your business shine.

Together we'll set a solid foundation for your brand, whether it's a yoga studio, a travel consultancy, a gaming app or music production, identify strategies to build your online presence, and map the next step forward. Where it helps, I'll connect you with my own resources.

Maria's coaching is positive, intentional, focused and inspiring. She dives straight into what I'm committed to in my business. Behind the scenes, she checks my work and gives feedback between sessions.
