About You & Me
I work with business owners, senior leaders, board members, individuals navigating life transitions, and coaches seeking supervision. What my clients share is a desire to pause, reflect, and realign - often at moments when the path ahead feels uncertain, or when they’re expected to inspire confidence in others while questioning their own.
What We Might Explore
Through coaching, we might work on:
Navigating pivotal transitions - whether it’s stepping into senior roles, leaving corporate life, starting something new, adapting across cultures, preparing for retirement, or facing the personal changes that come with different stages of life.
Gaining clarity about who you are, what you want out of life, and the values that guide your choices.
Exploring your relationship with yourself and others, strengthening confidence, trust, and collaboration.
Recognising and shifting patterns that may hold you back, opening space for resilience, creativity, and growth.
Deepening your ability to respond to uncertainty and pressure while remaining grounded and effective.
Enhancing your leadership and influence - building presence, expanding your repertoire of styles, and fostering stronger relationships at work and beyond.
My Approach
My coaching is both holistic and systemic: we work with the whole person, not just the professional role, as well as the wider context you operate in. Real progress happens when we attend to both the external choices you face and the inner landscape that shapes how you show up, relate, and navigate complexity.
Through coaching, I help you discover what feels right for you. By developing trusting relationships and holding a safe space, I support you in exploring your inner world while also paying attention to the wider systems you are part of and the relationships that matter most.
Clients often tell me that they value the balance I bring between empathy and challenge - compassion and perceptiveness on one hand, and gentle challenge with persistent inquiry on the other. From that safety and balance, they find the inspiration and courage to experiment with new ways of leading and living, strengthen key relationships, and often uncover fresh insights about themselves.
As one client put it: “Maria has a rare skill in helping people explore the unspoken doubts and challenges that most of us carry. Talking about what usually stays unsaid is often the first step to sustainable change.”
Working Together & Investment in Coaching
We start with a free chemistry call to see whether we are the right fit for each other. Based on my long experience, you’ll need to be willing to commit to a minimum of six coaching sessions in order to make real progress.
The investment in coaching varies depending on a few factors: whether you are self-funding or sponsored by your organisation, the size and context of your business, and the number of sessions you wish to commit to. I would be happy to provide details once we’ve had an initial conversation.
We can work face to face or virtually. I bring presence, experience, and the ability to both support and challenge you. You bring curiosity, motivation, and commitment. Together, our results will be amazing!
