For the hardworking tech professional who wants to inspire action, communicate effectively, and exude confidence...

Claim your free 30-minute "Confident Leader" consultation.

As a busy professional, you have a lot to juggle! Between understanding requirements, collaborating within a company, and executing on assignments, it is challenging to also focus on becoming an influential leader and communicator. It is especially tough to do this without relevant guidance.


Yet, your team, supervisors, and peers look to you to set the tone as a dynamic and effective leader.


Now imagine being recognized as a confident, respected leader WHILE successfully implementing strategies.


If you seek a competitive edge by becoming a more well-rounded and inspirational leader, this program is for you!

Your complimentary session offers tailored support from the privacy and comfort of your own home. All sessions are strictly confidential.

In working with me, you get…

01

Specific & Customized Guidance (based on where you are today)

You can take all of the training and read all of the books you’d like (in fact, I highly encourage this), but nothing compares to 1:1 coaching with expert guidance that allows you to practice and implement in a safe container. All of my sessions are private and confidential and contain personalized feedback based on where you are today.


As an avid reader and program attendee, I have yet to find the level of growth available from 1:1 custom coaching. The support and ongoing accountability often make the difference between staying stuck in theory and moving past discomfort and into implementation.

02

Relevant Expertise

As a former Startup Executive turned Certified Executive Coach, I have a unique perspective and understanding of the often hidden company culture, organizational strategy, and coaching that actually drives results.


I am often aware of the context and challenges surrounding managing up, down, and across, communicating effectively, and enrolling others. This allows us to move quicker and deeper than other general coaching containers.

03

Sustainable Transformation

The elements that often impact our ability to lead at work are initially technical in nature, but over time, as we take on more responsibilities, we realize the obstacles to our leadership potential center more around emotional intelligence, effective communication, and embodied confidence.


Often, the reasons for our struggles in these areas are not obvious, and learning skills to mask these challenges can work in the short term. However, the changes are not sustainable if there are root-cause perceptions or experiences impacting our ability to show up as our best leaders.


In working with me, we unpack any underlying causes and transform these into empowering states so that when leadership skills are applied they are sustained and genuine.

04

Compassionate Collaboration

My approach to working with clients has been described as incredibly compassionate and caring. I truly believe in every single one of my clients and hold them to their highest possibility.


Since I believe that everyone, at their core, has a healthy, compassionate, brilliant self that is merely obscured by their parts, it is natural for me to see the unique strengths of each of my clients and help them release anything holding them back.

05

The “shortcut” to trial-and-error

I myself have invested over a decade in training, coaching, and programs to develop as a leader. I have witnessed what works and what doesn’t, and my wish is to help my clients shortcut this process with concrete and effective guidance.


My approach is holistic and comprehensive yet efficient at the same time because I love breaking frameworks and methodologies down into the most essential components that really move the needle.

This custom coaching program is exclusively reserved for ambitious leaders who:

  • Want to positively impact the world while creating productive and engaging work environments
  • Want a competitive edge
  • Are already good at what they do but want to take their leadership to the next level
  • Care about providing value and being in integrity as much as they care about making a great income
  • Are committed to showing up and setting themselves up for long-term success

But I can't help you if:

X You are not willing to be coached or challenged as you grow and develop into an incredible leader

X You are looking for overnight hacks and tips

X You don’t want to be the kind of leader who cares about their team

Before scheduling your call, remember:

This is an intimate and powerful coaching program that requires commitment. If this sounds like what you're looking for...

Emotions getting in the way of productivity?

"I genuinely believe you'd benefit from her coaching style! She's helped me recognize, understand, and release emotions that used to have me shut down or feel empty. Before I started working with Maria, I felt like I would have days where I was very productive, and then something would trigger me. Focusing on work allowed me to channel that energy into making money, but after a while, that empty feeling would surface. I no longer avoid these feelings, allowing me to deeply connect with others and be sustainably productive."

- Calaunte W, CEO and Founder

Struggling with your entire outlook?

"Words cannot describe how helpful your sessions have been for me! Before working together, I was an emotional disaster. I tried self-talk and cookie-cutter employer-provided counseling, but I was not making any progress. I felt as though we were not addressing the underlying issues associated with why I felt or acted as I did. After working together, my entire outlook has shifted. I don’t feel as though I’m alone, trapped in a dark place. I’m again able to find happiness. Your methods are compassionate, very insightful, and effective. Thank you for your help!"

- Joe D, PM

Plateaued or stuck in your career?

"Since working together, my career is on a steady upward trajectory; I’ve made new friends, and internally, I’ve noticed significant positive changes. I’ve been in therapy off and on since I was eighteen. But for various reasons, I was not able to solve the issues that I was facing. Maria, on the other hand, creates an environment of comfort and safety. She will guide you toward self-discovery and allow you the space to become who you want to be. You will feel seen. Emotions that have been buried will find catharsis, and you'll find that change is possible."

- Julian C, Software Engineer
