You want to do something meaningful, right?
And I wanted to when I went into a completely new field in a “made for me” position.
It was a beautiful summer.
At the beginning of it I accepted a job offer where I had the freedom to experiment.
From my very first interview, I was inspired by the wonderful technological world that was opening up to me.
IT people were a new, unusual and so inspiring breed!
For the first time I began to understand what “corporate culture” was and fell in love with it!
I was so enthusiastic and grateful that I was constantly looking for ways to fit my personality into its requirements.
How do I contribute?
What are my values?
Who am I really?
What is the greater me that I want to contribute to?
Answering questions like these helped me recognize that my desire to fit into the corporate environment had clouded my real aspirations for the world I wanted to live in.
My admiration for my colleagues and the good conditions proved insufficient because I had no real context to use even 20% of my potential to help people connect with themselves, with others, and with the world.
From my first month in the company, I organized meetings with new colleagues.
In them, I opened up a space for them to address their values and find intersections with those of the company.
With most of the teams, we used the results of questionnaires as a gateway to share what was truly important to everyone.
And they saw themselves as people.
As people with interests, opinions and surprising intersections.
A genuine curiosity about people reminded me that each of us is inspiringly different and deserves to be honoured.
I always met him on my way.
I grew up in an area with different ethnicities living in understanding.
For about a year I worked psychotherapeutically with “difficult children” at a social rehabilitation and integration center.
On more than one occasion I had colleagues of different nationalities.
I did an internship in a residential home for people with mental health problems.
To appreciate the thoughts and emotions of the person in front of me is innate to me.
Maybe that’s why I chose to study Psychology at university.
I then went on to Art Therapy, Psychodrama and Coaching.
Encouraging people to express themselves is a constant part of my story.
I know from experience that it takes courage, connection and understanding to allow ourselves to be authentic.
Significant achievements take courage,
commitment and progress.
I’m excited to be your
partner in this if you’re
ready to act!

Initially I approached coaching as a system with suspicion. For you, I already knew that you were a true professional - with all the sense and weight of that - but for coaching I had hesitations, as there are many systems that present themselves as coaching but do not meet the ethical rules and create a fallacy. Now that I also know through personal experience what pure coaching is, I can't stop telling my family about it. A powerful tool that everyone needs to have access to in order to develop.
When we first started, I chose to work on changing my internal mindset, which I have struggled with my whole life so far, but still couldn't move forward. I must admit I didn't expect this outcome - in 6 sessions I was able to resolve my case. A case that - I note again - I have been struggling with all my life. I still can't even believe how I didn't know how powerful a tool coaching is before. It accelerates many times the speed at which you move towards your goals. And something else key that it has helped me with - it has given me tools that I can use to tackle other issues that have arisen on my own, and a mindset that has improved my quality of life significantly.
Thank you!

Working with Maria has helped me to open my eyes to the aspects of my business and life that are worth paying attention to, so that I can experience both satisfaction in my work and see objective positive results.
Before we started working together, I felt some skepticism about whether coaching would benefit me. My previous experiences with other professionals in the field had never led me to clear results or a change in attitude. That was the key difference with Maria. From our very first conversation, I could feel my core values coming to the surface, which I had assumed but never clearly systematized. This allowed me within 4-5 sessions to build a plan and revamp my website and business funnel. A fundamental and intimidatingly large task that I had been putting off for years.
The most important benefits I found from working with Maria were crystal clarity about who I am, a possible direction for my development going forward, and wonderful conditions to structure my next steps so that I could take down fear and resistance to achieving them.
I highly recommend Maria to anyone who is wasting tremendous energy in confusion and doubt rather than using it to propel their life in the direction that is most valuable to themselves.
Maria listened to me, pushed and provoked me to find solutions that I could actually implement.
When I started working with her, I had just completed a leadership skills course. If it hadn't been for her, I'm sure I would have never started applying what I learned there.
At the time, I was struggling with understanding and communication within my team, felt under-performing and lacked the confidence to be the leader I wanted to be.
Coaching with her helped me tremendously to find common ground with each team member and be an effective leader.
I realized that a big and seemingly impossible goal is achieved in small steps. And that in addition to getting started, it is also important to be consistent in your actions to achieve the goal. Our sessions helped me develop my self-control and answer the really important questions, like "How many units of time invested today will pay off tomorrow?" I came to believe that there are no impossible things and that with the right motivation and desire anything can be achieved. I have changed my outlook and am able to step back and see the "big picture" more easily.
When we started working, I wanted to become a more confident and effective leader. The space, provocation and tools he gave me helped me achieve this and continue to develop.
Maria is one of those rare people who can really listen. She gives space and security, trust and respect, which I find to be extremely subtle skills.
Before we started working together, I was not good at negotiating and presenting my position independently. I waited for the inevitable ''right moment.'' I had a hard time standing up for my values, goals and boundaries.
Working with Maria helped me to identify the forces that move me forward. First to myself and then to clearly articulate them to my collective. The key for me is that I learned a set of tools to improve what I have already achieved in the future.
