success stories
I engaged Maria with the view to achieving more clarity in my work and overall career. I found the work we did very engaging and energetic whilst at the same time providing a sense of spacious peace, in which I could reflect and plan how I wanted to shape the next chapter of my career. The whole process gave me a very uplifted sense of possibility for furthering my vision, work and career.
Melita
Renewable Energy Consultant & Entrepreneur, Mozambique
I left the workshop feeling uplifted and empowered. The act of recognising my past successes and identifying future goals, was a hugely powerful experience. Maria and Maja’s workshop is a supportive and safe environment, in which I was able to unpick my goals and aspirations. Having contemplated and worked through a plan for the career change I so desired, I was able to leave with a clear set of actions as to what to do next.
Gaynor
Marketing Professional, Bangkok
Maria and Maja are amazing facilitators – they talked me through the process, asking the right questions to enable me to explore the issues and come up with solutions for myself. The most powerful element for me was constructing the story board, which made me reflect on myself, my accomplishments and areas I want to work on. It also gave me the ability to map out my pathway from A to B to C and onwards.
Joanne
Education Consultant, Chiang Mai
Mapping out the timeline of my career and life and the insights I took from that was very powerful. I left with a greater understanding of myself and a plan of where I wanted to take both my career and personal life. It became clear to me that I wanted to make decisions and goals not just for a career but also, for personal happiness.
Jeanette
Marketing Director, Chiang Mai
I came to this programme to find my ground and establish a starting point for a new chapter in both business and personal life. It led me to discover that I have in fact achieved more than I had ever let myself believe. That was so powerful for me. Sharing the journey with others also helped me to come back with all kinds of new ideas and pointers. I left with a new discovery, a plan to stick to and an abundance of self assurance.
Somporn
Entrepreneur, Chiang Mai
There was one particular session that gave me the confidence to approach senior established professionals as peers, acknowledging that even though I had taken a parenting pause for a while, I was gifted and have so much to offer in my sector. I am not completely where I want to be yet, but having engaged in this process, I believe I now have the confidence and sense of self worth to help open up the right doors going forward.
Jennie
Social Exclusion project manager, London
Maria proved invaluable as I navigated my way from an extended parenting chapter through to a revitalised career. She guided me through the process with love, care and heaps of humour. From there, I was able to define my path and priorities and plan a career strategy. My self confidence grew and I found myself able to re-align my self image to be more outward focused. She also provided with tons of tips whether around interview techniques or best ways to approach people proactively. Now two years on, I am still reaping the benefits. From a small start, I now have an ever-expanding client base working in a sector which I love. Thank you Maria!
