Marketing Director

Nicole

She helped me wrap my head around a cohesive strategy for my job search at a high level, and then worked with me on specific, practical action items to make networking not only useful but self-perpetuating. I also appreciated her insight on my cover letter and résumé, which allowed me to create drafts that can be customized quickly. Maëlle was warm and considerate and frequently checked in about how our sessions were working for me. She made me feel like she really understood where I was coming from and helped me play to my strengths."

"My time with Maëlle was incredibly productive and useful.

Nonprofit Leader

Evan

Her calm energy and brilliantly probing questions combined with her detailed follow-up emails and helpful homework create a framework for you to see yourself and your career from a completely new perspective. If that is what you are looking for, you will find it here."

""Maelle is a generous and care-filled career coach.

Coaching Client

Before I began the coaching process, I felt overwhelmed and burned out. I knew that I wanted and needed a major change, but I was very uncertain about how my skills and experience could translate to a new sector. Now, I have a clear vision for how to tell my career story and how my strengths can be applied in all kinds of roles. I feel energized and excited to explore what comes next.”

"Working with Maelle brought the clarity and structure to my career transition process that I was seeking.

Small Business Owner

Erica

"During this year, I was a participant in Maëlle’s group coaching program. Maëlle led me and several others through a process where we raised a pressing issue in our professional lives. Maëlle is professional, warm, thoughtful and contains a wealth of experience and knowledge. Anyone seeking clarity and success with professional or life goals would highly benefit from her services."

"Through highly skilled coaching practices, Maëlle helped me to gain clarity on my professional goals and take actionable steps toward growing my business.

Group coaching participant

I’m thankful to this group for helping me find some space to dedicate just to myself and consider finding new ways to build on that as a mom/wife/female/professional/human. This world is intense, so it was great to take a breath, get centered with the meditation and think about new perspectives. Thank you SO, SO much!"

""Maëlle is WONDERFUL and I’m so happy that I was introduced to her to be able to participate in this experience
