Mayda Poc – Career Strategist

Because you deserve a fulfilling life, with the job, the title, and the pay to match

Is your current job meeting your expectations?

There is more to a job than a list of tasks.

Your job is a reflection of your potential and the vehicle for the impact you want to have on the world around you.

Is your current career path aligned with your expectations, ambitions, your wants, and needs?

Do you feel fulfilled, achieved, energized and positively challenged where you are?

Is it time to take your Leadership presence several notches up?

As a Career Strategist and Executive Coach with 16 years in Investment Banking, having worked with executives, CMOs, and Team Leaders of all levels since 2016, I know first-hand that:

  1. a job has more to it than only a paycheck,
  2. a career is not a series of random events,
  3. that a title matters,
  4. that each of us has a Leadership potential that has been largely untapped because of no time, urgent tasks that cannot wait… and
  5. that ultimately what matters is to feel impactful, to find balance and purpose in both the career and outside.

Is it time for you to take that first step?  Let’s chat! You can schedule a 30 minute free consultation here, or contact me here for more information.
