I was very happy with my session with Mayra. She gave me some great actionable tips and suggestions for best next steps. She was a great listener and helped me figure out the best way forward in starting up my business. She provided me with structure and clarity about my next steps. I would recommend her for anyone looking to take the next step in their career.

I am so glad that I booked a session with Mayra. I wanted to book a session with someone who would be able to help me navigate the next steps to feel fulfilled in my career and volunteer life. My online presence, resume, and Cover Letter are all up to date so it was refreshing just to have a conversation with someone who could help me get to the bottom of my passions and next steps. I did not know what to expect from this coaching session because I left it very open ended, but it was beyond any expectations that I had. After this first hour, I had so much clarity on where I could pour myself into next. I am so grateful to Mayra for being an amazing coach and helping me put words and action steps into something that has been at me for months. I strongly recommend Mayra to anyone looking for their next steps in a career.
