EXECUTIVE COACHING

FOR WOMEN LEADING

IN IMPACT

Lead with clarity and influence,

without carrying more than your share.

Looking for a female executive coach to up-level your career and life?

YOU’VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE

Hi, I’m Mariya, a Conscious Executive Coach for women leading in impact.

LET’S CONNECT

A confidential call to see if this work aligns. No pressure. Just clarity.

Trusted by female leaders across development finance, energy access, sustainable investing, and mission-driven organisations.

WHAT CHANGES WHEN WOMEN LEAD DIFFERENTLY

“I have shifted profoundly from feeling constantly under pressure and overwhelmed to feeling in control, confident, and resilient as a leader.

When I joined, my goal was to learn how to effectively deal with delegation, procrastination, and finding work life balance. With the new skills, habits, and mindset I learned and practiced over the year, I can attest that l am now more effective at delegating, tackling my to-do list with focus, and allowing others to put out their own fires so I can think more strategically and find some me time - mission accomplished!”

— Helen Z., Regional Director, Ignite Energy Access

“Mariya will guide you to a better version of yourself.

My life has done a complete 180 in almost all areas. I am proud of the woman and mother l am and don’t carry around overwhelming feelings of guilt as I did before. I am happy in my own skin and can spend time in my own company, with my own thoughts with ease. This is transformational for me.”

— Lizzie W., Business Owner Mukwano Tours Ltd.

YOU’RE ALREADY LEADING - BUT AT WHAT COST?

You’ve done the hard work to get here.

Now it’s time to lead, without over-proving, over-owning, or burning out.

LET’S CONNECT

Let’s explore what your next level of leadership could look like, with more clarity, presence, and ease.

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

You want to lead with clarity and calm authority that feels deeply aligned and fully yours.

You lead with heart.

But the mission can’t keep coming at the cost of your well-being or your family.

You’re trusted.

And the work piles up, but where’s the recognition, influence, or real growth?

You’ve done the courses, coaching, and reflection.

Some things have shifted, and still, old patterns resurface when the pressure rises.

You want to communicate clearly and confidently.

Without over-preparing, second-guessing, or replaying conversations afterward.

You’re not alone. This is what high-capacity, impact-driven women are quietly navigating every day.

WHAT MAKES THIS WORK DEEPER?

Leadership strategies matter, but they only go so far if you’re still driven by pressure, perfection, or over-responsibility.

This work shifts what’s underneath – including untangling your worth from your work — so confidence, boundaries, and presence no longer rely on constant performance.

That’s when tools start to stick. And your leadership authority feels grounded.

WHAT BECOMES POSSIBLE

When you stop performing leadership and start embodying it, everything begins to shift, from the inside out. Not all at once. But in ways that are steady, sustainable, and seen.

You begin to:

  • Speak with calm clarity, even in high-stakes rooms and relationships

  • Be trusted for your judgment, not just your execution

  • Hold boundaries without guilt or over-explaining

  • Make confident decisions with less noise

  • Lead visibly without burning out or shrinking yourself

  • Create space for your life — not just your leadership

These aren’t abstract ideals. They’re what shift when leadership comes for alignment, not constant effort.

A PRIVATE 1:1 COACHING PARTNERSHIP

For women in impact navigating high-stakes leadership —

  • who want to be taken seriously at the right level,

  • trusted for their judgment,

  • and no longer feel like they’re holding everything together alone.

  • who want to be taken seriously at the right level, 

  • trusted for their judgment,

  • and no longer feel like they’re holding everything together alone.

“I feel more centered, grounded, and confident.”

“I am able to show up as my authentic self, be more engaged and curious at work, and more loving and secure in my personal life.

The biggest benefit for me was discovering my zone of genius and learning to be gentle with myself. The experience took me below the surface—to my unconscious beliefs—and gave me tools to start shifting them. 

That kind of depth is rare.”

— Erin F., Head of People and Culture, Jaza

RESULTS THAT MATTER

Here’s what has shifted when women are met with the right guidance, support, and space to grow… not just internally, but in real outcomes in their careers and lives.

CAREER

  • Promoted into roles with broader scope, seniority, or regional/global responsibility

  • Compensation realigned to match impact and level

  • Clear next-step decisions: stepping up, renegotiating scope, or changing direction

  • Repair of politically complex or strained working relationships

LEADERSHIP

  • Leading senior meetings and high-stakes conversations with confidence and authority

  • Being seen and trusted as a strategic leader, not just a reliable executor

  • Holding clearer boundaries without damaging relationships or credibility

  • Delegating more effectively while reducing personal overload

LIFE

  • Noticeably less anxiety, self-doubt, and emotional depletion

  • Greater steadiness during uncertainty, conflict, or transition

  • More energy and presence for life outside work

  • Ability to switch off without guilt

ABOUT MARIYA

I’ve been where you are — navigating unspoken expectations, invisible pressure, and the constant feeling that more is never quite enough.

I’m Mariya, an executive coach working with female leaders in impact, finance, sustainability, and purpose-driven organisations.

Before founding Mindful Venture, I spent over a decade inside global development and investment environments… facing the same political complexity, responsibility creep, and high-stakes dynamics my clients face today.

I’ve coached women across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the U.S., helping them lead with clarity, confidence, and presence.

The women I work with don’t just grow, they step into roles that align with their vision, not just others’ expectations.
They communicate with more ease, lead with less strain, and stop carrying what was never theirs to begin with. This is leadership that grows your career … without costing your wellbeing.

HOW CONSCIOUS EXECUTIVE COACHING WORKS

This is a bespoke coaching partnership. While every engagement is tailored, our work together typically moves through four stages:

STAGE I

Diagnose — surface the patterns shaping how you lead, decide, and carry responsibility

STAGE II

Clarify — define what matters most and where your real leverage lies

STAGE III

Rewire — shift the internal patterns that shape how you respond under pressure

STAGE IV

Expand — step into greater authority, influence, and scope with confidence and sustainability

The structure provides clarity and momentum, while the work itself is deeply personalised.

WHAT WOMEN OFTEN SAY AFTER THE WORK

“This journey is unlike any other leadership training I’ve done – it’s career-changing. I’ve learned to lead with empathy, communicate courageously, and delegate without guilt. I’m more grounded, confident, and balanced than ever.

I truly appreciated how these sessions pushed me to explore areas I had previously been afraid to confront — and going there was incredibly powerful. I’ve come a long way. Thank you so much, Mariya — truly.”

— Natalia B., Global Head of Data, ENGIE Energy Access

“I feel more confident and empowered as a leader. I’ve learned to self-regulate and co-regulate with my children and team. The BRAVE framework empowered me to have courageous conversations. I'm more self-aware and more willing to be vulnerable.

Mariya truly understood me as a person, zeroed in on my strengths and areas of improvement, was patient to work with me on the areas I needed help with, and kept me accountable on progress. I’m not the same person as when we started the journey.”

— Mineh M., Country Head of Customer Experience, Ignite Energy Access
