What are you trying to figure out?

The old way no longer works. The new one isn’t clear yet. What do I do?
I’m at a career crossroads. Which way do I go?
How do I grow into what’s next professionally?
I’m returning to work, but my life looks different now. How do I make it fit?
There’s a project I keep thinking about. Why haven’t I started?
Stuck. Tired. Going through the motions. Not sure why anymore.

How it works

A Circle brings together 3–7 people working through similar questions. Facilitated sessions where you work on your own situation, alongside others doing the same — and benefit from their perspective along the way.

How a Session Works

One conversation, four possible shapes. Just bring your question — we’ll work out which one fits.

01

Coaching

I ask the questions that help you find your own answers, not give mine.

02

Consultation

My perspective, analysis, feedback and practical recommendations — including career consultation, when that’s what’s needed.

03

Mentoring

Relevant experience, guidance, examples and lessons learned.

04

Training

Structured learning designed to develop a specific skill or capability.

About Daria

My mission is to help professionals navigate change and uncertainty — one conversation at a time.

For more than 15 years, I have worked in environments where ambiguity, change and difficult decisions are part of the job — building technology products and high-performing teams, guiding organizations through major change, advising founders and executives, training and developing professionals, across industries, cultures and markets.

Today, I am a founder of a consulting business and an Erickson-certified coach. My practice brings together coaching, consultation, mentoring and training, depending on what actually helps.

You don’t need a tidy question to start.

FAQ

Who is coaching for?
Professionals at a turning point: a career crossroads, a step into a bigger role, returning to work after a break, or a project you haven’t started yet. Not sure it fits? Ask me directly on the Discovery Call.
Why do I need a coach — can’t I work this out myself?
You might. Some people do. Coaching helps you think more clearly and faster, with someone who pushes back when your reasoning gets too comfortable.
Can I try this before committing to anything?
Yes — that’s what the free Discovery Call is for. We’ll talk through your situation and how coaching works, with no obligation to continue.
How much does it cost, and how do I pay?
A session, up to 60 minutes, is $100. I’ll send an invoice — pay by card via the payment link, or by bank transfer.
Is what I share confidential?
Yes. What you tell me stays between us. This follows ICF confidentiality standards, with narrow legal exceptions.
Is this therapy?
No. Coaching works with where you’re headed. It doesn’t diagnose or treat emotional or mental health conditions. If your situation calls for that kind of support, I’ll say so and point you toward it.
