Offers
1:1 Coaching Session
Personal coaching focused on your request.
How it works
A free 20-minute introduction call to discuss your request, how coaching works, your expectations, confidentiality and ethics, and practical arrangements.
Book a session, up to 60 minutes.
Continue with a sequence of sessions to work towards your goals.
Coaching Circles
Small-group coaching around a shared professional request.
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.
Coaching
I ask the questions that help you find your own answers, not give mine.
Consultation
My perspective, analysis, feedback and practical recommendations — including career consultation, when that’s what’s needed.
Mentoring
Relevant experience, guidance, examples and lessons learned.
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.
