Manuela

Career Coach for Purpose-Driven Women

A session with me is like…
Entering a grounded, empowering space where your purpose, passions, and career challenges are explored with clarity and actionable guidance.

One life experience that helps me relate to my clients is…
Leaving a seemingly successful corporate career as an Executive Director at AOL to pursue a more purposeful path while navigating a personal breakup and relocation; a multicultural Japanese/Austrian heritage that enriches my perspective and approach to coaching

Three things I want clients to feel post-session are…
Fulfilled, confident, and empowered.

Past experience that qualifies me for this role is…
Over 15 years of experience in career transitions, leadership development, and mental resilience coaching for women; corporate career spanned strategy consulting at Bain & Company, product management at a Silicon Valley startup, and working as an Executive Director at AOL.

I empower professional women to find more fulfillment, growth and joy in their careers and their lives by unlocking their purpose, passions, strengths, and tapping into their Inner Champion. I believe that many of us pursue career goals that we think will make us feel successful and happy, but they often don’t bring us the fulfillment we expect. My approach blends research on career happiness, positive intelligence, and resilience with structured guidance, compassion, and practical tools to help women design a career and life that truly align with who they are.
