A. Pereira - Amsterdam, Netherlands

"The Career Design journey and Ana’s guidance have made (and continue to make) a significant difference in my personal and professional life. The program allowed me to better understand myself, and to reflect on my values, skills, and interests, which gave me a much clearer vision of who I am and what I truly seek in my professional life. Ana showed me that with the right tools it is possible to design a career that is truly aligned with our aspirations and purpose. I feel much more secure about my choices and confident in my professional future."

R. Monti - São Paulo, Brazil

"The Career Design Journey has transformed me and is still supporting me in an important life transition. It structured my thoughts, put light and clarity into my dreams, and opened many new life possibilities. Thank you, Ana, for allowing me to look into the world with different eyes, and to own and celebrate what is inside me."

A. Koppe - São Paulo, Brazil

"Since the first session of the Career Design Journey, Ana’s provocations to my current thinking brought intense reflections. The methodology and tools she uses bring cadence to the program, as well as fundamental questions to reevaluate the current moment of one’s career and life, and the desired paths forward. I now have more clarity about myself, and more certainty about my potential to be able to follow the path I want, as a professional, as a woman, and as a mother."

A Personal Note from Ana
Hello, I'm Ana.

I'm a Career and Leadership Coach fully dedicated to helping women design and lead more authentic, exciting, and fulfilling careers.

How did I get here?
I dedicated most of my career to large (and traditional) multinational organisations. I had a pretty successful career. I worked for successful brands, engaging projects, with nice teams, a great salary, while travelling and getting to see the world.

However, after 15 years of that life, I felt something was missing.
I couldn’t really tell what it was, but I felt stuck, I felt numb. I felt I was not fulfilling my own potential. I felt I was not creating the value I wished for. I was also living a lifestyle I didn't want.

And so, I decided to change.

Since 2023, I've been invested in designing a career that makes the most of my Potential, fulfils and excites me with a beautiful Purpose, and allows me to have the Lifestyle I want.

And guess what? It is possible!
I can tell you it is possible because I am getting there.

Having gone through this transformation on my own - without a clear roadmap to follow - I decided to support women who wish to do the same.

This is why this Career Design Program came to life. It is creating dozens of happy clients! I love this program and can proudly say it is one of a kind.

I really hope you decide to join me and other women on this empowering journey.

Looking forward to meeting you soon,
Ana
