Academia can be a space of vocation, but also of self-pressure and burnout. A study by Nature (2019) found that more than 36% of PhD candidates report anxiety or depression related to their research, and 51% have considered leaving an academic career altogether. Coaching can support you in the process of reorienting your professional identity, making decisions without guilt, and building a sustainable path, whether within academia or beyond it.
Coaching for Career Transitions and Professional Growth
Your personalized roadmap for career changes
"I hate my job." But there you are... Does it sound familiar?
I support people going through a professional transition in finding clarity, direction, and a career path that aligns with their values and lifestyle. In career change and professional development coaching sessions, we focus on understanding what you actually want, how to articulate it with confidence, and how to take sustainable steps toward a working life that feels genuinely livable.
Your professional life deserves clarity, direction, and a pace you can sustain.
We will work together to:
Clarify what you want and where you want to go.
Recognize your strengths and learn how to communicate them confidently.
Design a professional strategy aligned with your values.
Learn to make difficult decisions with clarity instead of fear or self-doubt.
Create a clear, realistic, and sustainable action plan.
Learn to set healthy boundaries in the workplace.
This process helps you move with intention, so your career doesn’t just “happen” to you — you choose it.
Are you starting to rethink your career, or feeling stuck in your current role? Career and professional development coaching can support you through that transition and help you move forward with more clarity.
Coaching for career transitions
More and more people feel that their work is no longer aligned with their values, sense of purpose, or lifestyle. According to Gallup (2022), more than 60% of workers report feeling disengaged and unmotivated in their current jobs, and 41% are considering a career change in the coming years. Career transition coaching helps you clarify what you want, recognize your strengths, and design a realistic action plan to move forward with intention, without paralysis or anxiety.
My online professional coaching sessions are designed for people who:
Are changing or want to change industries.
Have a stable but draining job and are afraid to leave.
Don’t know what they want, but know that this isn’t it. esto no es.
Need to learn how to set healthy boundaries at the workplace in order to be able to have a life of their own as well.
