YOU DON'T NEED ANOTHER GENERIC CAREER COACH
You need someone who understands how ambitious careers actually work.
Whether you're considering your next move, aiming for a promotion, moving into leadership, or struggling to communicate your value, we'll turn the noise into a practical strategy.
HOW I CAN HELP
Three areas.
One clearer career.
No one-size-fits-all frameworks. We focus on the specific challenge in front of you and build a plan you can actually use.
Professional Branding
Turn your experience into a compelling professional story that makes your value easier to see.
- LinkedIn & professional positioning
- Personal brand strategy
- Executive presence
- Communicating your expertise
Leadership
Move from being the person who delivers the work to the person who shapes direction and influence.
- First-time leadership
- Technical leadership
- Influence without authority
- Leadership confidence
THIS MAY BE FOR YOU IF...
You're good at what you do.
But you know you're ready for more.
01
You've outgrown your current role but aren't sure what the next chapter should look like.
02
Your work is strong, but your professional profile doesn't reflect your actual level.
03
You want to move into leadership without losing the technical expertise that got you there.
04
You're ambitious — but want a career that fits your life, values and long-term goals.
MY APPROACH
Practical.
Personal. No fluff.
01
We get clear
We identify what's actually holding you back — not just the symptom you came in with.
02
We get strategic
We turn your strengths, experience and ambitions into a focused career strategy.
03
We take action
You leave with decisions, language and concrete next steps — not a folder of inspirational worksheets.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF COACH
I've spent my career on the other side of the table.
Hi, my name is Márcia Vagos. I'm a technical leader, consultant and researcher with a background spanning technology, AI, data, R&D and complex technical organisations.
I've hired, led, advised, built and navigated my own career across countries and industries. That experience shapes how I coach: with curiosity, honesty and a strong bias toward practical action.

GOOD TO KNOW
Questions,
answered.
Who do you work with?
I primarily work with ambitious professionals in technology, STEM and other knowledge-intensive fields. My coaching is open to all genders and backgrounds.
Do I need to be looking for a new job?
No. Coaching can be useful when you're job searching, preparing for a promotion, considering a transition, stepping into leadership, or simply trying to make sense of what's next.
Is this therapy or counselling?
No. This is professional coaching focused on career decisions, positioning, leadership and action. It is future-oriented and practical.
Can we work together longer term?
Absolutely. After an initial strategy session, we can decide whether a short programme or ongoing coaching makes sense for your goals.
