It’s official! I just signed the offer - wouldn’t have become a VP without you! Thank you so much for empowering me. I’m so grateful.
Katie Wells
Director
Working with Maya was a career game-changer for me. I came in unsure about how to approach negotiating two new job offers, and she worked with me to clarify my values and develop a strategy that helped me get incredible results. With Maya's help, I secured a new role that pays over $50k more than my last one—and, unlike my previous position, it’s with a company that aligns with my values. On top of that, I’ve gained a new client who’s paying me an additional $15k over the next three months, and my move to a new city is now fully covered! I highly recommend working with Maya - having someone with her expertise and experience in your corner will empower you to take control of your career and get the results you deserve!

I wanted to share some great news with you - I got promoted to Director! I’m incredibly grateful for your program- Success Builders, which had a HUGE impact on me. While much of what you taught was familiar, your methodical approach, clear instructions, personal examples, motivation, and valuable resources made all the difference. In fact, your guidance has completely shifted how I view professional growth and development. It now feels not just possible but fully achievable - with the right mindset, the right processes in place, and a structured approach to success. Thank you for everything!

CHRO
I am excited to share some significant updates about my professional journey since the program ended last month: I have accepted a new role as CHRO at a 600 people global company. This is the role I envisioned in the career vision for 5-10 years from now! In parallel, I have also founded my own individual company and joined an executive coaching network to grow my business further. This dual focus has given me a broader perspective on my career, and it seems it's time to revisit my career vision and aim even higher!

Sr. Product Marketing Manager
I secured the promotion from my current company and I'm getting my first direct report, earlier than expected. I can't believe everything happened so quickly once I took control of my career and started taking action.
Lorena
Director - Suntory Global Spirits
When I started working with Maya, I was exploring new opportunities and knew I needed to step up my executive presence. I wanted to show up as a real leader - clear, confident, and impactful. From day one, Maya had my back. She challenged my thinking, helped me reframe situations, and gave me the tools to instantly elevate how I communicated my value. Success Builders has been a game changer. I now know what matters, how to lead with purpose, and how to make my impact impossible to ignore. This is hands down the best investment I’ve made in my growth.

Katie Gerard
Director or Product Marketing
When I started the program, I really wanted to grow and I wanted to take on new projects, but I felt like I didn't have the skills to get there. I felt not supported. I was really frustrated. Following the program I was able to move to a new company where I now lead product marketing myself and moreover I’m respected as an expert and people really value my skillset. This has been a truly life changing experience for me. My new role came with a bump in salary, and that paid for the course and then some. And I also feel like my new mindset is going to just pay dividends.
Vance Zeumer
Manager - CGT
Doing the work better than anyone worked—until it didn’t. When new management arrived, I realized that despite leading multiple departments as a director, I wasn’t seen as ‘executive material.’ The rules of the game had changed, but I hadn’t. Working with Maya transformed how I approached leadership. She showed me that moving from manager to director—or from director to VP—requires a deliberate shift, especially for technical leaders aspiring to the executive level. Through her coaching, I learned to reframe my story from ‘doer’ to enterprise risk mitigator, and to communicate in a way that connects with senior decision-makers. Maya’s insights—like ‘frame your work around business results, not personal achievement’ and ‘executives get hired for their potential impact’—have been game-changing. While I haven’t yet made the full jump to the executive level, my perspective has expanded, and my input is now sought by executives and peers on issues of strategic importance. Maya continues to guide me toward the next level of leadership.
Deba Eigbe
Sr Manager TC Energy
Thanks for the incredible program, and the insights you’ve shared—I’ve found them truly valuable. I joined Success Builders to grow my skill set and have a clear strategy for career growth. One of the best things I left with was my 10 year vision that keeps me disciplined and grounded, alongside new skills like self promotion and executive communication. I’ve been integrating your teachings/strategies into my daily routine and am committed to applying the material to reach my goal of becoming a director.
Maryanne
Senior Delivery Manager- Merchandise, Planning and Supply Chain
Before joining Success Builders, I knew I needed to manage executive pressure but no one could show me how. This program gave me the tools and the global community I didn’t know I needed. I’ve transformed how I communicate and show up as a leader, which has directly lifted my influence and the business results I deliver. Because of these shifts, I’ve even been able to negotiate a flexible work arrangement creating space to thrive in my career and be present for my daughter’s first year of school. Working 1:1 with Maya has been a game-changer. Her energy is contagious, and her ability to make complex frameworks simple is pure gold.
