When you climb on the top of the mountain it can be a stressful and lonely journey
As an executive leader in the past, I know it can be a lonely path.
Your team may sometimes feel like a family—and other times like a terrarium. When we walk that path alone, it’s easy to lose perspective or miss the opportunities that truly align with your values.
Effective leadership is like playing polo: you not only need the skill but also have to ride an animal that is bigger and stronger than you. Corporate leadership can elevate your career, but the journey can be costly without a trusted coach by your side.
Now, you might be wondering: Why is this more affordable than corporate programs?
When I work with you individually, you’re the sole decision-maker. There are no stakeholder briefings or multi-party alignment meetings. That allows us to get straight to the work that matters—to you. This coaching is designed to be direct, personal, and deeply impactful.
LīF Session: Gain Clarity. Reclaim Integrity. Move Forward.
A 90-minute one-on-one session for senior leaders ready to pause the noise and listen inward.
Why This Session?
Even the most seasoned leaders reach a point where something no longer feels aligned. The ambition is still there. The calendar is full. The results are coming in. But under the surface? A quiet discomfort, a persistent question, or a gnawing sense that success has come at the cost of something essential.
The LīF Session was created for this exact moment.
This is not therapy. Not a sales pitch. Not another personality profile. It’s a one-time, transformative coaching experience designed to help you see clearly where you are—so you can decide what comes next.
What’s Included
Pre-Session Preparation
You’ll complete the LīF Assessment—a leadership integrity self-assessment that maps your strengths and challenges across four dimensions: Purpose, Presence, Partnership, and Perspective. You’ll also engage with the MyWorldView® Transformational Cards, a reflective tool designed to deepen insight into how you think, respond, and grow through change.
90-Minute Private Coaching Session
Maria will guide a focused, high-impact conversation that synthesizes the insights from your assessment and cards. This isn’t a passive review—it’s an active reflection to surface what matters most right now and translate it into meaningful next steps.
What You’ll Leave With
- Fresh clarity about your current leadership state
- Greater emotional balance and sense of inner alignment
- A concrete plan for what to focus on next—on your own or with further coaching
A Word from Leaders Who’ve Experienced It
“I came in overwhelmed and unsure. I left with surprising clarity and a roadmap I actually want to follow.”
— Senior Leader, Tech Industry
“This wasn’t what I expected—it was much deeper. I’m sleeping better, showing up more grounded, and finally feel like I have my own back again.”
—C-Level Executive, Healthcare
“It was affirming and uncomfortable in the best way. Maria didn’t give me answers. She helped me listen to the ones I already had.”
— Head of Strategy, Global Finance Firm
Who It’s For
This session is ideal for senior executives, rising leaders, or seasoned professionals who:
- Are navigating transitions, high-stakes decisions, or personal crossroads
- Feel disconnected from their leadership identity or unsure what’s next
- Want a confidential, high-caliber coaching experience without a long-term commitment
- Are considering coaching but want clarity before investing further
- Have recently stepped into a senior or officer-level role and find that leading beyond their function or silo requires a new blend of influence, perspective, and skill they haven’t fully developed—yet

I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with Maria as my executive coach. Maria is an exceptional coach who played an important role in transforming my professional career. Maria’s 360-degree assessment provided invaluable insights, which helped me to understand better myself and my goals. Thanks to Maria, I discovered what I was truly looking for and how to transform my career.
Maria’s coaching style is very professional and empathetic which makes me feel safe and respected during our sessions.
She helped me push myself to get the results I was looking for.
Thank you, Maria.I can definitely recommend Maria!
Maria Wade is an exceptional executive coach who played a pivotal role in transforming my professional approach. Before her guidance, I grappled with frustration over unheeded advice. Maria skillfully helped me uncover the root of this frustration, fostering a mindset shift where I processed the dismissals more objectively.
Maria’s unique communication style, a perfect balance of challenge and support, set her apart during my search for a coach. Her cordial yet impactful sessions created a safe space for open communication and experimentation. In particular, Maria’s 360-degree assessment provided invaluable insights, revealing shared challenges and empowering me to choose how to address areas needing improvement.
I recommend Maria Wade to any executive seeking a strategic partner for their professional journey. Her ability to guide leaders, foster self-awareness, and create a secure space for growth is truly commendable.
I have just concluded my coaching program with Maria—my first-ever experience with an executive coach—and I can confidently say it has been incredible, powerful, and effective due to Maria’s exceptional skills and extremely relevant program structure. As a newly-appointed COO, I came into the program with certain topics to be addressed (along with certain personal expectations), and not only was each topic thoroughly discussed, investigated, and resolved, but she helped me with other unanticipated issues that arose during the course of my first months in the C-Suite. Maria was insightful, listened extremely well, and was able to dig through the surface level to get to the root causes of each topic, always in a safe, conversational, and open atmosphere. She challenged me to think about myself, question my own assumptions, and listen to my own words, never giving me the answers but allowing me the freedom to discover the answers myself with her expert guidance. I interviewed several potential coaches before selecting Maria, and she was absolutely the right choice for me.
