I support international professionals, who feel frustrated and stuck, to break the cycle of overwhelm and burnout, regain clarity, and find that sweet spot where career, life, and purpose align-where making a global impact doesn’t mean sacrificing personal fulfillment.

Ever feel like your development career is running your life, instead of the other way around? When stress drains your energy, overwhelm clouds your vision, and purpose feels lost in the daily grind. I help you break the loop and create a path where your career energizes rather than depletes you.

You know how many UN and NGO professionals are stretched so thin they feel that they are not really succeeding in any areas of life, not making any real impact? Well, what I do is support them rebalance their career-life-purpose to be the great professionals they want to be.

When verging on burnout and questioning your path – feeling pulled in too many directions while losing sight of your purpose.

I´ll help you clear the fog, rebuild sustainable boundaries, and rediscover where career fulfillment and personal wellbeing naturally align.

Darling global citizen,

Hi! I´m Maite, a health and development economist with over 25 years working for the United Nations, international NGOs, and universities across 13 countries and 5 continents, a globetrotter.

I’ve drawn on this diverse experience to offer coaching and mentoring within these organizations, to accompany and support professionals like you.

I live near the Mediterranean sea, among palm trees and tourists. The moment I land in Alicante, I know I’m home by that unmistakable scent of the sea.

I’m the mother of three sweet teenagers, partner to another international professional, my favorite ice cream flavor is nougat, and my favorite poets are Mario Benedetti and Mary Oliver.

And yours?

“I am very fortunate to have found Maite during a very ‘dark’ time during my career. Working with her, has been very helpful.She totally helped me to find the light, clarify my goals and to go get them. Thank you very much Maite for your help and guidance!”

 

“When I sought your help, I felt very disoriented and frustrated with the new professional challenge I was facing at that time. The pressure at work has only increased, but now I feel more confident and less frustrated in dealing with it. I cannot determine the exact percentage of improvement attributable to our process, but it’s clear that venting and reflecting in a guided and systematic way has played an important role in this progress.”

“I had been feeling disoriented for a while, working on myself but going in circles. I knew I wasn’t getting where I wanted to be…. I think I saw results from the first session. I realized that I was putting too much pressure on myself and that things could be easier. I learned that we don’t need to take giant steps but first discover our needs and what we want; from there, we can create a plan that includes small daily steps to get us where we want to be. What stands out most about this approach is its simplicity and that the main protagonist is oneself.”

“I identified myself with my job as if it were the most important thing and felt that I wasn’t giving enough space to my family and free time. During the 12 weeks I worked with Maite, my outlook changed. Now, I am progressing on several personal projects that were stuck and managing to keep work out of my private life. This personal work isn’t finished and never will be, but now, after working with Maite, I have the tools that help me day by day to see what I want and how I can achieve it.”
