As a country manager for IconoClass, she is always keeping track of everything and making sure to address everyone's needs. She is highly organized and effective in her role. She is a true professional and really added value to my training and skills.

My experience with IconoClass has exceeded my expectations and Maria is upholding the school's reputation in the UK by far.

Iconoclass is an intensive 12 week bootcamp that creates top B2B salespeople and Maria plays a foundational role in the program.

When I first joined Iconoclass, Maria went above and beyond to ensure that I had a chance to become an outstanding sales professional.

In our career development sessions and throughout the whole bootcamp, she has shown that she has great perseverance and really wants the best for everyone she works with.

She’s built an incredible bootcamp and I know it will go from strength to strength.

Will always be forever grateful for Maria.

I wholly recommend Maria, she’s a total professional and her ability to help you understand things from a different perspective is unique and powerful. She certainly had a positive impact on me whilst we were going through a coaching program. I’d work with her again in a heartbeat.

I have had the fortune and pleasure of working with Maria in the initiation and execution of the Groupon Coaching Academy. This was from conceptualisation to launch.

Maria is an extremely valuable member of the team and was instrumental in devising, writing and leading the coaching training sessions.

Maria is one of the most dedicated, hardworking and innovative people I’ve had the pleasure of working with in any capacity. Her knowledge in the area of coaching is second to none, and the competencies that she has in writing and delivering materials is first class.

She is also compassionate, kind and never misses the opportunity to help others. She is truly an inspiration.

Maria is the type of person you can count on to keep a cool head in a stressful situation, and her positive attitude and wonderful smile is contagious.

For these reasons, I recommend Maria for any area of coaching and believe she would be a valuable asset to any organization fortunate enough to have her work on their team.

I attended one of Maria's coaching courses and found it immensely useful. Maria has a great approach to coaching and is very passionate in wanting to get the best out of people. Maria's course really helped with my personal development and I will continue to implement the tools learnt throughout my career.

Maria was fantastic to work with. She not only helped revamp the content on my LinkedIn page but also CV. Maria provided useful and current information and how to apply that to my job search, gave me material for reference and remained in contact post our call. After our session and listening to Maria's positivity and seeing the outcome of our call, it gave me renewed energy and a sense of "I can do this".

Thank you Maria for all your help.

I hired Maria at Groupon and for good reason! She has excellent presence and delivery skills as a sales trainer. She took the time to take me through an individual confidence coaching session to refocus my own personal development plan and I was impressed by her knowledge and approach.

Maria is a very talented sales trainer with a laser-beam focus on execution and attention to detail. She's the person to ask the right questions, to raise her hand and proactively jump head down in our team's projects. Her knowledge and skills in coaching are an excellent fit for a sales trainer role. Her accountability and ability to drive projects with high degree of independence is exemplary. I am very happy to have her on our team and to recommend her talents and skills.

Hi Maria. I need to let you know about the transformation I've had this weekend. I haven't stopped thinking about the 'golden key' you helped me discover during our coaching session on Saturday. It's so clear in my mind it's been keeping me awake. I now realise the glass wall which was in my way for months is actually merely a sliding glass door, and can be opened with a golden key. The idea this was 'wall' a physical obstruction has quickly turned into an excuse I was holding onto for months. This realisation has really increased my energy all weekend. My mindset is even stronger. It's taken me a while but my belief is greater than ever before. That golden key is mine once I own the decision to pick it up and open the lock. Imagine the joy in finding a way to open a secret/hidden door in a wall. I'm mega excited and I will definitely be keeping you updated as I turn the key and walk into the life at the other side I've already designed. Thank you so much.

Maria is fantastic! I sought her help after I felt like my confidence was starting to hold me back in both my career and personally. We worked together for the last half of 2019 and she really helped me work through a lot of things and really pushed and challenged me to change my belief system. It has all taught me so much and I now rationally think about things rather let my thoughts get the better of me. Since we stopped working together I’ve made sure to continue all the practices we put in place and have since got myself a position at a new company and I even surprised myself during the interview process! Things are definitely on the up. Thank you Maria!
