About Ana Are you struggling with workplace challenges that keep you up at night? Whether you're a new manager feeling in over your head, dealing with difficult team dynamics, or trying to advance your career while maintaining some semblance of work-life balance – you're not alone, and you don't have to figure it out by yourself. I'm Ana, and I've spent over a decade in HR leadership roles before becoming a coach. I've seen every workplace challenge from both sides – as the employee struggling and as the leader trying to support others. This unique perspective allows me to help you navigate your specific situation with both empathy and practical strategies. What makes my approach different? I don't just give generic advice. I help you develop the emotional intelligence and self-awareness needed to handle whatever your workplace throws at you. Whether you're dealing with a micromanaging boss, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling stuck in your career progression, we'll work together to build your confidence and create actionable solutions. My clients often come to me when they:

• Just got promoted to management and feel completely unprepared
• Are burned out but don't know how to change their situation
• Want to advance their career but keep hitting invisible barriers
• Struggle with work-life balance and feel guilty about both sides
• Have difficulty with workplace relationships and communication
• Feel overwhelmed by constant change and technological demands

In our sessions, you'll gain:

• Clarity on your career goals and the steps to achieve them
• Tools to manage workplace stress and prevent burnout
• Confidence to have difficult conversations and set boundaries
• Strategies for effective leadership (even if you're new to it)
• Skills to thrive in remote/hybrid work environments
• A sustainable approach to work-life integration

I believe that understanding yourself is the foundation for all professional success. That's why my coaching focuses first on building your self-awareness and emotional intelligence – because when you know how to manage yourself, you can effectively lead others and navigate any workplace challenge.
