Adelphē Coaching Collective

Career Coaching for Women

About

The name Adelphē  comes from the Greek word for sisterhood. It reflects the spirit of my work. Women supporting one another, investing in one another, and building careers that stand on both strength and intention.

Long before I became a career coach, I was the person people turned to for advice. Friends, colleagues, and many times, even strangers trusted me to listen closely, make sense of complex situations, and offer a path forward. That instinct grew into a career based on three core strengths: clear communication, a systems mindset, and a commitment to helping others grow with confidence.

I began my professional career with a billion-dollar recruitment firm, working across both business development and talent placement. Over time, I have built and led teams, launched businesses across multiple industries, and supported hundreds of clients through career transitions. 

While my roots are in the United States and Canada, I have lived and worked in several other countries, including South Korea, India, and Singapore. I have also remotely supported clients across China, Southeast Asia, Central America, and the Caribbean. This global experience gives me a practical understanding of navigating change, rebuilding in unfamiliar environments, and building a career that can move with you. It also allows me to support clients from a wide range of backgrounds, including those pursuing transitions of all kinds, remote work, and internationally oriented careers. 

My work also reflects the realities of a changing workforce. I teach clients how to think strategically about their careers, how to use emerging AI tools in their daily work and long-term professional development, and how to build systems that support consistency and growth.

At the same time, I believe deeply in the value of human connection. Technology can support the process, but it cannot replace judgment, perspective, or trust. 

Career decisions are personal. You deserve thoughtful guidance from someone who understands both the technical landscape and the human side of change.

This work is best suited for those who are ready to invest in themselves and take their next step with intention. It is also part of a broader mission. For every client I serve, I dedicate time to supporting women who may not otherwise have access to career guidance. When you invest in your own growth, you are also helping create opportunities for someone else.

That is the foundation of Adelphē Coaching Collective. A practice built on expertise, shared progress, and the belief that when women move forward, we should bring others with us.

Testimonials

"I’ve always seen myself on a C-suite path- ambitious, driven, and leading a large team in a high-visibility role. But when I returned from maternity leave after my second child, I felt torn between who I was at work and who I was becoming at home. Coaching with Maryanne was the turning point. She helped me recognize my strengths, quiet the imposter syndrome, and map out a path that supports both my long-term career ambitions and my family. I returned to work feeling grounded, confident, and truly in control of my next chapter. It was one of the best investments I’ve ever made in myself."

- Brittney, Operations & Strategy Leader

“Working with Maryanne was a genuinely clarifying experience. Her thought-provoking questions helped me gain confidence and clarity about my professional direction. I appreciated how she combined practical guidance with actionable steps I could apply between sessions to begin moving toward my career goals. I left each session feeling both hopeful and motivated about my future career prospects.”

- Kyria, Nurse Practitioner & Business Owner

“Maryanne helped me see and truly value my own progress, which gave me a new sense of confidence in my abilities. I now feel like a capable professional, not just someone still learning. I also left every session with a clear, structured plan that brought focus to my job search, networking, and skill development. Within one month of our sessions, I secured a new role! Working with Maryanne didn’t just meet my expectations- it went far beyond them. I expected something brief and general, but instead, I received deep, personalized guidance, clarity, and motivation.”

- Kateryna, Financial Services Professional (Pro bono client)

“Coaching with Maryanne helped me turn what felt like overwhelming process into clear, manageable steps. Her follow-up summaries, with structured notes and practical resources, made it much easier to process and move forward. I felt seen, heard, and supported throughout. Maryanne's steady, thoughtful guidance helped me build confidence and take real action, especially in repositioning my experience and advancing key job applications.”

- Tina, Career transition: Public Health → Private Sector (Pro bono client)

“Maryanne worked with me to brainstorm and plan out my job search, then helped me revamp my cover letter and resume, which took real effort, and guided me through the entire interview process and beyond. I truly loved working with Maryanne. She is a real professional and does not miss a beat. If you have the opportunity to work with her, you will find that she comes well prepared, asks thoughtful and probing questions, and has a strong command of industry standards. It was such a privilege to work with her.”

- Jessica, Architect → Designer & Entrepreneur

Frequently Asked Questions

Who do you typically work with?
I work with women at all stages of their careers, from those entering the workforce to senior leaders. Many clients are navigating transition, seeking advancement, returning to work, or looking to build a career that aligns more closely with their goals and circumstances. 
Where are you based, and do you work with international clients?
I am based in the United States and Canada and work with clients virtually across time zones.

I regularly support clients in different locations and aim to offer scheduling flexibility where possible. Sessions are conducted in English and scheduled based on availability.
How do I know which package is right for me?
The best place to start is the free discovery call. This allows us to discuss your goals, where you are in the process, and what level of support would be most useful. From there, I can recommend the option that aligns best with your needs and timeline. 
What can I expect from a coaching session?
Each session is focused, structured, and tailored to your priorities. We may work through strategy, refine materials, prepare for interviews, or talk through decisions in a practical way.

You can expect clear guidance, honest feedback, and a conversation that moves you forward. After each session, you will receive follow-up notes and resources to support continued progress.
Do I need to know exactly what I want before we start?
No. Many clients begin with uncertainty. Part of the process is helping you clarify direction, explore options, and make informed decisions based on your strengths and goals. 
How do resume and LinkedIn reviews work compared to coaching sessions?
The asynchronous review is designed for independent work with expert guidance. You will receive detailed, written feedback and clear direction to strengthen your resume or LinkedIn profile, but you will implement the changes yourself.

Coaching sessions are more collaborative and interactive. If these materials are your priority, we work together in real time to refine them, shape your narrative, and apply those changes within the context of your broader career strategy. Many clients choose coaching when they want deeper guidance, accountability, and support beyond a single deliverable.
How do you incorporate AI into your coaching?
I help clients use AI as a practical tool to support their work, including research, drafting, preparation, and organization. The focus is on using these tools with intention while maintaining your own voice, judgment, and ethics. 
How quickly will I see results?
This depends on your goals and level of engagement. Some clients experience clarity and direction after a single session, while others benefit from a longer process that allows for deeper and more sustained progress.

Meaningful results come from a combination of clear strategy and consistent action over time.
Is coaching confidential?
Yes. All conversations and materials are treated with discretion and respect.

I follow established standards, including the International Coaching Federation Code of Ethics, with a strong emphasis on confidentiality, professionalism, and client-centered practice.
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
Policies are outlined at the time of booking. In general, sessions may be rescheduled with advance notice, and services are non-refundable once completed.

In certain circumstances, partial refunds may be considered. Full details will be provided before any engagement begins. 

What is the social mission, and how does it work?
For every client I work with, I dedicate time to supporting women who may not otherwise have access to coaching.

This support takes different forms. In some cases, it includes individuals navigating significant life transitions, such as divorce or re-entry into the workforce. In others, it may include women rebuilding stability after displacement or working toward new opportunities in unfamiliar environments.

I also seek opportunities to partner with organizations that support women in transition, offering coaching and contributions where they can have meaningful impact on a larger scale.

When you invest in your own growth at Adelphē Coaching Collective, you are also helping extend support to other women. It is a direct and ongoing part of how this practice operates.
Why have a social mission?
This work reflects my personal commitment to service and shared progress.

I was a first-generation college student, and much of what I have been able to build in my life and career is the result of mentorship. In particular, women who took the time to guide me, advocate for me, and invest in my growth.

That experience shapes how I approach my work. I know that access to thoughtful guidance can change the trajectory of someone’s career and life. I also believe in creating space for that support to extend beyond those who can easily access it.

I am mindful of keeping my coaching affordable for those who are able to invest, while also recognizing that in uncertain economic times, even that investment can feel significant. For many clients, it matters that their decision to invest in themselves also contributes to something beyond their own progress.

For those who share a belief in service and supporting other women, this becomes part of the experience at Adelphē Coaching Collective. It is an opportunity to move forward in your own career while also helping create access and opportunity for someone else.

This is where the "collective" comes in. It is not just individual progress, but shared progress, built together.
I am seeking pro bono support or represent an organization. How can I connect?
If you are an individual seeking pro bono coaching, or if you represent an organization interested in collaboration, you are welcome to reach out by email.

Please include a brief overview of your situation or organization, and I will follow up if there is an opportunity to support. Availability is limited, but each inquiry is reviewed with care.

If I am not able to meet your needs at a given time, I will do my best to share additional resources, referrals, or alternative avenues for support. The goal is always to ensure that you have a path forward.

In some cases, individuals may be invited to complete a short application or provide additional information as part of a vetting process.
